Peer-to-peer constant reconnecting
-
I'm trying to setup a peer-to-peer OpenVPN between two pfsense servers running 2.0.1-RELEASE, but the client keeps getting the connection dropped, with a status of "reconnecting; ping-restart" and nothing appears to be routing between them. Both these firewalls are also doing PPTP VPNs that are working correctly. There is probably something simple I'm doing wrong, but after spending 4 hours trying to get the VPN up, I've run out of things to try. Thanks in advance.

you're not permitting the client traffic server-side in firewall rules. What I would have guessed anyway, but maybe I'm psychic and know that fixed your issue, and gave you the suggestion in the first place. ;)
