    Hello all! I have searched this forum, but haven't quite found a clear answer to my question.

    I have a pfSense server with an OpenVPN connection and I'd like to create more users that use this same OpenVPN server. I used the wizard to create this server and have the client export working properly. I've tried to create a user through the "Client" tab, but I can't figure out how to get a .p12, or if I need to do it another way. I've created the user and user certificate, but just unsure how to attack the 2nd client for OpenVPN server.

    Thank you in advance!

      you need to create additional users using system–>user manager

      for a youtube-tutorial that seems to be fairly accurate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdAHVSTl1ys

        I've already done that, so that's all I need to do? The users will use the same client export package, but will sign in with their individual user names? Is this correct?

          The only problem with that link, is it's showing how to setup 1 user and 1 OpenVPN server. I'm trying to figure out how to add multiple different users to the same server instance. I don't want to have tons of VPN servers running. All in total, I will have 25 VPN users and at least 2 site to site VPNs (which will be on separate servers).

            just add more users with the same CA as the openvpn server.
