      Hi I am using pfsense 2.0.3-PRERELEASE. When I open the page Status > Services, the ovpn client status is down, but the open vpn client is up. How can I solve this problem?

        What exactly does the OpenVPN status screen show? (Screenshot is best)
        Does it show down on both sides of the connection? Or just one?

        Is it SSL/TLS with a /30 tunnel network, SSL/TLS with a larger tunnel network, Shared key, etc?

        Need a lot more info to go on.

          Hi Thanks for your reply

          Yes is SSL/TLS client.

          I show you parameters and status using the attached images.

            That indicates that the process isn't running, and can't be reached through the management daemon (which typically also means the process is not running)

            Given that I really doubt it's actually working.

            I have a 2.0.3 VM here and the status shows fine for shared key and SSL/TLS clients for me.

              For me the process is running, but the status is wrong because I connect to that machine through the vpn address. That place has little bandwith.

                check this:

                ps uxawww | grep openvpn

                ls -l /var/run/openvpn*

                ls -l /var/etc/openvpn*

                If it can't contact the management daemon, it's not running properly or as expected. It works fine with a stock config, so it's also possible that one of your advanced option entries is causing the status to fail.

                    My example of this "feature" is at http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,59464.0.html
                    I have noticed it with both Peer-to-peer shared key and SSL/TLS links every now and then. I saw it just now and managed to gather some data.

                    As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
