OpenVPN being blocked by PFsense PFBlocker
-
So out of nowhere, pfblocker started blocking my OpenVPN connections. It was all fine. Whitelisting through lists, does not cut it since I have dynamic ips on all locations. Should I remove my own country from blocks? is that the solution to this?
Thanks

Found that is pfblocker blocking my VPN.. let me see how to solve this.

Odd! I removed OpenVPN along the firewall rules, installed everything again…Worked..Geez...what a fight!
-
I keep documenting on this. I finally found a pattern here. This is how it goes:
1. Power goes off
2. Pfsense shuts down
3. Pfsense boots up
4. OpenVPN stops workingSo, I disable PFblocker, OpenVPN starts working again, then I turn on PFBlocker…any solutions that are a bit more on the automatic side??? This has been frustrating!

Put your allow rule for OpenVPN above any of the pfblocker rules.
Once the connection is active the firewall state lets it through so it ignores the rules from that point on since it's an active connection.

cant believe it was that simple! I did not know you could move up the rules, my bad. Thanks!
