      Hi guys,

      I'm setting up our network with PFSENSE servers to use OSPF routing protocol. My design can be seen as:

      I'd prefer to use leased lines over OpenVPN instances, and PFS1 server will be the hub.
      My OSPFd configs looks like:

      PFS1

      • Global settings: Redistributed connected networks [checked]
        Redistributed kernel: [checked]
      • Interfaces: OpenVPN: metric 30
      • Interfaces: leased: metric 10

      Other PFS

      • Global settings: Redistributed connected networks [checked]
        Redistributed kernel: [checked]
      • Interfaces: OpenVPN: metric 30 AND router priority: 0
      • Interfaces: leased: metric 10 AND router priority: 0

      OSPF status shows everything is up and running, but the DR isn't elected PFS1 as I expect.
      How can other router be DR when:

      Router Priority: … 0 will cause the router to not participate in election.

      I appreciate your comments.
