      Hi Guys,

      Is there possibility to run OpenVPN server on pfSense as non-privileged user to prevent something like this:

      "In case of the compromise of the OpenVPN solution (e.g. by 0-day exploit), an attacker
      could execute commands with the privileges of the OpenVPN solution. As OpenVPN is
      executed with administrative privileges, a user could compromise the entire server."

      Regards,
      Stefan
