Hi!

I read lot of forum messages to search a solution to my problem.

i see a weird thing. I have a multi WAN multi VLAN multi OpenVPN Pfsense (2.1.5-RELEASE (amd64) built on Mon Aug 25 07:44:45 EDT 2014 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p16)

If i change system routing table, mostly the system not use the Openvpn routes. The routes showing in routing table but can't work. I must to restart openvpn to repair this issue.

Have anybody an opinion or advice to resolve this?

Sorry for my poor english!

what are you using the system routing table for ?

i've never had that issue personally … but i would think you have conflicting/overlapping routes and depending on what route is configured last, one or the other would work

OpenVPN "route" commands add entries to the system routing table telling pfSense to route traffic to OpenVPN. Openvpn "iroute" commands tell the OpenVPN process, internally, which tunnel to send given traffic. I have never used the system routing table to make changes to what traffic is interesting to OpenVPN.
