      Hi,

      Not that long ago this seemed to be working, but … when I connect to my OpenVPN server now, the OpenVPN status page shows no users connected (but I am connected!), and correspondingly the RRD graphs show no users (which matches, it's just wrong ... :().

      Is anyone else seeing this?

      Thanks!

        Seems to work for me. I connect to the VPN and it shows me in the list.

        Sure you're looking at the status of the correct server?

          Pretty sure … ;-). I only have 1 server.

          It's interesting, because I see 0 users, but I do see traffic (in the RRD traffic plots). I "used to" (I think) see this, but now DHCP is not coming from OpenVPN itself (it wasn't before either) + I have added the LAN as an allowed network. Perhaps something here is causing this?

          Thanks!

            Hi,

            And even more interesting - when connected it says my OpenVPN server is down, but it's back up once I disconnect. Very odd … :(.

            Thanks!

              Yes about a week ago a friend was using my OpenVPN while traveling, and sometimes the connection would not show up in RRD.  Even though at the same time my OpenVPN connection was showing up just fine.

                Ok - So I've seen this error with status before and not sure if its related but can post anyway.

                https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=70720.0

                So I'm wondering if the PID issue will also impact the RRD graphs?  Hope I'm not way off target here.

                  Hi,

                  FYI, I'm currently connected to OpenVPN … and yet it shows no Client Connections, and the Load Balancer shows OpenVPN as down (even though I'm connected!). If I disconnect, the Load Balancer will show OpenVPN as back up and running.

                  Thanks.

                    FYI, updated to v2.2.1 - still see this issue … :(.

                    I am actively connected to OpenVPN, yet Load Balancer shows it as down, and OpenVPN status shows no users connected.

                    Any things I can / should check?

                    Thanks!
