      I followed this really good guide :
      https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=46984.0

      But when I connect to pfsense from my Windows 7 PC, I don't receive an IP address and it ends up reverting to a 169 address.

      Here is the client log :

      Wed Feb 04 22:09:51 2015 OpenVPN 2.3.6 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [IPv6] built on Dec  1 2014

      Wed Feb 04 22:10:07 2015 Initialization Sequence Completed

      My client conf is :

      dev tap
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      cipher AES-128-CBC
      auth SHA1
      tls-client
      client
      resolv-retry infinite
      remote 1.11.99.254 1195 udp
      lport 0
      verify-x509-name "MyVPN" name
      auth-user-pass
      pkcs12 udp-1195-testuser.p12
      tls-auth udp-1195-testuser-tls.key 1

      One thing I don't understand though....
      I created a new interface called ovpnint and then a bridge, ovpnbridge, combining this the int with my LAN. Where do I tell the openvpn to connect users to the openvpn interface, and therefore the bridge? The guide says under tunnel settings:

      Bridge Interface: Your LAN interface (or whatever interface you want remote clients to be on)

      Should this actually be the virtual interface created? Either way, I have tried both and I still get the same.

      Any ideas?
