      I have 2 pfsense boxes and 2 WAN connections with static IPs.
      I have setup WAN failover as well as hardware failover.
      Failover gateway group:
      WAN #1 uses wan_vip1 (tier 1)
      WAN #2 uses opt2_vip2 (tier2)

      I would like OpenVPN clients to be able to connect to the VPN [using the lowest tier available] regardless of which box and/or WAN is up.

      Could anyone point me in the right direction here?

        1. Make the OpenVPN server listen on the failover gateway group
        2. Register with a dynamic DNS provider (if not already).
          3)Add a Dynamic DNS entry to update the name based on Failover Gateway Group
        3. Setup the OpenVPN client systems to use the dynamic name to connect

        As the Greek philosopher Isosceles used to say, "There are 3 sides to every triangle."
