      Just a question,

      When is the rule created for the VPN, opening up 1194?

      I just moved my firewall to a new box, restored my config. All seems fine but openvpn user cannot connect, port is not open.

      I'd like to have the rule automatically created if possible.

        The rule's on WAN. It's created by the OpenVPN setup wizard, or manually created if you didn't use the wizard.

          OK, thank you.

          Port 1194 was not open so I deleted the rule, created it again. But, it is still not open. Is there something I should know about this?

              Do you need all the rules? As far as the rule for the vpn, this is it: I just did a cut and paste of the line.

              I tried moving it to 1193 to see if that port would be open. It wasn't.

                Obviously. Because if you did it right, then it'd be working out of the box.

                      This is version 2.0.  I'm using this version because in a later version I couldn't get ftp (regular ftp) to work, I needed to allow incoming ftp connections to work.

                      There are two rules in the OpenVPN tab, this is cut  and paste, these entries were automatically created by the wizards.

                          Well, would you, or anyone, happen to know if the latest version supports running  an ftp server?

                          I could not get incoming ftp connections to work, in 2.2.3.  It would allow connections, but no data transfer, it seemed.

                          Thank you

                            Every version supports running a FTP server. For 2.2.x, see https://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/FTP_without_a_Proxy or the FTP proxy package.

                            I'm guessing your testing as to whether the port is open is bunk. Trying to telnet to it? Can't do that with UDP ports.
