Title: [SOLVED] VPN client connection fails
Post by: Arno on May 11, 2021, 04:42:56 pm

Hello to you all,

Using a VPN provider the client connection fails.
How to configure an OpenVPN client with NordVPN?

I checked the client configuration more than once.
The NordVPN helpdesk can't help me (until now).
Their guide is for 19.1. Options in version 21.1.5 are (a little) different.
My ISP gives me an IP address and I'm online.

An alternative configuration of pfSense 2.5.1 works.
Attached is the OpenVPN logfile.

Kind regards,
Arno

I don't think NordVPN supports SHA3-512
Try SHA512

@lfirewall1243 Good catch. Thanks.
When installing I made sure to select SHA, 512 and 512bit but I didn't saw the 3.
For testing I have to switch firewalls so it can take bit to post the result.
