Hi
I've gone through the process of setting up a ovpn client vpn to my provider. This is connecting fine (apparently.. haven't manage to actually test it yet). But i'm at a point in the guides I have found that I should be creating an interface 'ovpnc0' (so, presumably I can route certain traffic down that interface) but when I go to interface assignments and try to create a new interface, there isn't one there with that name. Has something changed in the latest builds of OPNsense or is something just broken on my setup somehow?
thanks
Hi, is this 22.1.1? If yes could be a side effect of https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/5f6b380a33
# opnsense-patch 5f6b380a33
This historic code is a pretty mess.
Cheers,
Franco
Yes it is latest version.
I can't be the only person who is using that and openvpn as a client though?? How would one even use openvpn client if it wasn't the way that I'm being told to set it up?
Listen to me please as I explained it above.
Cheers,
Franco
Looks like a better fix https://github.com/opnsense/core/commit/c0467fb54ae1

?? sorry? I understand that you pointed to some github code and you said it was a mess of a code. I don't understand your reply to me implying that i should read what you wrote and understand it like it was some kind of fix or something? looking at the link , what that is to do with me wondering why am i the only person who could be experiencing/talking about this?
with respect, sending some backend code to a non-coder and expecting them to understand it doesn't go very far to understand what you are talking about.
looking at: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=26992.msg131068#msg131068
it seems like franco already released a hotfix for this issue.

Time to read up on opnsense-patch utility.
# man opnsense-patch
Test the patch that I provided for you.
# opnsense-patch 5f6b380a33
Give feedback if it solved the issue.
Easy. :)
All the niceties aside 22.1.1_3 already backed out the bad change because this took longer than expected the get some sort of feedback from a reporter.

great stuff. just done it. does it need a reboot or any services restarting to take effect?
