I am trying to setup OpenVpn with OpnSense 25.1.
I am able to connect but with no data transfer of any kind (from wireshark, I could only see ARP requests).
The OpenVpn GUI reports the following logs:
Sun Nov 30 09:21:54 2025 Note: --cipher is not set. OpenVPN versions before 2.5 defaulted to BF-CBC as fallback when cipher negotiation failed in this case. If you need this fallback please add '--data-ciphers-fallback BF-CBC' to your configuration and/or add BF-CBC to --data-ciphers.

My VPN net is 10.254.3.0/24 and LAN on OpnSense is 10.254.0.0/24.
I do have an all allow firewall rule on the OpenVpn interface under Firewall/Rules.
No ping or data transfer, and when using OpenVpn Connect it keeps reconnecting every 40 second.
