Title: [SOLVED] OPNsense 26.1 openvpn client instance TLS static key = TLS auth only absent
Post by: hharry on March 26, 2026, 04:54:02 AM
OPNsense 26.1.5-amd64 openvpn client instance VPN: OpenVPN: Instances TLS static key = TLS auth only, is absent from UI

This breaks my NordVPN connections, with error of TLS handshake failure, as below

TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

The option, TLS static key = TLS auth only, is required for NordVPN connection to authenticate and get the tunnel UP

OPNsense 25.7.11_9-amd has the TLS static key = TLS auth only, and NordVPN tunnels come up just fine.

Seems like an oversight / bug to me...

When will it be fixed ?

You set the TLS key in the Static Keys tab.

Then go back to your instance and the key will be available to use.
