Hello everybody,
as I am a beginner with the opnsense ha configuration I wanted to ask you if it is normal or not that the openvpn service on the backup node is stopped and that it does not start if I try to start it from the GUI.
If I always check the connection status from the GUI, I read this message:
[error] Unable to contact daemon Service not running? 0 0 bytes 0 bytes
Thank you

Use localhost as Interface on OpenVPN Server and User Portforwarding on WAN (carp) to 127.0.0.1

Hi NilsS
thanks for the support.
But I don't think I have understood correctly.
"Use localhost as Interface on OpenVPN Server" I guess to be set in the slave configuration.
While "User Portforwarding on WAN (carp) to 127.0.0.1" I don't think I understand.
Thanks so much

Hi,
if you choose localhost on both machines then changes of the interfaces (or HA Failover) do not interupt the openvpn daemon. Portforward on both machines from VIP Interface:1194 to 127.0.0.1:1194
