hello i am trying to replace a ddwrt/atheros router with opnsense/esxi/x86. to provide openvpn client to nordvpn. i followed these pfsense configuration instructions (https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn/ (https://nordvpn.com/tutorials/pfsense/pfsense-openvpn/)) as closely as possible. the openvpn client connects but then disconnects .. any advice what i can try?

Did you get your client to stay connected? I'm having the exact same issue. I hope someone who were successful at getting this to work post a HOWTO using OPNSense as a guide. There are differences in the pfSense vs OPNsense menus.

I have it set up with PIA. My advanced config is:
persist-key;
persist-tun;
remote-cert-tls server;
reneg-sec 0;
auth-retry interact
I can give you other details, if you wish. I remember there being a couple of issues that were not obvious from the
pfsense setup. For example, do not use hardware acceleration, and using an openvpn interface.
