Virtual private networks / Re: Cannot add interface (Interfaces → Assignments)

« on: February 19, 2022, 10:07:46 pm »

Thanks - that worked like a charm. And here I was thinking it was just down to the problem sitting in front of the keyboard, as usual 

Being new to OPNSense I wonder: Is there a release structure similar to i.e. debian?

As in oldstable / stable / testing / unstable?

Thx and best regards

Virtual private networks / Cannot add interface (Interfaces → Assignments)

« on: February 18, 2022, 11:58:09 pm »

Hi@all,

1st post after searching for days:

Goal: OpenVPN Client with provider Perfect Privacy, following Guide https://www.perfect-privacy.com/en/manuals/router_opnsense_openvpn

Bringing up a VPN Client Connection is working ("Initialization Sequence Completed").

"System: Log Files: General" shows:

Code: [Select]

2022-02-18T23:37:48 Error opnsense /usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: Interface '' (ovpnc1) is disabled or empty, nothing to do.
2022-02-18T23:37:48 Error opnsense /usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: IPv4 renewal is starting on 'ovpnc1'
2022-02-18T23:37:45 Error php-cgi /vpn_openvpn_client.php: OpenVPN client 1 instance started on PID 89493. (Why is this logged as "Error" btw? Seems that others have strange things happening to their logs with 22.1.1_1 as well...)

Next step in aforementioned guide would be:
"Use the menu to go to Interfaces → Assignments and at New Interface select ovpnc1 then click the + button."

It's just that there simply is no + button there, I cannot create a new interface.

Looking at "Interfaces: Overview" I do see the entry "Unassigned interface (ovpnc1) "

There seem to be others with the same problem (that is, at least one): https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=25945.0

So far I have not seen any answer / solution / simple *doh* thing that I've missed.

Hope this contains all information required, I shall continue to try being concise and complete 

best regards
Martin
