Exact same issue listening to LAN and VPN.  I can start it from the GUI, but it would sure be nice if it could start itself.

I have my Google Compute Engine micro-f1 VM running OPNsense 14!  I have another OPNsense installation running in my office (behind a campus router).

The goal is to VPN between my office and the GCE, then VPN from the GCE to road warriors.  I have custom hardware in my office I need to allow road warriors to access.

If I follow the "Setup SSL VPN site to site tunnel" then "Setup SSL VPN Road Warrior"  I end up with two openVPN servers running on the GCE system on two ports.

Is that the smart way to reach my goal?

I have the serial comm and Web GUI up and running after a few additional changes.

My biggest problem was following the advice here:  https://www.netgate.com/docs/rcc-ve-2440/opnsense.html

Possibly this worked in version 15, but it took me way off track getting version 17 to run.

I may be closer to one issue.  Every time I modify /etc/ttys it gets overwritten on the next boot.  This happens in VirtualBox and GCP. 

How can I get etc/ttys changes to stick?

It appears I can share my current image if you want to bring up your own instance.  I think I need your Google based email address to authorize you to use the image.

My current results are from an f1-micro instance.  Low cost is my goal.

I have worked through several gce issues to get this far, I could use some help getting across the finish line.

The console is interactive already.  I can navigate the first menu just fine.

The current problem is I never get the second menu.

I feel like I am getting pretty close.  It has been a struggle.  I loaded OPNsense 17.1 into VirtualBox to generate an image.  I have the image created and transferred to gcp.  GCP recognizes the image an boots the VM.  I have the serial terminal running to monitor the boot.  Unfortunately I don't get a menu at the end of booting.  Also SSH fails.

I didn't assign any interfaces in VirtualBox because I knew they would change when it booted on GCP.

My goal is to get it running on the low cost micro instance.

Can you provide any clues from this log?  I'll share the image if I can get it working.
