26.7 Series / OpenVPN fd=8,Code=13 error
Last post by Darkvader - August 13, 2026, 01:02:46 PMHello, I would like some help figuring out why I have this particular error on a previously fully working openvpn config.
this line will fill the openvpn server logs and no clients can connect. I've spent the last hour re-creating the install and manually transferring the openvpn config over, only for it to do the same thing on the new install.
all instances are affected too.
over the last week, this config worked flawlessly but after an update it seems to be completely borked. I also can't seem to get it working by changing options around, it just seems to give the same error constantly now.
please help.

Last post by franco - August 13, 2026, 12:41:46 PMWell now we know:

Not great. But this is a Linux driver so I wonder if they switched BSD default to Linux or altered the detection?

Last post by franco - August 13, 2026, 12:36:23 PMIf I read this correctly
@${SED} -e 's|/usr/local|${PREFIX}|g;s|^CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211|#CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211|' ${BUILD_WRKSRC}/defconfig \
then the update disables the CONFIG_DRIVER_NL80211 driver but I am unsure why...
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/commit/f37b72501
doesn't tell us about the intention either

Last post by funtowne - August 13, 2026, 12:17:57 PMI performed a reboot. WAN has the new stable privacy address, other interfaces are still on the MAC-based addresses. sysctl was confirmed set in tunables before reboot and other interfaces have "STABLEADDR" in the nd6 options.
