OpnSense VPN GW on AWS goes black after assigning interfaces

[flypenguin]

hi forum, i have an opnsense host in an AWS VPC with two NICs in two subnets. it starts, i can get the passwords, i can ssh into it, all is fine.

when i then "sudo" into the main "menu" on the cli and assign the interfaces, the host goes black. no connection at all is possible, on both interfaces. ping does not work.

am i doing something wrong here? why is that happening, and is there - maybe - an easier way to set up opnsense as a VPN gateway, maybe with one interface only?

thanks in advance!
