CARP Persistent maintenance mode

I have configured "virtulas IPs" with CARP on OPNsense,
I disabled CARP by setting "Persistent maintenance mode"

I expected the IPs to stay inactive, but this failed:

On Reboot or link up of an interface the CARP IPs become "MASTER".

root@opnsense:~ # ifconfig vtnet1
vtnet1: flags=8963<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        description: VLAN1 (opt3)

I have 2 OpenVPN Server and 1 OpenVPN client configured but all are disabled and not runnig.


My Problem:
How can I disable all CARP IPs until the opnsense configuration is completed?



Remove them or diasble carp (does not survive reboot)
