Hi,

I have noticed that under Firewall -> Rules section a new interface called OpenVPN have appeared out of nowhere. I don't have any type of VPN setup whatsoever so I'm kind of alarmed about it, especially that it contains automatically generated rules. I checked VPN section for any type of configuration for IPSec, OpenVPN and WireGuard to see if anything is set in there but as expected, nothing was set there. I also managed to find the following logs related to VPNs:

General Logs:
/usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: plugins_configure VPN (execute task : Wireguard_configure_do(,wan))
/usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: Resyncing OpenVPN instances for interface WAN
/usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: plugins_configure VPN (execute task : openvpn_configure_do(,wan))
/usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: plugins_configure VPN (execute task : ipsec_configure_do(,wan))
/usr/local/etc/rc.newwanip: plugins_configure VPN (,wan)


I'm not sure if they are normal logs or something unexpected and weird is happening with my OpenSense. I'm really puzzled why OpenVPN rules would appear in Firewall Rules out of nowhere if I don't have it setup in the first place.

Did anyone came across this or know why the said interface and rules are even there if OpenVPN is not setup ?

Thanks
