Unable to get LAN to LAN OpenVPN working

[GLR]

Hello all,

I am trying to setup a LAN to LAN OpenVPN connection between two sites now both running OPNsense on APU appliances.
(It worked previously with pfS*nse installations but with slightly different configurations).

I set as well RAS OpenVPN instances which are working fine.
Regarding the LAN to LAN instance, I am not able to get it working, nor troubleshoot it from the logs. Apparently, the connection doesn't succeed but I don't see any error no problem in the logs.
That's why I am asking for help to troubleshoot and hopefully fix it.
I tried various settings: both peer to peer preshared key and TLS with or without TLS authentication and various cyphers. I also tried both client/server ways.

See the resulting configurations below:

(This client OPNsense is connected behind a router with NAT and an interco subnet in private addressing 172.31.0.x.)

Hold on, I found the mistake: bad certificate selected on client side !

It is indeed fixed.

Additional note: do not forget to add the iroute statement in a client specific configuration entry to route within OpenVPN the subnet from client side...
