Hello everyone, I want to say thank you in advance to anyone who can help me out on this issue. It's an odd one for me and everything I'm seeing online says I should be able to fix this easily but the options seem not to be there.

My problem is when I click on a VPN interface I had created in order to enable it, I get an error when I click the enable check mark followed by the save button. This error implies I have a DHCP server running on the VPN connection and to disable it before enabling the interface but I can't seem to find the interface listed under the ISC DHCPv4 list for me to enable/disable the server.... So I'm confused on how DHCP is enabled if the interface isn't showing in the DHCP list of interfaces....???

I'm guessing only enabled interfaces show under the DHCP list but since mine isn't enabled it's not showing so I can't modify it through the GUI? Or maybe I'm overthinking it and there is a simple answer I've missed in the forums somewhere?

I've attached screenshots of the error and my DHCPv4 listings and none of the listings are the VPN. I've blocked out some name info for security reasons.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!





UPDATE:
So someone private messaged me and told me to try a few things, one of those solutions was to simply delete the interface and re-add it so I did that and it worked. Not sure what the actual problem was but hopefully this solution helps others in the future.
