The other end in this case is my mobile phone, wherever that may be in the world.

Ahh I misunderstood.

So its so you have a VPN between your phone and home firewall?

Then yeah I probably dont have the answer you need, but I will see if I can find anything out for you.

That's a relief to know.  :)

I was originally getting myself in a convoluted muddle whilst thinking about things.

I've been trying to set up my VPN server again, so if I'm using my phone say on a hotels wireless I can connect via VPN to my home network and know my connection is secure.

I did have it working but having changed ISP it stopped working, so following the guide (https://chubbable.com/setup-openvpn-pfsense) I used last time I'm trying to set it all up again, but alas it's not working  :wall: :wall: :wall:

I'm currently getting this error notice after I use the wizard.

Code: [Select]
There were error(s) loading the rules: /tmp/rules.debug:190: unknown protocol udp4 - The line in question reads [190]: pass in quick on $VIRGINMEDIA reply-to ( em2 80.6.28.1 ) inet proto udp4 from any to <<removed my public ip address>> tracker 1525018272 keep state label &quot;USER_RULE: OpenVPN OpenVPN Connection wizard&quot;
Any idea's on what's going wrong???

I've actually managed to track down the problem, I disabled any rules for OpenVPN one at a time until the error went away when reloading the filter, that way I identified the rule causing the error.

One of the auto generated rules didn't have the protocol set, once I did that it all started working.

from what you posted it would seem to be a bug in pfsense if its the case auto generated rules are using invalid syntax..

It certainly seems that way, I may try and post on their forums,  but I'm certainly not going try and replicate it.

At one point I had four rules under OpenVPN as when you delete an OpenVPN server it doesn't delete associated rules, which I hadn't realised.

That was a bug in Pfsense, it's fixed in the next version.

Having  another minor problem. I swapped the patch cable from my router to the modem and I had to reboot Pfsense to get internet on other devices to work, although Pfsense reported the connection as up on the dashboard.

This also happened today when I upgraded to Vivid 350.

Any ideas why I loose internet on all attached devices until  a reboot?

pfsense can be problematic on things like that, its not completely fluid.

e.g. on a ipv6 prefix change it doesnt auto remove the old prefix leaving all ipv6 connectivity down until the old prefix is manually removed or a device reboot.

Tuning the timeout values in the WAN section may make it behave better.

its in the WAN settings screen where you set it to DHCP type, then you play around with DHCP timeout values, I have absolutely no idea tho what values might be better.

Thanks, found it now, it only shows any timing values once you click Advanced Configuration hence why I couldn't find it.

if you have a spare drive etc you could give Opnsense a go. Couple of forum members here use it. I had issues with BT and wan port not re-establishing ppoe but since moving that to Opnsense it's been fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, no spare drive at the moment, and too many other things that need doing - the wife's nagging me to get the decking built, which means I need to be designing that.

Same here really, I know you guys skyeci and marjohn56 have been bugging me on opnsense, but I just havent found the time to reconfigure my network yet which is what I need to do if I switch over.

I do now have a spare ssd for my old pfsense unit but forgot it needs ram, I plan to configure opnsense on that and then I can hot swap the devices when testing opnsense.

Anyone using OPNsense with igmpproxy for BT multicast IPTV? I have it set up fine with pfsense at the moment, but it would be nice to know before having a go with OPNsense, TIA.
