OpenVPN Support Forum

I know that the OpenVPN configuration can be found on locations such as "/etc/openvpn", but I am interested in finding the configuration which is being used at runtime.

Motivation
I am trying to configure OpenVPN management interface in pfSense. Even after appending "management 127.0.0.1 7505" in the OpenVPN configuration file, OpenVPN is binding to UNIX socket and not a TCP port. I want to dig down why this is happening. I wrote a similar post on netgate forum.

Hello TinCanTech,

Do you mean I should check runtime configuration of pfsense?

I mean: Openvpn is a free open source product used by many third party companies, who sell you a product (in this case pfsense) and then make you pay for support. We don't support pfsense here because we don't know how they use openvpn.

So, your options are, ask pfsense or hire somebody with knowledge of pfsense.

If you have nowhere else to turn then I am available for hire
