OpenVPN & LACP?

[Pandamonium]

Hi All,

I'm trying to setup OpenVPN within a jail to connect to my VPN external service. I've done this several times before following https://www.reddit.com/r/freenas/comments/41fhz3/configuration_guide_for_openvpn_and_ipfw_so_that/ with no problems in the past, but now I can't get it to work no matter what I try.

It seems to be trying but it seems to reject my login credentials (which I have tested are still correct and active) with the following...

Code:

AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED

In searching for the solution I've come across some posts that suggest OpenVPN needs to be setup differently if using bridging. I don't know if this might point to my problem as the only difference between this and every other time I have tried it is that I have setup LACP link aggregation on my Freenas box this time.

Could the link aggregation be the cause of my issues here, and if so, what can I do to resolve this please? I've only been able to setup LACP following numerous articles so I'm not very clued up on this.

Many Thanks

Paul

Ok, So it doesn't look like LACP is NOT my issue as today I removed LACP and OpenVPN still doesn't work.

More investigation needed.

Cheers
