Redmine pfSense - Bug #6405 (Not a Bug): OpenVPN Server fails to start at boot when listening on v6https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/64052016-05-26T06:23:55ZChris Maltonchris.malton@cmtechserv.co.uk
<p>On the latest update (2.3.1_1 - and also occurred on 2.3), when OpenVPN is set to listen on v6 only, it fails to start at boot with the error</p>
<p>May 26 10:55:15 gw-lon-gs2 openvpn<sup><a href="#fn12179">12179</a></sup>: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [AF_INET6]xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::xxxx:yyyyy: Can't assign requested address</p>
<p>This appears to be because the IPv6 addresses haven't yet been assigned to the interfaces. If I then manually start the OpenVPN servers after the system has finished booting, it "just works" and I don't have to do anything special.</p>
<p>Hardware platform: amd64 (KVM Virtual Machine) using e1000 network cards</p>
