Description

Page: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/openvpn-s2s-tls.html

Feedback: The tunnel network in the sample config should be set to a /30 network, not a /24 as this might lead to unexpected routing issues.

Remark: Not to be mistaken by the "net30" topology option

No, it should not. The recipe is correct. Using /30 tunnel networks is incorrect for a multi-site setup like the recipe shows.

Furthermore, using a /30 network triggers OpenVPN to use its p2p topology internally which is a code path that has a lot of problems, especially with DCO. Between that and shared key being deprecated, we'll eventually be moving all our examples to using a subnet topology with larger tunnel networks.
