Description

I configured a LAGG Interface with 4 openvpn tap connections with round robin mode.

After a reboot or if i start the pfsense first time the interface is not working well.
But if i go to the configuration page and change nothing but press save its working great immediately.

does someone have i workaround how i could press the save button with a cron script until the problem is fixed ?

Regards
Alex

LAGG is not technically supported for OpenVPN. It may happen to work by coincidence, but it's not a configuration we encourage/endorse/support/etc.

There may be a way to improve this, but it isn't a priority.

What ? Really why is it possible to choose a openvpn interface in the lagg config if it is not supported ?

Who make the decision what is supported and what not, i think this is a open source project ?

I try to fix it by myself i think its only a timing problem or initalisation was broken or not done.

Does anybody have a hint how i find the php section in which the save button is located ?

i think i would spend now more time in this project and also help to integrate the softether part.

i think this is a good alternativ to openvpn laggs !!! whst's the status für the softether client implementation ?

    $input_errors[] = gettext("Error occurred creating interface, please retry.");

        $a_laggs[$id] = $lagg;
    } else {
        $a_laggs[] = $lagg;
    }
    write_config();

    $confif = convert_real_interface_to_friendly_interface_name($lagg['laggif']);
    if ($confif != "") {
        interface_configure($confif);
    }

    // reconfigure any VLANs with this lagg as their parent
    if (is_array($config['vlans']['vlan'])) {
        foreach ($config['vlans']['vlan'] as $vlan) {
            if ($vlan['if'] == $lagg['laggif']) {
                interface_vlan_configure($vlan);
                $confif = convert_real_interface_to_friendly_interface_name($vlan['vlanif']);
                if ($confif != "") {
                    interface_configure($confif);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

i installed the cron package and setting up this script to check every minute the state of the lagg0.

now after a reboot the lagg seem to be automaticly working and everything work fine !

so it looks like a timing or reconfiguring problem.

I have pppeo wan connections with openvpn tunnels tap on it.
