I was trying to bind it to a local interface created for OpenVPN itself, to allow pfSense (as an OpenVPN client) to obtain IP itself from the remote OpenVPN server.

The interface is assigned to Network port "ovpnc3"

Since the port relies upon OpenVPN to obtain an IP, and OpenVPN refuses to allow me to configure anything without the port first having an IP, I'm stuck in a chicken-v-egg scenario.

Or maybe I'm setting up my OpenVPN client connections entirely wrong? But I did have it working previously, and have it working again since I commented out this validation in the PHP code, thereby allowing the parameters to be saved and the connection to be updated.
