Has anyone configured a #FreeBSD workstation to connect to an #OpenVPN provider that uses webauth SAML?

I think OpenVPN version 3 needs to be used, but there's no openvpn3 in FreeBSD ports.

Error I'm getting from the standard OpenVPN client:

2026-05-05 00:15:04 AUTH: Received control message: AUTH_FAILED,This profile requires web based SAML authentication, please upgrade to a web-based login capable client (IV_SSO=webauth)

Has anyone successfully got this to work on FreeBSD or #HardenedBSD?

I'm trying to use #openvpn on #emacs. I just installed openvpn-mode from MELPA (https://github.com/anticomputer/ovpn-mode) but I can't get it to work.

I start a openvpn session. It asks for my desktop sudo pass (to run openvpn). If I type the right passwd it stalls - I need to C-g. If I type the wrong pass, it asks for it again. Then I type the correct pass and I connect to the VPN get the username/password prompt.

But, the minibuffer stays "opened" (5 lines) and it starts to behave strangely. It wont go away

Migration to step-ca certificates renewed by acme.sh client for OpenVPN done successfully. As I have remote only hosts without physical nor public access, the migration was risky.

I have spawned a cloud instance, configured an OpenVPN server with the same configuration as the one I already have. Then, I migrated client by client. Then I have reconfigured the original server. Then, I have updated the remote server on all clients to rebuild the original private network. Finally, I have deleted the cloud instance.

Somehow this is strange. On this ferry, wifi access should be gone for a long time. Still my hotspot-bridge allows acces for our five devices... and free use does not stop. Even though all 5 devices "inside" are being asked to "please register". Weird. ATM this is saving us 50€, I guess. I think when we leave the boat I will tell the crew "thank you". Unsure if this is a feature or a bug or a security incident oder if I am only doing weird things.... am I?

Certbot doesn't define CN by default which is required by pgBackRest and OpenVPN as of today. I tried to use a CSR but Certbot doesn't automatically renew those certificates making certbot pointless. I'm now using acme.sh and it just works https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh
