Setting up pfsense for Sonic's OpenVPN

I'm trying to get the openvpn set up on a pfsense router and can't seem to get the configuration right. The openvpn connection is down, and the log says [UNDEF] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting. I don't think a connection is ever made. I have the openvpn set up for UDP on IPv4 to ovpn.sonic.net on port 1194. Any help would be much appreciated.

Follow this guide.

Here's the images of my working PFSense config. For the most part the ExpressVPN guide is right. I think my primary issue was the compression setting that Sonic had in the OVPN profile.

This totally worked. Thanks!!

I had to change my compression and auth digest settings and then it just worked. Appreciate your help.
