So here we go again. OPNSense decided to remove the Advanced section from the new version of the OpenVPN instance. Their excuse? “Security reasons.”

Let’s be honest—this is pure bullshit. That “Advanced” section was exactly where power users like me could fine-tune and push OpenVPN beyond the cookie-cutter defaults. Stripping it out doesn’t magically make anything safer. If anything, it just dumbs down the software and cripples flexibility for people who actually know what they’re doing.
