Anyone have a solution? Same issue here... Want to monitor my VPN tunnel (FreeBSD/pfSense service).

The only things I found are:

Incoming network traffic on enc0: net.if.in[enc0]
Outgoing network traffic on enc0: net.if.out[enc0]

I have two tunnels, and this interface responses to both. But not display the tunnels statuses.

Not really a Zabbix solution, but in pfSense I found a package called "Service_Watchdog". This tool monitors services (also OpenVPN service) and restarts them if necessary.
So instead of Zabbix giving me a notification when OpenVPN service fails, pfSense will restart the OpenVPN itself.

Bandwidth monitoring is just what eidvictor did.

We have exactly the same situation here. So, i create some scripts and templates for that. You can check out here: https://github.com/alanwds/zabbix_ipsec_pfsense. I hope that work for you.
