linux-howto

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have setup OpenVPN. The server is a router running DD-WRT with OpenVPN setup. The client is Ubuntu 12.04. The connection is established without issues. I can ping clients at the VPN side. The problem is every 5-10min (seems slightly variant) the following occurs on the Ubuntu Client: Fri Jan 18 17:01:45 2013 OpenVPN 2.2.1 x86_64-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [eurephia] [MH] [PF_INET6] [IPv6 payload 20110424-2 (2.2RC2)] built on Mar 30 2012 Fri Jan 18 17:01:45 2013 NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables Fri Jan 18 (HowTos)

Setting up openvpn on ubuntu 17 weeks 5 days ago

I have a webmin running openvpn with which I generated my client keys and the server key. On the windows side I used windows openvpn client to connect to the vpn.

I have setup a VPN server on my Ec2 instance successfully and can see ifconfig tun0. The port 1194 is also free.

However my client can't access the server. I have already created the certificates. Somehow the handshake fails and i dont understand why.

On the server log, I can see the incoming call from my client.

OpenVPN refuses to start up and exists with this error ever since i upgraded Ubuntu from 1.04 to 11.10

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a OpenVZ VPS with TUN/TAP enabled. Months ago I succesfully configured a openvpn server on my VPS. Two days ago there was a power outage on my host's data center which resulted in downtime.

So I've tried to setup openvpn, I followed some guide but it's stuck att "initialization sequence completed" with no connection and I can't find any working solution... here's the log:

My configuration of openvpn looks clean, but it's not working.

I recently setup a cheap VPS for the sole intention of using it as a VPN server so I can access geo restricted content.

I used a script to setup OpenVPN server on the VPS and retrieved the keys for use on my client Win 7 OpenVPN.

On my Win 7 client, I can connect to the VPN, but I can't use the internet.

I'm a novice when it comes to networking and my needs are quite basic.

Here's my log from

I am using ubuntu 12.04 to connect an openvpn server.

Two scripts update-resolv-conf and vpn-up.sh in /etc/openvpn should be executed then the connection established.

The commands following added to the configure file client.ovpn to make the two scripts run when openvpn connects and stop when openvpn disconnects:

script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf up /etc/openvpn/vpn-up.sh dow
