http://serverfault.com – I am trying to set up OpenVPN 2.2.1 on my CentOS 6.2 VPS. This is my first time setting up, and everything went smoothly. The service is running, and the client is able to connect. My intention is to forward all my traffic from the client, to my VPS, to the internet. However, I am met with a problem. When pinging the VPS IP, everything works fine. However, when pinging ANY other IP/name server on the internet, it refuses to connect. I have spent the past 5 hours reading threads and looking for solutions, but none of them applied to me. The nature of the problem has led me to believe that it (HowTos)

I'm having trouble setting up a private VPN to route all traffic from my clients through my VPS linux box in another country. I'm able to connect successfully and ping the internal IP of the VPN, but my client's Internet traffic still goes out through its local ISP (i.e.

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 have a problem with OpenVPN. I've successfully managed to setup an OpenVPN server on my router which is running TomatoUSB.

I then followed the following steps on 1 client computer.

On the client I tested the remote-gateway was being pushed correctly.

I have an OpenVPN server and I can connect to it just fine but I can not communicate with any other hosts on the network including the server. I can't ping from the server to an OpenVPN client, I can't ping from an OpenVPN client to the OpenVPN server, I can't ping from OpenVPN client to OpenVPN client or from OpenVPN client to normal LAN host and vise-versa.

confused with openvpn 3 weeks 3 days ago

I have already posted a different question regarding a problem i have with openvpn but i think i realized i am a bit confused.

I have a LAN which consist of one server (centos) that is running apache and openvpn server and another PBX-VoIP server.

I have a windows7 that uses openvpn.I want to connect my win7 to internet through openvpn tunnel.my openvpn server is on ubuntu and i can connect to internet from ubuntu's eth0 with bridging it to host NIC.I googled but no success is achieved. when win7 connected to vpn, an ip address such 10.10.0.2 is assigned to it. i want to do this work such that i can test traffic shaping settings for win7 cl

Ok, I am frustrated with how much time I has spent trying to figure out OpenVpn and DCHP / DNS configurations...

So far I can only connect vpn to work BY MANUALLY setting ip and dns (@resolv.conf). But with this setup I can't remote into my pc. I can ping my pc name, but not pcName.domainAddress which I find strange.

I can connect OK from Windows with almost the same client config file.

I just started using Ubuntu 10.04 and I do really like it !!

I'm facing a problem when I establish VPN connections using OpenVPN to Your Freedom Server. " you can see their documentation here ", I've installed OpenVPN from synaptic and I used the client to connect through VPN and it works !!

Hello All,

I use OpenVPN for work. I really need it and I can't live with not using Ubuntu.

So I set out to make it work. I naturally started with just OpenVPN... the CLI client.
