http://forums.fedoraforum.org – 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. Where I am stuck is reading the options from the up / down scripts correctly by using foreing_option_x. And I don't see how to debug this... (echo maybe)?.... Here is the part where I see somethin (HowTos)

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

Installing OpenVPN in Amazon EC2? 40 weeks 19 hours ago

I'm trying to install openvpn in my amazon ec2 instance. I tried the following site for my setup.

In my client side I run the following command :

sudo openvpn --proto tcp-client --remote x.x.x.x.x.x.

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.

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.

Download the latest version of OpenVPN with OpenVPN GUI Copy the certs and config files into the config directory Connect

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

So I have a vpn service, and can connect manually via cli on my 12.04 server via (as root):

openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.conf --ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt --auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password.txt --redirect-gateway def1

I have my password and ca in /etc/openvpn as per the guides, works fine.

But, when I also set up the /etc/default/openvpn file with relevant details, I'm finding tha

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.

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 OpenVPN server installed in an Amazon instance with Windows Server 2008 R2, and there's my client.

First i connect to my VPN For some reason when i try to connect to my VPN server and RDP to it, the RDP's screen freezes after some seconds because the connection or tunnel is dropping after some seconds is established.

To set up tunnel first, i run this command: sudo openvpn client.conf

The Setup

I've gotten OpenVPN working on our Windows XP laptops. Users are limited, so I went ahead and set OpenVPN client to run as a service, which is great anyway because that means they are on the VPN before logging in, so login scripts work, plus we can do remote support even if the user can not log in (such as connecting via VNC or resetting passwords).
