[ubuntu] OpenVPN suddenly stops working

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. After everything came back online my openvpn server failed to start. This is the /var/log/openvpn.log Code: Sun Sep 30 19:47:53 2012 OpenVPN 2.1.0 i686-pc-linux-gnu [SSL] [LZO2] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH] [PF_INET6] [eurephia] built on Jul 12 2010 Sun Sep 30 19:47:53 2012 NOTE: the current --script-security setting may allow this configuration to call user-defined scripts (Hardware)

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.

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

Setting up openvpn on ubuntu 18 weeks 2 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.

AUTH FAILURE openVPN 10 weeks 4 days ago

OS: CentOS 5 32bit. Problem: Giving me Auth failure error, yet my info is correct (I logged in on my Computer + laptop to test).

What is it giving me:

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.

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

Hello! I've install openvpn sudo apt-get install openvpn after that I take my configs from windows demi@demi-desktop:~/vpn.server.com$ openvpn --config vpn.server.com.ovpn and I got next log:
