OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s

[g_bloggs]

Thanks for the help. I've done the auth.txt creation, added the line to the bottom of my client.conf. Both files live in /etc/openvpn
root@osmini:/etc/openvpn# ls -l
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49 Aug 27 16:44 auth.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5508 Aug 27 16:47 client.conf
The openvpn process starts, but the networking fails. If i press blue to Show Log its empty. Where would the logs be?

The client.conf contains ca, cert and private key sections. Is that ok?

i.e.
...
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<cert>

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...

In the client.conf at the top or under the user pass line add

log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log

Next time you start vpn see if it generates a log file in etc/openvpn.

Update.

UPDATE.

I used the command line to run openvpn and see the output. Eveything appears to work ok, so it seems that the remote location I was hoping to connect to has an issue with me using the vpn. Will contact them for advice.

Thanks very much again for your help and knowledge share

If using virgin I had to use Google dns to get vpn working as soon as I started openvpn I lost network connection. See here https://www.world-of-satellite.com/...n-Virgin-Hub-3&p=462711&viewfull=1#post462711

Anyone know how to add automatically the line "block-outside-dns" in to all .conf files with every change of the server?

Hi, trying to set this up on xtrend et8000 with a digibit account. Script runs but can't get the VPN to work. The only files in each server folder is the auth.txt and the xxx_server_xxx.config files, should there not be more?

Any help appreciated

No that should be it. Check username and password in auth.txt to see if there correct.

Thanks

At the top of the changer app it always says

“Country:?ip:no ip data found!”

Username and password correct, are they meant to be on the same line?

Is there a way to test the ip?

Use notepad ++ to read the file.

You can download ip checker from plugins green to download plugins then extensions and choose ip checker. Reboot box and turn VPN off run ip checker then start vpn and check ip checker again.

What isp are you using? Try running network test with and without vpn.

Vermin isp

Network is fine when vpn is off , ip is as it should be.

Ip checker doesn’t find an ip when vpn is on.

Network test

LAN connection green

Local green

DHCP green

Ip red “unconfirmed”

Nameserver red “unconfirmed”

I’m thinking it’s to do with my isp

Set Google dns

Turn VPN off

In network menu run network wizard turn dhpc to no

Set

Nameserver 1: 8.8.8.8
Nameserver 2: 8.8.4.4

Save then turn vpn on and run network test again.

Probably by modifying step 3 Google add new line in script. Try adding to 1 file then modify command in step 3

Sorry, this link

It should be working but for some reason site is down along with my other sites. Looks like a hosting issue I've reported it and hopefully they'll fix it. Thanks for reporting.

You can still use the method on post 5 https://www.world-of-satellite.com/...for-most-VPN-s&p=467100&viewfull=1#post467100

Should be back up and running now. It was a USA cpanel server going down.

If you have a link to all there configs in 1 zip file yes I can add it. But looking at there site I can't find any links to 1 zip file it looks like you need to manually generate separate config files.

 

[wambam]

Yep you are correct @dsayers
Will have a read and see how far i can get.
thanks
