I downloaded and installed openpvn on my centos 5.6 server and everything worked fine. After rebooting the server today openvpn doesn't work anymore. I cant even get to the admin page anymore. Is there a service that needs to be started? I've been searching on the web for a document but have had no luck. Thanks in advance.

Is it OpenVPN community or OpenVPN AS?
Check system logs for start up errors and warnings.

Re: openvpn stops working after a server reboot
Same issue. Testing the VMware Appliance before I make the move to the Hyper-V when the server gets delivered. After a reboot I can't access the admin page, and performing http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-ser ... nt-ui.html works, but I have to setup everything again

Re: openvpn stops working after a server reboot
Checked my logs, was failing because of a syntax issue on the company logo I used to rebrand the user Web interface. Odd that it would cause the service to die. Anyway, check the log....it helped me

Re: openvpn stops working after a server reboot
If you are using a two NIC configuration make sure you only have a gateway assigned to the public IP address. If there is a gateway address on both the public and private NIC's it causes problems.

Re: openvpn stops working after a server reboot
Do this: follow these directions, and for #6 (if you don't already have it installed.... then install it... If you DO have it installed, just reboot the server to simulate the installation)
