Cant connect on iOS APP but it works with my Macbook

Post by antrisch » Wed Mar 15, 2017 9:19 am

Hi I have now read the HOW-To, the Wiki, various support sites etc and I'm stuck... :!: so if some one can help me it would be highly appreciated. :D

As already mention in the subject i mention it works fine on the mac :D but not the iphone or ipad :x

Background info:
I have a Nas server / QNAP which i have used the preinstalled openvpn server on, and created a openvpn.ovpn file and a ca.crt file
these files i downloaded to the mac and installed in Tunnelblick on my macbook, opened the UD port 1194 router and forwarded all udp 1194 traffic to the Qnap Nat IP, did a first test!!! e.g. tried to connect and it works fine from start :D

Problem/issue:
I get connection timeout on my Iphone and Ipad, which are running iOS 10,
i have installed the same files openvpn.ovpn file and a ca.crt via Itunes and the app accept thees but when i try to connect it won't work... it says connection time out, i can't understand why?

please see App logg below from ipad... any input or help is appreciated!!!

What does your server log have regarding your connection attempt ?

(Something about shared ciphers .. )

Hi i have now tried to find the openvpn server log in my Qnap.

No luck started to look in /var/log/....

and found these files and the did not say much...
/var/log/
openvpn-status.log
openvpn_disconnect.log
openvpn_online_user.log

i alos went in to the server.conf and changed this row from

#log /tmp/openvpn.log

to

log /tmp/openvpn.log

but no logg files appears, and when I'm restarting the openvpn server from the Qnap menu it rewrites the server.conf

can i run it in a debug mode if so how?

I looked on above files via ssh to the Qnap-server (used the terminal on my mac)

Can you run your openvpn server from the ssh shell ?

I had the same issue (see: viewtopic.php?t=23096) and was able to resolve it.

I was able to fix this by changing the transport protocol on the VPN server from UDP to TCP, and then modifying the openvpn config file to "proto tcp" instead of "proto udp".

hi, were you able to resolve this issue?

having the same problem with my QNAP as well and Iphone.
Works no problem on remote desktop/laptop.

I've tried changing UDP to TCP and did not work for me.
