Client cant connect after update

turmoil

Hello - I am having the same issue exactly, using OpenVPN 1.8.3 on Ubuntu Server 10.04 x64.
I downloaded the Windows client from the appliance but am getting the same error.
I have confirmed the custom TCP port I am using is accessible remotely (I can access the web interface on the same port).

This is my client's log:

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Please, post the content of 'C:/DOCUME~1/ADMINI~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/ovpn.~installer/client.ovpn'
It seems that new downloaded client.ovpn has inccorect remote IP, presumable of local internal IP of the server.

turmoil

Thank you for your response!

My "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\ovpn.~installer" directory is empty.
I too noticed it was specifying the server's internal IP, but because I was prompted for credentials I thought this was normal (I know nothing about OpenVPN).

The client PC had another version of the OpenVPN client called "OpenVPN Client", but it's been uninstalled. Could that cause any issue?

Thanks.

Mimiko

You will have to tamper with OpenVPN AS server and change external IP that is send to clients.

turmoil

Thank you, but where do I do that? I use the web interface.

Where is the server's configuration file stored? I will upload that as well so that you can see the config.

Thanks again for your help.

Mimiko

Browse to Server Network Settings and in field Hostname or IP Address input the external IP of your OpenVPN AS server. Then redownload the client.

Another thing I would like to point out which may shed some more light into my config is the fact my server is behind a NATting router.

Here's my as.conf file:

Thank you!

I changed the IP, applied the configuration and redownloaded the client.

Now although I am still unable to connect, this time I am getting a different error:

Error running jsondialog

Try a fresh reinstall of client. Uninstall it, clean the system and reinstall. Also study more for options that you can configure from OpenVPN AS web page.

I successfully logged in using a clean install of a Win 7 x64 machine and it all worked beautifully.
I would still like to know why the XP client machine I used in the above post keeps failing with that jsondialog error - just to know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

Could you disable DEP protection? Set it only for esential windows services.

Hello all,

Does anyone know the solution for the jsondialog error?

I think many people would appreciate it!
THanks!
