hi
I just installed an openvpn server on an Ubuntu server. and I just connected fine to the server and start surfing with a windows client.
but the problem is I cant use it on linux (ubuntu in my case)
it connects fine to server and every thing is done without errors.
but when I come to start surfing, it gives me nothing!
So, because of the workin fine stuff on windows clients, my idea is its a routing problem on the linux client side where the openvpn server pushes the routing parameters. So here is my server.conf openvpn configuration file:
dev tun
proto tcp
# Notice: here we set the listening port to be 8090
port 8090
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/server.key # This file should be kept secret
dh /etc/openvpn/dh1024.pem
user nobody
group nogroup
[color=#BF4040]server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0[/color]
persist-key
persist-tun
status /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log
log-append /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log
#verb 3
client-to-client
# push "redirect-gateway def1"
[color=#BF4040]push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"[/color]
#Note that the following two IPs are public DNS IPs
#If you have problem in data transfer after VPN is connected, maybe your ISP has blocked them
#In that case you need to change them to other public DNS IPs
[color=#BF4000]push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"[/color]
# push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.220"
comp-lzo
besides, I use dnsmasq for dns redirectin and that's why I used
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"
I'm telling you again, it's ok on windows clients
and here's my ubutu networking stuffs that are set after the connection with openvpn server
(consider my server's ip is 178.178.178.178 and 11.11.0.3 is another lan network on my eth0 interface and does not make scence on the progress)
$ ip route sh
