Can't connect to VPN

cweinhofer

Sorry if this is a real beginner question, but I wasn't sure who to ask.

I recently set up an OpenVPN server using a DD-WRT based router. Everything seemed to be good, but I don't think I am connecting to it correctly. I can access the router via it's web interface; but when I try to connect the VPN, it doesn't work (it was hard to tell, but I verified that my IP address was not from the location of the router). The icon also shows two yellow screens which I assume is another hint.

Here is the log in case someone can help me know what is not setup correctly (I tried initiating the connection a few times). Thanks for your help.

TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

shows that your router is not accesible. Look in the correct configuration of the router. DD-WRT usually opens the VPN port incomminc, when activating OpnVPN. To be sure, use "iptables -L -v". For now, your router by IP from the log is not accesible by anymeaning.

Hello, hope I don't come off as high jacking this thread... but I am having the same exact issue and have been unable to find a solution by searching the forums. I set up my VPN on my router as the server and the client software on my computer. I was able to successfully connect for about a month and then it randomly was unable too. I restarted router, checked everything. I even changed the port from 1194 on both client and server to 443 and still had issues.

I ran the iptables command and this is what prints out.
