I'm not sure I have a problem yet or not. I have installed the community openvpn on a CentOS 6 linode. I have been trying to find the management interface and have been unable to.
Have never used openvpn before, I've watched many tutorials, some with the interface and some without yet none of the users make any distinction which version of openvpn they are running. So my questions are as follows.
1. Does the CE version have the management interface?
2. What are the differences between the AS adn CE version?
3. Can the AS version be installed on CentOS 6.2
Thanks.

CE version has management interface ,
did you define it?
management 0.0.0.0 7505
with this it binds to port 7505/tcp...
also what is the output of:
sestatus
iptables -L -v
regards
Michael.

No, I didn't define it. Thanks. Does this mean that the actual VPN can run on one port and the management interface can run on another? I initially assigned openvpn UDP on a 5XXXX+ port and although I assigned it a specific port in the config and iptables, at each start there would be two daemons running. One on the port I assigned and one on some random port with each restart.
I'll try this and see how many issues I can resolve. Much appreciated. Michael.

maikcat I tried what you recommended, but it has not worked. I am really stumped that OpenVPN is this difficult to get started. For some reason I've been able to get the SecurepointSSL client to connect within two minutes of installing it, but the openvpn client still will not connect.

iptables and netstat are reporting consistent data on the relevant ports and protocols, which match the config. SE is disabled. Thanks.

can you post configs/logs for both server/client?
Michael.
