Whitey436 I type: netstat -ltnup and all I get is the active ssh server listening no other entries show. I am using TCP on 1194, for the moment because I have yet to get this setup working, I started with trying to telnet to the server and got to the point that there is nothing listening on 1194. Also not sure it matters but I am running this as a VM with Ubuntu. I can connect to the ssh server no problem. Server.conf: dev tun proto tcp port 1194 ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/ca.crt cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.crt key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.key dh /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/dh1024.pem tls-auth ta.key 0 cipher AES-256-CBC user nobody group nogroup server 10.3.0.0 255.255.255.0 persist-key persist-tun cipher AES-256-CBC client-to-client push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.x.y" push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220"
Whitey436 Its amazing how well OpenVPN works when it is actually running! I was doing the /etc/init.d/openvpn start command How does that differ from the one you provided, which solved it? FYI: I am new to Linux if it isnt obvious! Thanks, Keith
