Hi, I have a setting in my server.conf [code]local ww.xx.yy.zz[/code] that is an IP address of my WAN interface. OpenVPN fails to start with the following message in log [code]RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: ww.xx.yy.zz: [HOST_NOT_FOUND] The specified host is unknown.[/code] Why does it even try to resolve that?

OpenVPN is trying to resolve ip address and fails.

Hi,

I have a setting in my server.conf

local ww.xx.yy.zz

that is an IP address of my WAN interface.

OpenVPN fails to start with the following message in log

RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: ww.xx.yy.zz: [HOST_NOT_FOUND] The specified host is unknown.

Why does it even try to resolve that?

Seems like dots between IP address parts have weird character codes, probably due to non-US keyboard layout used while ssh.

I have re-typed the address in US layout and now it works.
