iPAD Air iOS 7.1.1 connection problems

murga

Hello,

I have an iPAD Air with iOS updated to 7.1.1.

I have a problem with the connection using OpenVpn 1.04.

It coonects with no problem , but I cannot connect to any IP for which this tunnel exists.

In the log I have an infinite loop that shows that it is constantly reconnecting:

2014-05-06 10:40:19 LZO-ASYM init swap=0 asym=0
2014-05-06 10:40:19 EVENT: ASSIGN_IP
2014-05-06 10:40:19 Connected via tun
2014-05-06 10:40:19 EVENT: CONNECTED
2014-05-06 10:41:19 Session invalidated: KEEPALIVE_TIMEOUT
2014-05-06 10:41:19 TUN teardown
2014-05-06 10:41:19 Client terminated, restarting in 2...
2014-05-06 10:41:21 EVENT: RECONNECTING
2014-05-06 10:41:21 LZO-ASYM init swap=0 asym=0
2014-05-06 10:41:21 Contacting ....

Does anybody have an idea what could be wrong?

It works perfectlu on windows OpenVpn client.

Cheers!

Usually openvpn wont start, if your configuation is syntax incorrect, but you are right. I will try it with udp, as soon as i find the time.

I have found the problem. Its working for me, when I remove the compression, i have to remove: "comp-lzo yes"

Manuel wrote --proto p

Use protocol p for communicating with remote host. p can be udp, tcp-client, or tcp-server.

Please allow me this comment. This is very confusing, cause udp is a network transport protocol, this is Ok, but tcp-client and tcp-server not, this are network roles, not protocols. And you are define the role of the configuration in the server/client configuration with "mode server" or "client", its, as i said before: confusing...

But thanks a lot for your help/input.

PS This configuration above - with comp-lzo yes - was working with iOS before 7.1.1.
