Hello,
I've just setup OpenVPN service on my server, created necessary certificates and related files and imported them onto my OpenVPN app on my iPad. I've opened the required ports on my firewall. When trying to connect through my dynamic DNS service it times out. Taking a look at the logs on the iPad reveals:
...
LZO-ASYM init swap=0 asym=0
EVENT: RESOLVE
Contacting 216.146.35.97:xxxx via UDP
EVENT: WAIT
Connecting to xxx.xxxx.xxx:xxxx (216.146.35.97) via UDPv4
EVENT: CONNECTION_TIMEOUT [ERR]
...
I am assuming that 216.146.35.97 should be my IP address (of my domain), but its not. It doesn't match the IP that corresponds to my domain name. When I perform a nslookup of my domain name it returns the correct IP address of my WAN interface. So why is OpenVPN trying to connect to this other IP address?
My firewall has not logged any blocked attempts from the port number for OpenVPN, so it seems that is getting through.
Thanks for any assistance.
