then you have no connection my friend....

possibly your client cant reach your server.

check your NAT rules on your internet router and its firewall (if any)

hello and good morning to greece:>))
yes, exactly, this is statement i get .. and i know that i have no connection,
thats my problem :roll:
but i am not sure if its a router topic or firewall,
but as told i disabled firewall on target pc and no connection too..
on the source location there is a fritzbox and on target side a speedport router.

[deleted]

just checked speedport near target pc..
portforwarding active
1194
5000
to target machine..
should be sufficient as i think?
thx for help...:>))

one question,

you are trying to connect to 5000/udp , do you forward udp/5000 to your openvpn server correct port/proto?

can you also post your server config and both sides logs?

Michael.

[deleted]

sure, both ports are forwarded to target pc... (server) computer b

computer b, windows 8.1

dev tun
ifconfig 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
secret key.txt
port 5000

that is the server config as i assume should be ok ?
according example in:

http://wiki.freifunk.net/OpenVPN_Howto#Firewall
see 3.5

not able to give logfile.. openvpn tells not able to write into logfile.

maikcat

are you running openvpn with admin rights at both sides?
