Connectivity test error

nem2k

I just install ovpn-as in a virtual machine and the connectivity test consistently fails no matter what I try. I'm wondering whether my settings are off somewhere.

Details:

- ovpn-as installed in a ubuntu server VM
- apache (set up as a reverse proxy) is also set up within the same VM. port 80 requests are redirected to 443, and SSL is being used.
- internal ip of this VM is 192.168.187.9
- I have a domain name that points to the public IP of my router
- I can access the admin page with https://192.168.187.9:943/admin
- Within the admin page:
-- hostname is set to domain.com. I tried my public IP here as well and it didnt help.
-- multidaemon mode enabled. tcp and udp ports set to 1194 (router port forwarding set up to forward tcp/udp1194 to 192.168.187.9)
-- vpn server and admin gui both use the eth0 interface (192.168.187.9)
-- I added my SSL cert/keys etc to the web server config page.
-- everything else is left default
- router firewall was turned off as a test and it didn't help the issue. I dont believe software firewall is running on ubuntu
- I've been trying to get reverse proxy working for the admin page but no joy. Not sure if this is a related issue or not (I doubt it), but here is my support thread for that as well in case it helps: https://forums.openvpn.net/topic20420.html

Am I missing something here? I can't seem to figure out why the connectivity test keeps failing

Hostname is not domain name. Two different things.

It should be the name of the host you're using externally. So......openvpn.domain.com? You say you have a domain name that points to your IP of your router. Do you mean you've added an DNS record for something that points to your router IP?

For example, web browsing to domain.com is actually browsing to www (CName).domain.com which points to an IP that goes somewhere.

And I'd leave TCP as port 443, that'll work over just about any connection
