Hello all!
I'm new to setting up Open VPN servers and the like and I've recently encountered a problem that I can't seem to fix. I am trying to run this server in a virtual machine. I have disabled its firewall, and set the network adapter to Bridged Networking (Using VMware). The computer that the virtual machine is running on has its firewall disabled, and I've forwarded UTC 1193 on the router (an air port extreme). Router connects to internet using PPPoE.
Since this is the first time I've tried to set this up, I used an install script:
https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install
When I run the server with openvpn server.conf it gives this output:
root@kali:/etc/openvpn# openvpn server.conf

However, when I try and connect using a .ovpn file on a client (I tried on an iOS device and a mac), it can never connect and times out after 1 minute of trying.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!! 😃
