Guys,
I need your help as I have spent days on forums looking for a solution. I have set up a microserver running Ubuntu server with a small intranet running behind a standard broadband router. The problem is....when I connect via OpenVPN Connect it displays a working connection on the icon in my taskbar tray but nothing happens !! Nada...zippo..zilch..I can't access the internet (as I should) or access the intranet on the microserver on 192.168.xxxx or localhost despite OpenVPN Connect saying I have successfully connected.I can pay an agreed fee if somebody who is an expert can logon to my PC with teamviewer to fix this.
What I have done
1 Successfully installed openvpn access server
2 Opened/forwarded ports TCP 443 TCP 943 UDP 1194 on the broadband router
3 Variously opened and closed firewalls on the router, my laptop and the microserver to no effect
4 Set up dynamic update client on the microserver
5 Set up a noip domain serverx.ddns.net
Settings
1 I have added the server name in server network settings (but also the IP number of the public IP) where it says Hostname or IP address
2 I can log on via
https://serverx.ddns.net:443 and 943 with no problem
3 This settingwas added ..VPN Settings
Should client Internet traffic be routed through the VPN? Yes
Should clients be allowed to access network services on the VPN gateway IP address? Yes
4 This setting VPN Settings ..NAT routing
192.168.1.0/24
192.168.122.0/24
192.168.0.0/16
5 This setting in VPN Settings....
Have clients use the same DNS servers in VPN Settings (but I did experiment with putting 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.0.0 here before I changed it back as it didn't work)
6 Set up static IPs for the clients 192.168.x.x. after adding static IP address network 192.168.1.0/24 in VPN settings and adding an IP address in User settings
One interesting thing there is a connectivity function which I tried. It might be important..it came back with
Test Results for TCP
Result: Error
Explanation: Could not connect to the test server on the Internet.
IP Address Tested: (not found)
Reverse DNS result: (unknown)
Test Results for UDP
Result: Error
Explanation: Could not connect to the test server on the Internet.
IP Address Tested: (not found)
Reverse DNS result: (unknown)
I have read about routing and 'MASQUERADE' commands but this is beyond me at this stage
Please help! I can pay an agreed fee if somebody who is an expert can logon to my PC with teamviewer to fix this.
