I have been working this for a while now and the following .ovpn file is the closest I've come to getting things to connect. My vpn server connects desktop clients just fine. I ran into trouble when I tried to configure OpenVPN Connect on Android. It is supposed to be a simple username/password authentication to a local server. The purpose of all this is to understand OpenVPN more and not for production use.
When I attempt to connect i get a timeout. logs just show that it is attempting to connet to the server ip. I can ping the server just fine from the Android device and I can even get the vpn to work on my desktop.
Is there a way to use the same configuration used by the desktop on my Android?
What is wrong with my configuration that I am overlooking?
