Cannot resolve host address issue

natiya

Hi there,

I'm trying to connect to the OpenVPN server but I can't do it. i had a look at the logs and saw these errors:

RESOLVE: Cannot resolve host address: myServer: No such host is known

I haven't changed anything in the OpenVPN Client configuration. The way I connect is right-click on the icon, select the name of the server, select on "connect as mysuser"...
However, if I right-click on the icon, select "Connect", write "myServer" in the hostname of the server, write my user and password and I get a pop up saying DNS lookup failed. However, there is nothing new in the log and I have the feeling I don't remember the password (in the other option, the password is already stored).

So I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is some configuration in my PC that can be messing everything around.

Thank you!

I found out I was writing the url wrong. It's working now 🙂
