Hi All, I've tried searching for a solution all over the place, I've recently relocated my openvpn server to a different office, different public and private IPs. I've changed the IP on server.conf file, I can connect to the vpn server, and i can access the office LAN network, but no public internet access, all the traffic stopped at the vpnserver, I have the redirect-gateway def1 in config and the NAT rule in place. It's really strange, that there's really nothing changed other than the vpn server LAN ip, and i don't know why it kept trying to bind to the old address. old vpn server ip: 192.168.2.2 network: 192.168.2.0/24 New VPN server IP: 192.168.12.10 network: 192.168.12.0/24 vpn netowrk: 10.8.0.0/24 And I'm seeing this error in the log [code]Jan 30 17:48:58 openvpn[4698]: TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [AF_INET]192.168.2.2:1194: Cannot assign requested address (errno=99)[/code] [oconf=Server conf] local 192.168.12.10 port 1194 proto udp4 dev tun ca ca.crt cert server.crt key server.key dh dh.pem auth SHA512 tls-crypt tc.key topology subnet server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8" push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4" keepalive 10 120 cipher AES-256-CBC user nobody group nogroup persist-key persist-tun status openvpn-status.log verb 3 crl-verify crl.pem explicit-exit-notify client-cert-not-required plugin /usr/local/lib/openvpn-auth-ldap.so /etc/openvpn/openvpn-auth-ldap.conf [/oconf] [oconf=Client config] client dev tun proto udp remote server_public_address 1194 resolv-retry infinite persist-key persist-tun nobind remote-cert-tls server auth SHA512 cipher AES-256-CBC verb 3 auth-user-pass auth-retry interact [/oconf]

Hi All,

I've tried searching for a solution all over the place, I've recently relocated my openvpn server to a different office, different public and private IPs. I've changed the IP on server.conf file, I can connect to the vpn server, and i can access the office LAN network, but no public internet access, all the traffic stopped at the vpnserver, I have the redirect-gateway def1 in config and the NAT rule in place. It's really strange, that there's really nothing changed other than the vpn server LAN ip, and i don't know why it kept trying to bind to the old address.

old vpn server ip: 192.168.2.2
network: 192.168.2.0/24

New VPN server IP: 192.168.12.10
network: 192.168.12.0/24

vpn netowrk: 10.8.0.0/24

And I'm seeing this error in the log

for what it's worth, i actually figure out my own problem there was a 2nd server.conf file under a subfolder in /etc/openvpn, and it had the old IP info in it, i don't know how it was working in the old office with 2 server.conf files, but after making sure there's only 1 server.conf file in the /etc/openvpn directory, restarted the openvpn server service, everything is good now.
