Hi My name is Fredrik and my plan is to make a VPN from my parent 2 computers at address 1 into my servers at address 2. I have a router at address 2 which I have make a portforwarding in of port 1194 for my server. I have followed: Setting Up an OpenVPN Connection (Configuring Server & Client) in 2021 --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKfHwQgAsUo. I have did all so that the tunnnel should work. For testing I have make a client from my pc into server in the same network. The connection works but just in 17 seconds then the connection was termaninated and no connection until I disconnect it a connected again. My logs as follows: [code]Fri Feb 26 11:47:46 2021 OpenVPN 2.4.10 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [PKCS11] [AEAD] built on Dec 9 2020 Fri Feb 26 11:47:46 2021 Windows version 6.2 (Windows 8 or greater) 64bit Fri Feb 26 11:47:46 2021 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1i 8 Dec 2020, LZO 2.10 Enter Management Password: ................................................................................ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b][i][u]The last succeded connectio!
