Hello, this is my first openvpn setup. I picked myself a tutorial and followed the steps after reading up on the basics. So here is what i tried to setup. I´m running a server in a NL datacentre. Due to the fact that i need to login securely to from various locations i decided to use openvpn. My server is running a debian 64 bit. After starting the openvpn I simply could not log in from a windows client ( using openvpn GUI ). So i decided to enable verbose output on the server which shows me the following: [list] Wed Jun 22 12:05:21 2011 us=355867 Current Parameter Settings: Wed Jun 22 12:05:21 2011 us=355940 config =

Hello,
this is my first openvpn setup. I picked myself a tutorial and followed the steps after reading up on the basics. So here is what i tried to setup. I´m running a server in a NL datacentre. Due to the fact that i need to login securely to from various locations i decided to use openvpn. My server is running a debian 64 bit.
After starting the openvpn I simply could not log in from a windows client ( using openvpn GUI ). So i decided to enable verbose output on the server which shows me the following:

I also documented what i did to setup my openvpn so here is the history of my install:

1.) install openvpn:

apt-get install openvpn

2.) create certs:

cd /usr/lib/ssl

openssl genrsa -aes256 -out private/vpn-cakey.pem 2048
-> password mysecretpass

openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key private/vpn-cakey.pem -out vpn-ca.pem -set_serial 1
-> password mysecretpass

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -out certs/servercsr.pem -nodes -keyout private/serverkey.pem -days 3650
-> password mysecretpass

openssl x509 -req -in certs/servercsr.pem -out certs/servercert.pem -CA vpn-ca.pem -CAkey private/vpn-cakey.pem -CAserial /usr/lib/ssl/serial -days 3650
-> password mysecretpass

3.) creating client cert

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -out certs/lukas_wenning_csr.pem -nodes -keyout private/lukas_wenning_key.pem -days 3650

openssl x509 -req -in certs/lukas_wenning_csr.pem -out certs/lukas_wenning_cert.pem -CA vpn-ca.pem -CAkey private/vpn-cakey.pem -CAserial /usr/lib/ssl/serial -days 3650
-> password mysecretpass

rm certs/lukas_wenning_csr.pem

4.) creating a Diffie-Hellmann parameter

openssl dhparam -out dh1024.pem 1024

5.) copying certs / params to destination directories

cd /etc/openvpn
mkdir certs
cp /usr/lib/ssl/dh1024.pem ./certs/
cp /usr/lib/ssl/vpn-ca.pem ./certs/
cp /usr/lib/ssl/certs/servercert.pem ./certs/
cp /usr/lib/ssl/private/serverkey.pem ./certs/
chmod 0600 certs/serverkey.pem

8.) copy client certs to config folder of openvpn client

Thank you very much for anybody who might have a clue or hint what i did wrong 😉

janjust

the server is receiving a packet from the client, and afterwards hears nothing, until the cilent seems to reconnect.
change the client config to use 'verb 5', reconnect it and post the client log.
most likely the client is rejecting the server cert for some reason.

Any particular reason why you created the client and server certs using plain openssl commands? they're tricky to get right, and openvpn comes with the handy 'easy-rsa' scripts to build a CA, server cert and client cert for you.

Is the /CN= name of the server cert really 'server' ?

why did you use

ifconfig 10.0.0.1 10.0.02
ifconfig-pool 10.0.0.4 10.0.0.251

?
it would be cleaner to use

server 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

which has (almost) the same effect.

syn4pse

hello,

thanks for that quick response!.

no i did not have any reason to create them command libe based 😉 did not know of easy-rsa, but after readin up on it it really looks sexey 😉.
- I just used it to create new certificates
- changed settings for the client now aswell. c
- hanged the ifconfig to the server like you said.
- and set the /CN= Name to rapidspeeds.com

When connecting now I get another error message stating that the certificate is not valid yet. If I take it right my problem is that I still did something wrong with creating the certs? Any Idea what it could bee ? Both System times are the same

the validity of the certificate is checked using UTC time - that is, if you've created the certificate on a PC with the UTC clock set wrongly then the server will not recognize the certificate until *after* it has become valid. You can check the validity dates of a certificate using

openssl x509 -dates -subject -noout -in certificate.pem

thank you very much waiting one hour solved it

Excellent, closing topic

so here is my next problem: the routes i take it. I can to the vpn with openvpn gui fine. but I´m not able to ping the server ( which should have 10.0.0.1 ). after entering "ipconfig" in my cmd.exe i realised that my adapter on the client got
the ip: 10.0.0.6
the netmask 255.255.255.252
but no gateway shows up.

I want to use the vpn as my default gateway on the client.

here is my server.conf:

hi there,

remove this
>push "route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.255.255.255 10.0.0.1"

from your server config,restart service and try again

Michael.
