OpenVPN gets stuck at "connecting" state

dmelnyk

Hi Folks:

I am new to OpenVPN and am struggling to get the simple "Static Key Mini-HOWTO" version of a VPN running. I have forwarded port 1194 UPD to the VPNserver system and have checked that those ports are not blocked by the windows firewall on either system. I am trying to do this between two Windows XP Pro SP3 systems.

When I try and connect the following is from the log file:

<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

hi there,

please post configs and logs (verb 4 and above)

Michael.

Thanks for the reply..

here is the server.ovpn:

dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
secret static.key
route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

Here is the client.ovpn

remote vpntest-srv.dyndns.biz
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1
secret static.key
route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

This is just from the basic set up. There were no log files on the server side and the only log file on client side is in original post.

Just wondering, when I ran he client side initially it complained that there was no Tap-win32 adapter ... had to run Addtap.bat from bin file.

There was no complaint on the server side about this item missing, but just checked and appears no similar network adapter exists on server side ... could this be the problem? Thought the installation would have handled this automatically.

Best regards, Dave melnyk

hi there,

remove the route statement from both configs

add the necessary routes via shell...

write me your lans if you want to tell you what exactly to write.

didnt saw that..

maybe bug?

try 2.2.1 ver

Hi, have removed the routing lines from each. Same issue ... status: connecting ... log file same as initial one posted.

What would I need to do to route the lans: Each lan was set up on a d-link router initially so has a 192.168.0.x, 255.255.255.0 scheme.

is there a download link for version 2.2.1? And do I need to uninstall then reinstall?

Best regards, Dave Melnyk

>Hi, have removed the routing lines from each. Same issue ... status: connecting ... log file same as initial one posted.

insert a parameter named verb with value 4 and above (both configs)
post the output here..

you mean that *both* lans have 192.168.0.x network?

hmm

you must change one if you want lan-to-lan connectivity -period.

just uninstall the old and install the new...

Michael.

dmelnyk

reinstalled new version 2.2.1 - installed tap automatically this time

Here is the log from the client side (again there was no log information from the server side)

Essentially I am trying to connect to the other server and map a network drive to access a quickbooks file in multi-user mode. So this would require changing one of the lan's IP scheme to be say 192.168.1.x so they are not identical? (Sorry if this is stupid question, but I am a bit confused on the issue - thought the routing handled the translation)

Best regards, Dave melnyk

maikcat

please also post server logs...

Hi Michael:

As i noted above, there is no server log of any kind under the logs directory.

Not sure what that means....

Regards, Dave Melnyk

maikcat

you can use the log directive in combination with verb

example

log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log
verb 3

i think if you dont specify the log statement all logs go
into /var/log/messages..

Michael.
