ptp client works,more possible with limited root? (resolved)

dapsaille

Hello,

sorry for the title, but i preferred to use a long phrase than "Don't work, help please" ...

I use a Vps from Alvotech (already read that it cause some headaches to make openvpn work on this vps)..

The vps is limited .. i mean no route, iptables and others network related commands.

I've successfully configured a working ptp with this tutorial who reflect my actual conf (except tun device name and net address of course)

http://faq.alvotech.de/de/content/9/1/de/wie-kann-ich-openvpn-konfigurieren.html

I'm pretty new to the vpn world so .. i've tried to read some documentations but there is so many new words for me that i don't have any idea to where start from ..

Do you think i can configure a multiple clients with this setup ?, my goal is to provide a vpn access to my family member's with gateway redirect (aka = all traffic foes to vpn), not to share anything between clients.

I don't post my conf because it is the same than in the faq.

Many thanks in advance.

The link you provided explains how to setup a 1-to-1 connection. For a multiple users, see the manual on the basic example: http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/manuals/69-openvpn-21.html

Well ...

i've tested and it seems that my local tun device is configured with a 255.255.255.255 netmask ... so server mode complain and don't work.

Do you think that i'm doing some mistakes and a tun interface with 255.255.255.255 network may work for server mode with multiple clients connected or do i need to contact my hoster ?

Thanks

I jut got the response from Alvotech support team.

only PtP is supported but they can create other preconfigured tun devices so problem is resolved for me (but i need to dig more in openvpn docs ^^)
