One OpenVPN success, one failure... help
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2018 3:11 am
I have successfully set up OpenVpn server on my home network from a Linksys 1900ACS router and have working clients on my iPhone and Windows laptop. Now I am trying to duplicate this for a friend's system with a Linksys 3200ACM with connections to my same phone and laptop. No joy. I have turned on the VPN in the Linksys admin settings, setup the user/password, and downloaded the config files just like before.
iPhone problem: Importing the profile via e-mail and OpenVPN client app fails due to "remote option not specified." Can't even try to actually connect.
Laptop problem: config file imports OK, but connection (from outside the local network) fails, full log reads: Sat Dec 22 21:57:11 2018 disabling NCP mode (--ncp-disable) because not in P2MP client or server mode
Options error: You must define TUN/TAP device (--dev)
Use --help for more information.
Only difference here is that there is an Ooma Telo VoIP box in between the modem and router. Could this be causing these particular issues? I will try to switch the Ooma box to be behind the router tomorrow to test that theory.
