Connect from mint gui to windows openvpn server

[SpongeB0b]

Hello people,

I have an up & running open server under windows and everything working well.

Now I try to connect a Mint machine (18.2-xfce-32bit) trough the gui




I completed all the field etc.. and when I try to establish the connection the last line that I see in the status of the serve is:

Sun Sep 17 08:06:23 2017 mintmachine/192.168.0.12:42991 MULTI: Learn: 4a:ff:fe:81:20:30 -> mintmachine/192.168.0.12:42991

when I launch a ping from the client (mint) to the server

I have a line at every ping ->

Sun Sep 17 08:10:05 2017 mintmachine/192.168.0.12:42991 MULTI: Learn: 41:00:40:01:d5:1d -> mintmachine/192.168.0.12:42991

and I got no ping :/

any idea ?

So i've made a new windows OpenVPN server (from scratch) with the last release (2.4.4)

Windows to windows machine it's work perfectly.

When I try to connect From my Mint machine (18.2-xfce-32bit) to this new Windows OpenVPN server I receive those error (server log) ->

Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed
TLS Error: incoming packet authentication failed from [AF_INET6]::ffxx:xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx

I disabled the TCP/IP v6 protocol on both on my machine windows ->

and it's work.

I have disabled the TCP/IP V6 protocol in my vpn config on my mint machine also.

in my server config I have enable

Code: Select all

compress lz4-v2

But I don't found the equivalant in the GUI in Mint

So how can I edit this file ->

Code: Select all

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/testovpn/testovpn

I think my OpenVPN config is inside, but unfortunatly when I try to open it I get ->


And like I'm a noob under linux I don't know how force it to read/write it

Thank you people.

The problem is network-manager ..

You can just run the configs via the service wrapper.
