Server-client confiuration issue in opevpn

Post by hitendra » Mon Apr 13, 2020 10:58 am

Hi Team,

I'm new to openvpn and i want to set-up openvpn.

Here is my configuration and question:
    I have a laptop and I'm giving the internet to laptop via mobile's wifi (means created hotspot).
      The same way , I have PC and I'm giving the internet to PC via some other mobile's USB tethering.

      Note : Both mobile have different internet connection . 1st one have JIO and 2nd have Airtel.

      Now, in laptop where my Openvpn server is running I got IP address like 192.168.72.xx and the client means on PC i got 192.168.60.xx. also VPN tunnel is set on 10.8.0.0.

      I got the pubilc IP of server by tying what is my IP in google. I added this in client.conf but not bale to connect to openvpn server.

      Can anyone help me ? what is that I'm doing wrong here ??

      If your server log does not show any failed connection attempts then you have not setup your network correctly.

      You need to forward the correct port on your external router.

      If you are at home then test openvpn by using your local LAN IP of the server: 192.168.72.xx

      Hi @TinCanTech

      Thank you for your feedback.

      As I mention in question that I'm not using router. I'm using the mobile networks .

      SO how can I forward the port in mobile connection ?? I think no external router here ?? what can you say about that ??

      Both mobile connection can get public IP ,but not able to ping each other .
      what can i do for that, at least they can ping each other ?

      Those are not viable internet addresses.

      you need to call to your mobile phone which you make hotspot for your server connect to open port first , and from hot spot on your mobile phone you need using iptables to fordward port to your server so after that you can connec from client to your server .

      nobody try to make server running from hop spot from the phone , if you want to do that the best is rent a host on the net and make site to site connection so from everywhere you can connect.

      if you want to run server you need to have an static ip or at least real ip on internet , mobile phone provider never give to you a real ip address how can you connect ?

      I run openvpn client on this laptop but not able to connect OpenVPN server run on the gateway.

      I already enable IPV4 net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 and also forward he port 1194.

      Still why i'm not connected to server ?? what is am I the missing here ?

      I got error like timeout for TLS hanshake to server and It will start again to connect the server .

      Perhaps your internet provider does not allow such connections .. but this is not something we can help with.

      Check your server log for failed connection attempts ..

      he doesnt have internet sevice provider at all , he want to use sim card for internet connection and get internet from simcard , i told you cant do it , there is no way you can do it , simcar internet dont give you real ip address so you cant connect to it , they use CG-NAT so forget what you want to do , just buy vpn somewhene to use it and make site to site connection so from two point you can communication
