Post by tkdhanasekar » Thu Mar 31, 2022 4:55 am

i set openvpn access server in Ubuntu20.04 and generate profile.ovpn key when i try to import
the profile.ovpn config in Centos7 client machine its a (pre-configured cpanel app centos7 droplet) i got error

-bash-4.2# openvpn3 config-import --config profile-3.ovpn
config-import: ** ERROR ** Failed preparing proxy: Error calling StartServiceByName for net.openvpn.v3.configuration:
GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.PermissionsInvalid: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct

the command # openvpn3 config-import --config profile-3.ovpn works fine with Ubuntu and centos

The real error here is: The permission of the setuid helper is not correct

This sounds like the install hasn't happened properly; this may happen if the openvpn user is not available or configured. That should happen automatically during the yum/rpm install, though. How did you install the openvpn3-linux package? Did you use the Fedora Copr repository? Which version of openvpn3-linux are you running? (please provide output of "openvpn3 version")
