I´ve a little problem with my N900 and OpenVPN. If i try to establish a VPN connection i get the error "socket.connetc() faild". If i try to establish the connection manually via console with my config, can i see the whole error (same as i see in my syslog file):
options error: unrecognized options or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/Home.ovpn:1: client
if i change the order for example "client" with "dev tap" i get the same error just with "dev" instead of client (Home.ovpn:1: dev) and so on.
€: Problem solved!

Re: OpenVPN 2.1.1 on my N900
I haven't tried bridging w/ my n900. There are no technical reasons why it wouldn't work.

Re: OpenVPN 2.1.1 on my N900
There is no more output. He has a problem with any parameter... i´ve this problem since pr 1.3 before this updates OpenVPN was working fine...
That´s really annoying i think my N900 is kidding me
.
Always the same options error: unrecognized options or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/Home.ovpn:1: xyz
If i add on line 1 one or more "#" he also says "#" is an unrecognised options or missing parameter it´s really annoying.
I also have tried to solve this problem with a reinstall, but still the same error

Re: OpenVPN 2.1.1 on my N900
Hrm. Well, if you run openvpn manually from the command line with --verb 4, you're going to get the usual log drivel that openvpn emits during startup. That's the information I would need.
