New Installation unable to see network

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Mon May 16, 2011 9:40 am

Hi

I have a Windows 7 machine, I am trying to set this up as the VPN server. I have a 2nd Windows machine setup as a client that I'm using for testing purposes. My goal is to have 2 or more client machines connect via VPN to my Win 7 machine. I am currently testing with my client machine using a 3G dongle.

I have been pulling my hair out trying to get this working. It seems to establish a VPN connection over the internet but I can't ping or see my network. NOTE: I did try the simple configuration earlier and it worked but I can't get the 1 server many clients configuratin working.

Below are my config files and logs, note using mainly the sample config files that come with OpenVPN.

what the windows version of the openvpn server? I see openvpn 2.0.9 and tap-win32 8.4, which are not supported on windows 7; please make sure that you've upgraded to openvpn 2.2 and tap-win32 9.8 on all win7 boxes.

BTW, the client connect log looks OK, can you ping the server IP (10.8.0.1) afterwards?

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Mon May 16, 2011 2:00 pm

OK I was downloading and using the GUI version by Mathias Sundman's, in hindsight it is packaged with OpenVPN 2.0.9

Things got a bit messy so I uninstalled OpenVPN, deleted all files and did a system restore to a few days ago to start fresh.

I went to http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/downloads.html and downloaded and installed "openvpn-2.2.0-install.exe". This version looks a fair bit different to the previous one I was playing with. To be honest I feel very lost, don't know where to start from.

If I follow the HOWTO, I get the following error when I run "init-config":
C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\easy-rsa>copy openssl.cnf.sample openssl.cnf
The system cannot find the file specified.

What am I doing wrong? I can't even get past the 1st step now?

On windows clients you need double slashes

"C:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\easy-rsa\\keys\\client1.crt"

for example

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Mon May 16, 2011 10:05 pm

Please ignore all the initial information, this is a fresh install.... I'm not up to the part where I create certificates. It is the very 1st few steps
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... howto.html

It says to do as follows for Windows installations:
1.init-config
2. vars
3. clean-all
4. build-ca

I get the error during step 4 "build-ca", there is an error during the init-config, it can't find "openssl.cnf.sample" see command prompt output below.

I have searched the directory structure and sure enough there is no "openssl.cnf.sample" file, I can't see any other obvious install instructions?

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Mon May 16, 2011 11:14 pm

I was googling around and found that others were having problems with 2.2.0, and they mentioned that 2.1.4 worked for them with Windows 7. So I downloaded and tried 2.1.4, now getting different errors?

Am I doing something fundumentally wrong? I would really really appreciate some help. It would seem that the clostest I got to getting this thing working was with a version not supported on Windows 7? Really stuggling with this, been working on it for 3 days and lots of hours.

Happy to take any direction? Happy to do a system restore and start fresh witha version that will actually work. What I don't understand is why I'm having such problems in the first few steps.... surely other Windows 7 users would have experienced the same problems?

note: I did try both version 2.2 and 2.14 on 2 different windows 7 machines incase it was clashing with something else, both give the same result.

I logon as the Administrator user to make sure it isn't a permissions thing.

try editing the vars.bat file before running - there are some settings that you need to adjust for your particular CA setup.
See
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... o.html#pki
for details.

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Tue May 17, 2011 1:23 pm

yeh looking but not sure what I'm missing..... I've spent another day going round in circles.... feel like giving up

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Tue May 17, 2011 1:25 pm

tried instructions from:
http://www.runpcrun.com/howtoopenvpn

tried old versions new versions keep getting different error... "No server verification method"

Post by **janjust** » Tue May 17, 2011 1:28 pm

1) edit the vars.bat file, make sure KEY_COUNTRY, KEY_PROVINCE, KEY_CITY, KEY_ORG, and KEY_EMAIL are set
2) source the vars.bat file again (simply type 'vars')
3) check whether the right env vars are set

Code: Select all

echo %KEY_COUNTRY%
echo %KEY_PROVINCE%
echo %KEY_CITYy%
echo %KEY_ORG%
echo %KEY_EMAIL%

4) re-run the 'build-ca' batch file once more

report any warnings or errors here so we can have a look at em.

Hi Janjust.... thanks for your help. I have managed to get the VPN's working using version 2.1.4..... not sure exactly what was stopping me with previous attempts. I deleted everything started fresh and it all seemed to work.

I do have a question about the VPN server, when OpenVPN is running on the server does this stop other "local" non-vpn clients from accessing applications on the server?

it shouldn't , but it depends a bit on your setup - especially bridging can have some unintended side-effects in combination with firewall rules.

ergs · Post by **ergs** » Fri May 20, 2011 3:39 am

THANKS for all your help - I have everything working well.... apart from Windows Firewall, I have to have Public firewall disabled to get it working properly, I tried just allowing port 1194 but just wouldn't work.

Just want to add for the sake of others that may be trying.... I found the 1 crutial part to getting this working was to make sure the user has modify access to the directory structure and make everything run as administrator. Just being a memeber of Administrators is not enough!

THANKS again for you time.
