Raspberry Pi VPN client setup

[retlas]

Hi Guys,

Been searching for a while.... Can't seem to find the answer.

Need to setup my Pi to connect through my OpenVPN server. Can't figure out how.

Running latest version of wheezy raspbian.

Would someone please help?

Thanks

a raspberry pi is "just" a linux PC running a form of Debian; do a

Code: Select all

apt-get install openvpn

to install openvpn and configure it just like a regular VPN client.

Thanks, I was totally making the setup harder than it had to be. Didn't realize you could just drop the .ovpn config file into a directory.

Cheers.

Just throwing in my 2 cents;

If you rename the .ovpn to .conf and place it in /etc/openvpn/ the OpenVPN daemon will be able to pick it up and autostart/stop the connection on boot-up/shutdown. That does require an autologin profile, though, as the daemon will not be able to handle interactive input of username/password.

Got the solution...

It was due to a server date and time not in synch...
