[Solved] Cannot load certificate file help!

[kraze]

Gmail is a generic web page ...

try pinging some websites .. maybe your DNS needs to be configured correctly

That was phrased incorrectly. Things like RDP, Steam and Gmail seem to be working just fine but other websites such as Google.com, YouTube, WellsFargo aren't loading. Runnings some pings they all seem to just timeout from being unable to look up the host name.

I set GoogleDNS on the client side adapter and the server side adapter but that didn't seem to fix anything.

Looking in the manual this is what I came up with. --route-nopull. I placed this in my client.opvn and everything seems to be loading just fine.

Now is it safe to assume that all my client side traffic is being directed towards the server and vice versus?

Alright, I removed --route-nopull from my client config. Here is the server config.

Code: Select all

local 74.91.115.193
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
;dev-node {TUN/TAP Name}
server 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.248
route-method exe
         ca "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\ca.crt"
       cert "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\testsrv.crt"
        key "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\testsrv.key"
         dh "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\dh1024.pem"
   tls-auth "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OpenVPN\\config\\ta.key" 0
comp-lzo
keepalive 20 60
status TEST_TUN.log
push "redirect-gateway def1"
verb 3

I spent some time going through the manual and I wasn't able to find anything which could help me in my situation. The nopull command seemed like a good fit, though.

This is how it works ...

From the OP:

Cannot load certificate file help!

You now have a working certificate file.
You still do not actually know how to create your own certificate file ..
Read the manual on how to create your own certificate file.

You have a working VPN.
You don't know how to configure that working VPN.
Read the manual on how to configure your VPN.

When you have an actual problem that is not actually covered by the manual we will help you solve the problem.

But we will not hand hold you through the process.
There were numerous previous posts which drew your attention to this.

Even though you have helped me a lot that was a little rude :/ I am not asking to have my hand held. This subject is something that is new to me and something I am learning about. We all have to start somewhere! I'm sure you weren't good with a VPN two weeks after you started using one

This is also a public forum, while my original question may be out of the loop of this specific sub-category now, getting help with an issue like this is exactly what a forum is for.
