openvpn connection direct and over ssh tunnel

Post by barmet » Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:39 am

Hi,

i've installed recently an OpenVpn AS on my Lubuntu
and also SSH for tunneling

here is what i tried :

step 1:
over my galaxy S4 on 4G telecom, i connect myself to my open Vpn AS directly without ssh tunneling
i successfully inherited of my home Wan address (checking with What is my Ip)
i successfully surf on the net etc

step2: same way but htis time i first connect on ssh for tunneling with port forwarding on 443 and 1194
then openvpn : ovpn file confugred on 127.0.0.1 address
the connection of open vpn has been longer then in direct
it seemed to loop till it successfully connect but i was unable to surf on the net and get information of my ip adress
then a couple of minutes later it disconnected end tried again !!

i think i forgive something
or something is missing in any config file...

if anyone can help me !

ps : ive tried this second step on Windows 7 with putty and i worked like a charm !!
why it do not work on my android 4.4.2 over ssh tunneling

We don't support running OpenVPN over an SSH tunnel. Since your connection worked directly and not over your SSH tunnel, see the SSH folks for your support.
