Hello,

The answer I got:

Hello,

sorry - but any kind of own iptables rules are not set able with our vservers.

What can I do?

[Bebop]

I just realized, something fundamental and basic is missing from the server.conf.

Add this:

Code: Select all

push "redirect-gateway def1"

Assuming your server.conf is still same as #p14224

There was already this line, because you have already told me

I forgot about you have no iptables. Not to worry.

add this to server.conf:

Code: Select all

push "redirect-gateway def1"

After this *maybe* one more step, that is masquerade or snat.

Code: Select all

log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log

port 1194
proto udp

dev tun1280-76
server 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0


ifconfig-noexec

ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/server.key
dh /etc/openvpn/dh1024.pem

verb 3

keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo

push "redirect-gateway def1"

I do not know what to do.

Your host provider said this:

we have a lot of customers there are using OpenVPN with our vservers, it's possible.

Then they said this:

sorry - but any kind of own iptables rules are not set able with our vservers.

I can't make sense why its not working, except a firewall issue.

Let see if this is right: you can connect to vpn, you can ping vpn, but you can't get the vpn IP when you pass through the tunnel?

to me it looks like firewall / masquerade / snat issue. Maybe your provider can provider alternate answer.

Yes that's right, here's what I get when I connect to my VPN.

Maybe this can help you:

Sorry to dissapoint you, but on vserver even bringing up OpenVPN, you cant use it to redirect client internet traffic thru OpenVPN server. As stated here http://linux-vserver.org/Frequently_Ask ... tables_.3F

Can I use iptables ?
Yes but right now only on the host (rootserver). Please realize that all traffic is local and will not touch the forward chain.
If you really, really, really need iptables on the guest and you are aware about loosing a big part of VServer isolation and security you could add the NET_ADMIN capability. Consider writing wrappers to manage iptables on the host instead.

Althought it may be possible using that net_admin as the stated, but I'm not sure, must be tested what that net_admin is.

Are you using WIndows 7? You have to run OpenVPN as administrator and as elevated user, i.e. right click -> run as administrator.

Also in server.conf you must use:

Code: Select all

server 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.0.1.1"

Its good that you use in server.conf:

Code: Select all

ifconfig-noexec

Because OpenVPN cant set tun interface parameters.

Also you already done this:

Code: Select all

# ip link set dev tun1280-76 txqueuelen 100
# ifconfig tun1280-76 10.0.1.1 pointopoint 10.0.1.2 mtu 1500
# route add -net 10.0.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.1.2

To enable NET_ADMIN may be this must be done:

Code: Select all

>echo "NET_ADMIN" >> /etc/vservers/<your vserver name>/bcapabilities

This may not work so you will have to ask admin stuff for this.

Well may be they pre-configured your tun interface with ip 10.0.1.33 so using

Code: Select all

server 10.0.1.33 255.255.255.252

is good, and the ip pool will be 33-34 - enoth to connect one client.

Talk to vserver admin stuff about masquarading. Without it, client cant use VPS internet conenction to access internet.

Thanks for looking into in this Mimiko. Great analysis and advice too. comeback, I do agree with Mimiko on this, so I dare say its really good advice to be following.

Hello,

I tried, but it does not work.

I decided to buy a new VPS to 15 € for one year.

The configuration is:

•128MB guaranteed/256MB burstable memory
•15GB storage
•1TB/month data transfer
•OpenVZ/SolusVM

I used the automated script which is the Internet address:

http://www.putdispenserhere.com/openvpn ... or-openvz/

It works perfectly.

Really thank you for your help.

It did not work, but you never give up.

MERCI

[Bebop]

Also you didn't give up. Congrats on the new setup. Enjoy.
