Hi everyone,
I am having a strange problem with my dreambox and the openvpn client. Most of the times it just doesnt create the connection also when I get in the console the info back that the client was started successfully.
The worst part is that when the connection does not create and even cant reboot the box or start a ping or ifconfig, it crashes.

Here the log when the connection fails

Any idea what it could be?

Thanks

Edit:
Also when I say
openvpn --rmtun --dev tun0
it crashes and I cant call ifconfig anymore and have to make a hard reset

what dm are you using? 500? 800?

which image?

Michael.

Posted: **Tue Jan 15, 2013 5:04 pm**

Hi,
having the 800SE HD with the el blindo imagine based on newnigma2

Posted: **Wed Jan 16, 2013 7:15 am**

is your dm a clone?

what sim you have?

Michael.

Posted: **Wed Jan 16, 2013 6:59 pm**

Yes, its a clone with Sim 2.1

The strange thing is when I for example change something in the config like activating a push route it works again...

can you post your configs,ip settings etc?

Michael.

Posted: **Thu Jan 17, 2013 6:04 pm**

Sure, my config is

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote openvpn.ivacy.com 1194
push "route 192.168.33.0 255.255.255.0"
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ivacy-ca.crt
cert ivacy-client.crt
key ivacy-client.key
tls-auth ivacy-tls.key 1
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/authpass
redirect-gateway
reneg-sec 0
#status openvpn-status.log
log openvpn.log

and my IP config

Code: Select all

IP: 192.168.33.22
Sub: 24
GW: 192.168.33.2

Posted: **Thu Jan 17, 2013 6:11 pm**

your config has some issues...

remove this:

push "route 192.168.33.0 255.255.255.0"

server pushes routes to clients not the other way around...

also change this:

redirect-gateway

to this

Code: Select all

redirect-gateway def1

btw why need to change default gateway through vpn?
can you also post server config?

Michael.

Posted: **Fri Jan 18, 2013 5:19 pm**

Well, I added the push route because I tested it before under XP and when I didnt add it I couldnt access my local LAN.
The server config I cant post because I dont have it, its a paid VPN server.

But thanks for the tip, next time I ll have this issue I will try it with the redirect-gateway

Posted: **Mon Jan 21, 2013 6:23 pm**

Hi again,
so I changed it to def1 but the result is the same.
It hangs after the default GW is created

Code: Select all

Mon Jan 21 19:21:21 2013 ROUTE default_gateway=192.168.33.2

Hi, I have exactly the same fault with a dm800 non se clone currently on the GP3 image occasionally it works but most of the time fails as above. I think its an issue opening the tun device rather than route add but I've not found a fix. I've tried various vpn provides and had the configfs working under Windows, Linux and openwrt devices.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2013 3:01 pm**

The only way I got it working is with a org sim and one of the latest images...
Anyway, it is really a strange behavior...

Posted: **Sun Apr 28, 2013 8:03 pm**

It really is a strange one and it's got the better of me. I've tried various images and also manually installing openvpn and the tun interface. Did you say you've managed to get it working properly with a dm800se with an original sim card? What image are you running and does it work every time now?

Sounds like I need to invest in an 800se and original sim.
