hi there,

Mon Jan 21 15:39:22 2013 us=880000 TCP: connect to 213.179.210.49:443 failed, will try again in 5 seconds: Connection refused (WSAECONNREFUSED)

this tells it all...

the remote site drops your request,possible reasons?

remote firewall blocks you,
remote server blocks you,

are you using proxy server?

post also your configs..

Michael.

Thank you maikcat for you prompt responce

I guess that i do not use a proxy server !

Regarding my Config.... do u mean to send you the files ? pls. bear with me as i have no idea and VPN was installed by one of my friend, i do apologize for that

do u mean to send you the files ?

whatever i ask you ,you should post it here...


so others can read it as well....


ps: i am not the only mod here...

Michael.

ooooops !

I have the following files in my Config folder :

ca
ovpn046

both are security certificates


ovpno46
ta

these are KEY Files

do you mean the above files or others ???

these files have an extention...

if they are .crt .key then no i dont want them

i am looking for a file with ext .ovpn or .conf...

Michael.

this is the info in my OpenVPN Config. file

remote 213.179.210.49 443
proto tcp
ca ca.crt
cert ovpn046.crt
key ovpn046.key
tls-auth ta.key 1
cipher BF-CBC
client
dev tun
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
;http-proxy-retry # retry on connection failures
;http-proxy [proxy server] [proxy port #]
verb 4
mute 5
tun-mtu 1500
route-method exe
route-delay 2

hi there,

ok no proxy used...

if you try a

telnet 213.179.210.49 443

you should get an answer (from command line)

if not then something blocks you or the remote is down...

Michael.
