Open VPN has stopped working after router upgrade
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 5:15 pm
I had set up an OVPN server and used/connected to it successfully for a while. However, when I upgraded to a new router (the Netgear r6300) my IP adress changed and I edited the config files accordingly. Unfortunately, the client computers are still unable to connect to the server and I get the following error on the client computer:
RESOLVE: Cannot parse IP address: <public IP of OVPN server here>
I have also forwarded the appropriate ports to the static local IP adress of the OVPN server.
Here are my config files (server is running on winXP):
Server:
Port 807
proto UDP
dev tun
<ca>
(my ca is here)
</ca>
<cert>
(my cert is here)
</cert>
<key>
(my key is here)
</key>
<dh>
(my dh params are here)
</dh>
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "redirect-gateway def1"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
keepalive 10 120

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
