connecting fails with no log
Posted: Sun Aug 11, 2013 1:58 am
Hey guys, this is my first attempt at setting up a vpn server.
Client is Windows xp in a virtual machine, server is a CentOS VPS. The only error I'm getting is "Connecting to client has failed", nothing is printed to the client log or to the logs on my server. I've also tried connecting from my host machine (windows 7) with the same result. In the config folder I have ca.crt, client.crt, client.key, and client.ovpn which looks like this:
I won't pretend to know what some of that stuff means, I just started added things I saw in other people's ovpn files to see if it had any effect, and so far it has not.
The client (OpenVPN GUI v4) was giving me log output before I gave absolute paths so the logging itself works.
I started with udp port 1194 but changed to tcp 443 so I could test with telnet, and that actually works. I'm able to connect and my server logs it:
Since the OpenVPN client is not telling me anything my troubleshooting has stalled so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
