OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi

I am trying to setup openvpn on xtrend sat receiver but I am failing terribly. I have currently openvpn running on Mac OS X, IOS and DD-WRT without any problems.

I have installed the openvpn using opkg and I created the client config (found a template/example here). then I changed the required fields and cipher to match the one I have configured on DD-WRT.

when I do /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting openvpn: FAILED-> openvpn FAILED-> user.

Any idea how I could further troubleshoot?

TIA

try openvpn --config yourconfigfilename

Michael,

thanks for the tip. By using the command parameter you hinted, I was able to get more details in the output. It pointed me to the cipher key which I removed from the config file. This worked and was able to build a tun.

thanks
