How to copy OpenVPN Connect logfiles?
Posted: Wed May 07, 2014 7:37 pm
I am trying to debug a connection/usage problem for my OpenVPN server against an OpenVPN Connect app running on a Samsung Galaxy S4Mini.
I can connect fine but the phone cannot reach the Internet while connected. But I can FTP to the VPN server, so some form of communication is on-going.
However it seems like the phone can only reach the OpenVPN server, not the Internet nor the resources on the server's local network (my NAS for example)...
To analyze this I need to be able to check the client logfile but I find no way to save it to somewhere I can access it.
Is there some hidden command that enables me to save the logfile somewhere in the "open" on my phone's file system?
If not, how can one check the logfile????
Looking at it via the log viewer while connected is not enough, I need to be able to do text searches through the file.
I have looked on both my phone memory and the external SDcard file systems without luck!
And while I am asking about the app:
Key file handling
I have put ovpn key files on my phone and imported them to the app.
Can I remove the files afterwards or are they still needed by the app after import?
