OpenVPN Optware, Asus rt-n56u and Windows 7 problem

Post by Pegaz123 » Wed Jun 11, 2014 2:38 pm

Hello, i'm new here, and i'm sorry for my terrible English,
but i had read many topics, and there is a problem in my server configuration.
I've made all cert and key files and p12 file and import on android phone and it's connect easy without problem, but on Windows 7 there is error in log:
  • Options error: On Windows, --ifconfig is required when --dev tun is used
My server.conf:
  • proto udp
    port 1194
    dev tun1
    dev-node Home
    topology subnet
    server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
    client-config-dir ccd
    push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
    ca /etc/storage/openvpn/server/ca.crt
    dh /etc/storage/openvpn/server/dh1024.pem
    cert /etc/storage/openvpn/server/server.crt
    key /etc/storage/openvpn/server/server.key
    tls-auth /etc/storage/openvpn/server/ta.key 0
    persist-key
    persist-tun
    user nobody
    group nogroup
    script-security 2
    tmp-dir /tmp/openvpn
    writepid /var/run/openvpn_svr.pid
    client-connect ovpns.script
    client-disconnect ovpns.script

    ### User params:
    auth SHA1 # SHA1 160 bit (default)
    cipher BF-CBC # Blowfish 128 bit (default)
    comp-lzo
    max-clients 10
    client-to-client
    keepalive 10 60
    nice 3
    verb 0
    mute 10
My client.conf:
  • # Custom user conf file for OpenVPN client
    # Please add needed params only!
    ### Authenticate packets with HMAC using message digest algorithm
    auth SHA1 # SHA1 160 bit (default)
    ;auth SHA256 # SHA256 256 bit
    ;auth SHA512 # SHA512 512 bit

    ### Encrypt packets with cipher algorithm
    cipher BF-CBC # Blowfish 128 bit (default)
    ;cipher AES-128-CBC # AES 128 bit
    ;cipher AES-256-CBC # AES 256 bit
    ;cipher DES-EDE3-CBC # Triple-DES 192 bit
    ;cipher none # No encryption

    ### Enable LZO compression on the VPN link
    comp-lzo

    ### If your server certificates with the nsCertType field set to "server"
    ;ns-cert-type server

    ### All outgoing IP traffic will be redirected over the VPN
    ;redirect-private def1

    ### Process priority level (0..19)
    nice 3

    ### Syslog verbose level
    verb 0
    mute 10
My client.ovpn:
  • remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    port 1194
    dev tun
    dev-node Home
    cipher BF-CBC
    comp-lzo
    ca ca.crt
    cert client1.crt
    key client1.key
    tls-auth ta.key 1
    key-direction 1
I have no idea, what can I do to connect windows to VPN subnet.
In maunal there is info about server options that there is ifconfig in side that, but OpenVPN client for Windows write down that there is error.
Please help me. I need the OpenVPN connection.
