OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I have tried to set up OpenVPN about 5 times on my server, none have worked. I am doing everything correctly (or so I think), but when I put the files in the 'config' folder on my computer and connect, all I get is the 60 second timeout and "TLS Key Negotiation Failed (handshake failed)."

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 on my server and Windows 10 on my PC.

Here is my client.ovpn file:
http://pastebin.com/f3EFMtfW

Here is my server.conf file:
http://pastebin.com/4qZs8B63

Here is my OpenVPN client log:
http://pastebin.com/Q4180UwC

What I've already tried:

• Opening TCP/UDP port 1194 (server side)
• Adding anti-malware and firewall exceptions on my PC
• Running the GUI as an administrator and in compatibility mode

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

please post configs (without comments) here.

also post logs.

Michael.

Your client log (Line 1):

Thu Aug 27 04:12:37 2015 Warning: cannot open --log file: C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\log\client.log: Access is denied. (errno=5)

Not running as administrator ..

Also, how did you install OpenVPN .. I thought Windows 10 blocked the installation of the TAP driver ?

No, downloaded the installer and ran it, prompted me to install the TAP driver. I have it pre-set to run as an administrator.

i saw the pastebin links but while i am at work our policy filters out pastebin.....

so i suggested to post them here (as you did) as also forum rules suggests...


can you also post server side logs as well?

usually TLS based errors occur due to filtering packets along the way...

My OpenVPN magically works now...?

Here's what I did:

• Disabled ufw

  Code: Select all

  ufw disable /* since been re-enabled with no problems */

• Added an iptables exception

  Code: Select all

  iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT

• Changed the server.conf

  Code: Select all

  log-append /var/log/openvpn.log

Still don't realize how I got it to work considering when I added an iptables exception for the first time it didn't work. It only worked after I changed the rules of the log in the server.conf. Very strange...
