OpenVPN Support Forum

I am trying to build one openvpn network with a server and a remote client.Both are linux computer and use ubuntu.

Server tunnel has been activated properly

after trying to activate the openvpn in the client with the command "openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn" , I get the warning-error message:

WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.

Nonetheless the client.ovpn and the server.conf have a certification file.

I copy both.

Client.ovpn:

client
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
dev tun
proto udp
dh /etc/openvpn/dh2048.pem
remote 92.222.86.41 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
cert /etc/openvpn/ServerRemoto1.crt
key /etc/openvpn/ServerRemoto1.key
comp-lzo
verb 4
float

server.conf:

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/server.key
dh /etc/openvpn/dh2048.pem
server 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
crl-verify /etc/openvpn/01.pem
ifconfig-pool-persist /etc/openvpn/ipp.txt
route "192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0"
cipher DES-CFB
user root
group nogroup
status /var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log
log /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
log-append /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log

mute 20

I NEED URGENT HELP!!!!!!

that's just a warning , vpn connectivity should work just fine
you can use one of the --remote-cert options do have the warning not shown anymore
client config
remote-cert-tls server

server config
remote-cert-tls client

see the manual for details https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/w ... n23ManPage

THANKs but connection do not work.

I get this errorr at the end of the messages , I thought It was due to the warning messages but after reading your comment ,must be other reason.This is the error:

I AM TOTALY LOST.CAN YOU HLP ME PLEASE??
Thanks

looking at your configs , you should stop copy/pasting configs found on the interwebs and read the damn manual

remove from server config
cipher DES-CFB
route "192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0" - i think you wanted ' push "route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0" ' anyway
crl-verify /etc/openvpn/01.pem
remote-cert-tls client - if you added this , since i'm not sure how you created the certificates

remove from client config
comp-lzo
float
dh /etc/openvpn/dh2048.pem

if that doesn't work , see this topic viewtopic.php?f=30&t=22603 about requesting help
