Unknow Error (code=122)

I have created an openvpn server on ubuntu server 16.04 following this guide:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-16-04

I have managed to get the service running and managed to connect to it, but after connecting I can not seem to see any network resources

this is the log information I get from the windows client:

That is your client log so it is a Windows error with the TAP Adapter .. what firewall product do you use ?

kblack227 · Post by **kblack227** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 2:56 am

the windows firewall is used, and I also use avast, but I have tried disabling both and neither seem to change the outcome

TinCanTech · Post by **TinCanTech** » Thu Nov 16, 2017 4:29 am

Try naming the TAP adapter in Network Connections to something like tun0
and then specifying that name in the config file with:

Code: Select all

dev-node tun0

Also, you could try uninstalling Openvpn and Avast and then re-installing Openvpn.
Firewalls like Avast sometimes have problems with openvpn.

I tried all that except reinstall and none of the seemed to work, however after some research I saw that the comp-lzo was enabled on the server and not on the client. so i commented this our on server config and I am able to access all local resources and ping them as well. but when I try to ping the remote client from another pc on the LAN it times out. a little more about my LAN config. I have a linksys router running DD_WRT (non-vpn edition) doing DHCP. the Ubuntu server is on a static ip of 192.168.2.40 and have set a static route for the 10.8.0.0 to the server ip, when I do a tracert from another pc on the LAN to the remote client this the the output

Code: Select all

kblack227 You just have solved my problem. Thanks a lot

Same error but the solution was not in here for me. My compression was doing weird things. As soon as i configured the compression right it worked like a sharm again

Could you please share how you configured the compression ?

You really must not use compression, so remove it.
