Stuck at configuring OpenVPN between 2 servers

[Kai3]

HI,

Please help

I am a user of Digital Ocean.
I am reading a tutorial below

How To Secure Traffic Between VPS Using OpenVPN
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... ng-openvpn

I faced some issues but I found solutions, and then I finally went to at the end of that tutorial.

But my VPN doesn't work.

Could you please help?

Thank you

Best regards,
Kai

Hello,

I will write what problem I have. Please help!

In this tutorial, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... ng-openvpn

At the very end, I type ping 10.8.0.1 but no response.

ping 10.8.0.1
PING 10.8.0.1 (10.8.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 10.8.0.1 ping statistics ---
9 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 8199ms

So I kept reading over and over if any mistake I made. I tried to modify some to test if it works, but it doesn't work.


I doubt this is something wrong.
In tutorial, it says like this.

-----------------------------------------------------
You can also type:

service openvpn status
and if OpenVPN is running, you'll see the following:

* VPN 'server' is running
-----------------------------------------------------

When I type service openvpn status, out come is like this below.
It doesn't say, VPN 'server' is running
It only says, active (exited)
It doesn't say, active (running)

service openvpn status
[sudo] password for XXXXXXXX:
● openvpn.service - OpenVPN service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/openvpn.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

CGroup: /system.slice/openvpn.service

So I read the section below, but checking again and again, but I can't fix.
OpenVPN Server config files
On Droplet 1

I thought firehol might be causing this problem, and I checked again. But still issue remains.

Please help

Thank you
