Re: How to quickly fix OpenVPN error 10054?
OpenVPN error 10054 happens mainly due to firewall settings or wrong port forwarding rules in the OpenVPN server.
Few steps to fix “OpenVPN error 10054”
1. Check server connection
Firstly, we check the connection from the home computer to the OpenVPN server. For this, we use the telnet command in the format
telnet <VPN address> <port>
If the connection do not work properly, we then check on the server side to see if there are connections reaching the OpenVPN server from this particular client.
2. Disabling firewall
If connections are not even reaching the server, obviously the client computer firewall will have a role in it. To isolate this firewall dependency, our Dedicated Engineers suggest customers to completely turn off firewall and repeat the telnet check. For example, in case of Windows customers, we ask them to disable Windows Firewall completely and try connecting.
Again, if there are further error messages, it means there is something beyond the computer firewall.
3. Edit port forwarding rules
At this point, we check the port forwarding rules in the OpenVPN server. We look for typos in the rules and fix them. That solves the OpenVPN error 10054, and make OpenVPN work fine.
