Cant establish TCP connection , please help
Posted: Fri May 08, 2020 3:15 pm
Hello 
So I've installed OpenVPN GUI and it was working perfectly fine , i was connected through my mobile data , and then i switched to my router and i cant connect anymore and i've been experiencing this problem for the past 4 days and i've done a lot of googling but nothing lead to anything helpful , all lead to dead ends , i'll attach the log files below , as previously mentioned i only face this problem whilst using the router ; i've reinstalled OpenVPN several times yet the problem is still there , and another thing i noticed is that i can connect only using one kind of a sim but not the others meaning not all sims can connect ; i've also tried disabling the router's firewall even though there isn't an option for that but you can un-check all the given methods of protection and that's what i did , as i said i used to share my mobile's data with the pc through a usb cable and i've compared the details of both side to side and except for the difference of IpV4 i noticed that my router has IPv6 default gateway and dns server set whilst for the ethernet connection on my mobile its empty , and i've tried to empty them on my router but needless to say i wasn't able to as if i leave it empty it doesn't save the settings , i'm using a Dlink router will provide the type if necessary , i'm also pretty sure the problem doesn't involve the server nor the config because both were were and still working absolutely fine on my mobile's data , i've also tried creating new 5 configs they all seemed to work suing mobile data but not using the router's , i've also googled the error i've been getting and nothing came in handy.
I wanted to add that i just figured out that out of the 3 services installed "OpenVPNServiceInteractive" "OpenVPNServiceLegacy" and "OpenVPNService" , the lastly mentioned which is under "C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\bin\openvpnserv2.exe" , is the only that i can't execute or start through 'Services' , i get this pop up :
"Windows could not start the OpeVpnService on local computer.
Error 1053 : The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
Any help would be hugely appreciated , thanks a lot for your time <3 and have a nice day !
The attached logs contain both logs of when the connection was done through the mobile data and succeeded and when it was through the router and failed , i've tried remove the personal data but i kept a copy with no modifications whatsoever if needed
i think i might misused this bbcode , but i think this is what i should use to sumbit the log file , i've also deleted the remote ip and some of the first letters of each long code ( the private key , certificate , etc)
client
nobind
dev tun

i do think that one file configuration would be enough as the problem is concerning the router not the configs files
Once again thanks for your time and have a nice day <3
