OpenVPN Support Forum

Posted: **Wed Jun 24, 2020 2:16 am**

So I finally managed to get a connection between Android phone and OpenVPN server on Windows...but have run into another roadblock. When I attempt to open a LAN up address (say to log into router or camera) Chrome times out. I read about compression causing this issue, commented those lines out on both serv/client config...no help. Not really sure where to go next. Again, very new to this so apologize for the questions. Attempting to format my questions correctly per the instructions, so hope they are close to correct. Will come back and update server confi/logs when I am near computer.

Updated: Server log and config now added. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. At this point I don't know if it is a router/firewall issue (did not forward the openVPN port correctly?), a config error on client/server, or something that I didn't even know existed which is probably a lot. Thanks in advance for any direction...and if I made mistakes in how to frame this request please feel free to guide me as I am sure it won't be my last.

I finally managed to get a connection between Android phone and OpenVPN server on Windows

You need to setup Windows correctly and that is not easy because Windows is crap.

There are some tutorials here by Bebop:

Thanks. I will look at that tutorial as well but I feel like I have watched every video, read every tutorial etc and while they have helped along the way this time I am stumped. I don't see any errors in the logs that point me to where my problem is, which makes it more difficult to trouble shoot. However I am not well versed in what anything in the logs mean so had hoped someone here may see something I am missing. I hate to change the config too much because it took about 100 iterations for me to even establish a connection. Server side was actually fairly easy, but I struggled with Android.

The problems are not with openvpn they are with your server setup.

Your client config is still a mess, for example:

cmderden79 wrote: ↑
Wed Jun 24, 2020 2:16 am
setenv IV_GUI_VER "de.blinkt.openvpn 0.7.15"
setenv IV_SSO openurl,crtext
setenv IV_PLAT_VER "28 9 arm64-v8a samsung msm8998 SM-G950U"

These values cannot be set in a config file.

Posted: **Thu Jun 25, 2020 1:17 pm**

Yes I had multiple issues with even connecting with a much simpler config. I actually found that OpenVPN for Android would create a config file based on some criteria, so I gave it a go and that is what it created. While I was able to connect (I was having tls-auth issues), the new config file did look ridiculous. Then I had multiple formatting issues with the keys (assume being cut and pasted so many times the x.509 got messed up). Figured that out from the logs. And here I am lol.

When you say server...do mean something in the OpenVPN server itself, or something with regards to the machine i.e. firewall, defender, router issues, etc. Just looking for the place I should start. Reading the link you gave me now.

Also, you have not even used --redirect-gateway at all
so my guess is that you have not read the OpenVPN howto ..

No I have read it, it's more the "intended audience" that is the problem. I understand a "bit" about networking, but my knowledge level is not deep and am not 100% familiar with all of the concepts. So in short, I am attempting to learn everything at the same time which has been pretty overwhelming to take in all at once. I appreciate the help/guidance this far, and will continue to absorb as much as I can from this group and the prior help topics provided.

For what it is worth, this all started from wanting to view my cameras over a secure connection. I was told that port forwarding us not only dangerous for my network, but for everyone else's and in short, you are a   if you don't use some sort of protection, and OpenVPN was the choice of most. So that lead me down this path. However I am finding it isn't as simple as, hey, I need a VPN...so away we go.

I have the Howto and the Manual open on my desktop practically every day ..
