no matter what i try i get status=1
Posted: Mon Apr 10, 2023 11:14 pm
Here is what i'm trying to do.
I have a web service that needs to pivot from an outside source via a openvpn server into my internal network.
i used this guide https://fscene8.me/openvpn-from-a-vm/
I have tried that guide via a ubuntu and a debian vm but i get the same error when I check the service.
before this I ensured the service was enabled and running. but when i check the status I get this. I have followed a manual guide on a brand new vm and got the same error.
all the certs are created and in place.
