Cannot connect through Connect Client

Post by n-tsuchiya » Mon May 09, 2011 2:18 am

At first I installed OpenVPN Client for Windows. But it doesn't establish the connection through Porxy.
In spite that I configured Proxy information in Advanced setting, the client tried to connect to the server IP directly.
So I tried to use Connect Client. Fortunately the client tried to connect through proxy setting of Internet Explorer. The connection could be established through port 443.

After login to the server through Web,
It shows

Please click here to continue to download OpenVPN Connect.
You will be automatically connected after the installation has finished.


But it doesn't proceed any more.
So I installed the Connect Client manually. I also found that the icon of OpenVPN is on the tray.
So I thought that Connect Client was installed successfully.

Then I tried to connect. But it still the same.
"Please click here to continue to download OpenVPN Connect.

This symptoms is only at one site.


Are there any requirement? Or are there any advices to check?
Please help me.

the OpenVPN Connect client is the commercial client, which is not officially supported on this forum. It does work in conjunction with an open source openvpn server, but questions related to support should be asked to the OpenVPN Access Server Tech Support.

The "regular" OpenVPN GUI is capable of connecting via an HTTP proxy; try adding

Code: Select all

http-proxy <host> <port>
to the client configuration file and make sure you use 'proto tcp' as well.
