Hmmm, without any config files, it's hard to read exactly what is encoded on your server's harddrives.

I'd recommend using PasteBin http://pastebin.com/for your config files.
Posting your exact IP address on paste bin probably isn't the best idea, I recommend removing the last digits and replacing them with x's...
IE, my IP address is 50.135.217.xxx

Other than that, look through your config files before you paste them, and edit anything that you don't want the world to see. If you do remove something, make sure you explicitly call it out.

how can i get the system info.. from SSH?

[FeileX]

Yea, or your console, if you have direct access...
The config files we are looking for are your server.conf file, and your client.conf file.

Ok....

Read through this, it will give you lots of insights....

For starters, dev tun0 is wrong... I believe it should be just dev tun
As for no keys...
Have you created your keys for the server and created keys for the client?

Well, looking again at your config files, you list the server as 174.59.147.xx
Server should be the ip address that you are trying to expose...
Such as 10.8.0.0 /255.255.255.0
Try changing that, set "verb 5",
and then restart the service.

Then use pastebin to dump the output of servers/serv/logs/openvpn.log.

In the server.conf replace with:

Code: Select all

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

and dont use your public ip.
