OpenVPN Support Forum

I have installed OpenVPN on a USB-stick connected to my Asus RT-N56U router. I have followed this guide: http://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/wiki/H ... nvpnServer But I can't get it to work, when I try to connect to my VPN-server through Internet with the OpenVPN Client it just times out, I enter my IP-address and press connect and the it asks for username and password and then nothing more happens.


My openvpn.conf looks like this:

/opt/home/admin # cat /opt/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
## Openvpn configuration file
## /opt/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf

i read the howto but im missing something...

My /opt/etc/openvpn/secrets looks like this:

/opt/home/admin # cat /opt/etc/openvpn/secrets
## username secret
MyOwnUsername MyOwnPassword
/opt/home/admin #

where in your config do you make use of secrets file..?
the config is using certificates for authentication not user/pass..

Michael.

Hmm, your're right. But how should I edit the config file to use user/pass instead of certificates? Strange that the guide didn't explain that..

please take a look here..

http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... .html#auth

http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-user ... 00046.html

only have tried user accounts (linux) not in file,
i guess it requires a script for validating users..

Sorry if i didnt helped you.

Michael.

I've read the guide, but I can't find how to use to command/script etc.

Thanks anyway! I will continue to search for the answer!
