I just started a new job. My company office is in Paris and I am working from the south of France. To work, I have to connect to the office via a VPN access. I have installed a fedora 14 on my laptop and now i want to configure openvpn.openvpn is installed and I wonder if someone can give me a help to configure it and how and where to put the server IP address and what it's required.

I have installed OpenVPN for network-manager using "sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn". Now I have it in my network-manager, but I dont know how to configure a connection, I have a configuration script, when I import that script in network-manager it automatically creates a connection, but still problems exists ...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI only have very basic understanding on how it works.This question may have been asked so many times, and honestly I've tried so many tutorials and have read a lot of articles but it all didn't worked. I may be too stupid to have this done, or it is just the lack of knowledge.
Here it goes,I have a VPS with a host which runs OpenVZ in LA. I want to create a VPN tunnel to the VPS and tunnel all my internet traffic to the VPS. Can somebody please help me out on the step-by-step?
I was once able to configure the VPS to run OpenVPN and my client pc was able to connect to it, but the internet connection is still thru with my local connection. Did it with a tutorial too. I would also like to ask, The VPS has 512mb of RAM, I was wondering how many clients can it handle at the same time.
I have a remote network that I manage consisting of a DLink DFL-210 firewall/router, and behind that a Dell server running openSUSE 11.2 and a collection of Windows XP/Vista/7 computers.
The Linux box is running OpenVPN as a server (that is how I connect to this network) and a client (it connects to a second server - running XP - at a different location).
The DLink router is the DHCP server and provides addresses on the 192.168.51.0/24 network. The OpenVPN server provides the 10.8.51.0/24 address range.
The remote network that the Linux box connects to is 192.168.54.0/24 via the OpenVPN network 10.8.54.0/24.
I have added routes to the DLink router to route all traffic to the 10.8.51.0/24 and 192.168.54.0/24 networks to the Linux box.
With SUSEFirewall turned off, after I have connected via OpenVPN from my remote computer I can ping all active 192.168.51.0/24 addresses. Other computers on the 192.168.51.0/24 network can ping computers on the 192.168.54.0/24 network. But if I turn on SUSEFirewall, neither of these work. However, I can ping 10.8.54.1 from any computer on the 192.168.51.0/24 network.
How can I set up SUSEFirewall to allow these networks to communicate with eachother?
i have some problems with configuring openvpn tunnel connection to my openvpn server. I'm using static-key tcp connection. Network manager always said to me that connection could not be established. Also, when i try to run openvpn from terminal, i got some strange permissions problem:

I want to configure a VPN over the Internet.I installed the 'openvpn' package, generated the key file, transfered it by a secure way to the client, and setted up the configuration file.
So, in that configuration file I input the IP addresses of the tunneled interfaces. Both IPs are static in the tunnel.
Then, I've heard somewhere that I can assign a dynamic configuration IP for the client. I do this registering a range.
Well, when I tried to change static IP to dynamic IP (changing '192.168.0.2' to '192.168.0.0/24') in the configuration file, the OpenVPN didn't work.
Obviously I don't know what I'm doing, and I really, don't believe that simply changing the IP will make it work, but I tried.
I hope I explained my problem as well.
My configuration file:
# OpenVPN Server Configuration File
dev tun 0
ifconfig 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2
cd /etc/openvpn
secret key_file
In client I execute the 'openvpn' without the '--daemon' parameter.Then I want that my client uses a IP in a range (192.168.0.0/24, for example), instead of a static IP (192.168.0.2).I also thought to use a DHCP server, but I'm not sure that will work.
i've set up an openvpn server (with dhcp running on it) and i have to create compatible clients.the problem is how to get an ip by dhcp.with ubuntu i made a script like this
/sbin/ifconfig tap0 up
/sbin/dhclient -e tap0
and everything works fine:tap0 goes up and then start a dhcp request to the server on tap0with fedora there is a nice problem i've noticed that is impossible to run dhclient later on a new interface because i receive this error "dhclient is already running".the tap0 goes up normally but i receive this error when i attempt to get an ip.is there a simple way to get an ip?if i try to kill or restart dhclient when the vpn tunnel is up,all'interfaces lost theirs ip and network goes down crashing my vpn...
It is the first time have I used VPN. I installed OpenVPN in my Fedora 11 computer. I did it following:URL...And I stopped at step 16: service openvpn start . The service can not start up. Even if I disabled Selinux . Does anyone know how to treat this trouble.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway you can configure either OpenVPN client or the system to allow connections using OpenVPN to be made to computers on the OpenVPN network using their alias rather than their IP address. This may sound blasphemous but you can in Windows. That is if the VPN network is say 10.x.0.x I could connect to Comp4 or Comp2 using Comp4 or Comp2 not 10.x.0. 4 or 10.x.0.2 or whatever IP is allocated by the OpenVPN server. If the OpenVPN server has not been restarted then it will usually allocate the same IP every time the same client connects.

View 11 Replies View RelatedThis is the first one of probably many posts as I am new to Fedora having lots of questions. This one is about the openvpn client which is used by me to connect to my company network. Thanks to the Fedora FAQ it was easy for me to set up the client and establish a connection. There is just one problem every time I open a connection I am disconnected from my local Internet. I was using openvpn on my Windows XP PC before and there was no problem keeping two Network connections, the (W)LAN and the vpn tunnel. Does anyone know how to solve this? I am utilizing the latest Fedora 11 release and configured openvpn client via the Network Manager GUI.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have (seemingly regretfully) finally upgraded my Fedora Core 7 linux machine that has served me so well for the past decade. One of the final pieces to put in place was my Openvpn config (which was running flawlessly on my FC7) which I cannot get to work.
Here are my steps.
1. Disabled SELinux
2. Added the following entry in my iptables: (although I've stopped iptables to help troubleshoot)
-A INPUT -i tap0 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i br0 -j ACCEPT
3. Yum installed openvpn and bridge-utils (btw I'm using bridging)
4. Configured my bridge-start script as such:
#!/bin/bash
# Set up Ethernet bridge on Linux
# Requires: bridge-utils
# Define Bridge Interface
br="br0" .....
5. Configured my openvpn server conf as such:
proto tcp-server
port 5990
dev tap0 .....
When I execute my bridge-start script it creates the br0 and tap0 then all connectivity vanishes (I can only ping my gateway 10.0.0.50) - internet and any other addresses time out.
i have Fedora 14 OS, i installed an openvpn, & i got a problem with it, which i get disconnected automatically after successfully logined, one of the members here (ZeroSignal ) told me to comment any lines in /etc/openvpn/anyname.conf file, which contain the word update-resolf.conf, & my problem get solved, but now after i logined to the openvpn network & after half an hour (or less sometimes) i got disconnected from the network.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed OpenVPN on my dedicated server (Fedora) in order to have full internet access for all of my WinXP clients. In case somebody is interested in the details of the OpenVPN installation, I followed this documentation: Rootserver-as-OpenVPN-Gateway. The installation runs quire nicely, I'm able to surf the net and even file-sharing programs work on the XP clients - at least to some extent. There is a slight problem though: the file-sharing programs complain that they have a "NAT problem" or that they are "Firewalled".
Most likely, this problem can be addressed by configuring remote port forwarding (RPF) on the server. The only routing rules which I've added on the server during the OpenVPN installation are these:
Code:
# initialize natting for openvpn
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 10.66.66.0/24 -j MASQUERADE
Let's assume a certain application on a client is listening on e.g. port 1234. How do I configure RPF for this port on the server side.
I had configured openvpn in my fedora 7. every thing seems ok. created all server,client certificates. and at client laptop i am using win xp. i installed vpn at client laptop n vpn is connected and client got the ip address of the range which i had defined in server.conf.
Now the problem is this that client vpn is connected and got the ip even than client not able to ping local network of my office.guys ur support n guidance needed.
I am new and I need help to install VPN. I have use yum install openvpn and I am stuck on how I can input a cert and run the VPN.
View 5 Replies View RelatedThis was working and stable on f-10 and f-11. Fresh f-12 install including openvpn, Copied /etc/openvpn/* to new system as root from working f-11 syatem. /etc/init.d/openvpn start (and stop) works as advertised HOWEVER when set to start at boot using chkconfig or Services Configuration program, openvpn does not start. I must manually start it every time. When started, it does work without error messages in the log.
I tried removing the NetworkManager-vpn module with no effect. Thought it could somehow be overriding the auto startup of openvpn at boot.
I already search in google doc about installation openvpn. Not all I got complete tutorial. When client connect to server, they got a few error.

I'm using Fedora Core 11 and the client OpenVPN on the network-manager into a segmented infrastructure. It works well.
My laptop is on a dmz wireless Zone 192.168.3.0/24 and access Internet through a firewall via a front-end zone 192.168.65.0/24 with wlan0 interface.
But my laptop can access on a back-end zone 192.168.2.0.24 to a server.
When I start the OpenVPN tunnel, I cannot access on my back-end zone because the kernel routing table is modified (all the traffic is routed through the tun vpn interface)
If I define a static route like route add -host 192.168.2.x gw 192.168.3.2 where x is my file serveur, I cannot connect to this server because the routing is make through the tun interface and not by the wlan0 who can access on is gateway
I want to know where changing the kernel routing table file to access on the Internet and on my back-end zone in a same time.
I have a problem with the Fedora 12 Network Manager - OpenVPN configuration. If I use the same configuration and manually start openvpn (as client) I get connected to the OpenVPN server and I can ping the network that I am accessing. With Network Manager - I get connected but when I try to ping is giving me "Destination host unreachable". The routing table looks similar except that when connecting with network manager is giving me on more route in table

What I do wrong in Network Manager? If I try to delete the route with xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is disconnecting the vpn connection.
I am trying to setup a VPN on my FC 12 box. Looks like getting openvpn to work behind NAT is as easy as just forwarding the ports. Do I need to forward any specific protocols (GRE, etc)? Also, can I do this with one Ethernet port (IE: RJ-45 jack), or do you recommend a second ethernet port? I could add in another PCI ethernet card if it makes it easier. Anyone know if a single ethernet jack will work or do I need two?

I'm getting a timeout error from NetworkManager when attempting to connect to my router/firewall.
Excerpt from /var/log/messages attached.
I am using a custom OpenVPN install using 7zip. It installs the program and unzips the keys and configuration files to the correct location. This is being installed by an administrator and needs to work for non admin users. Before there was an issue about not pushing the routes correctly and I am going to get around that by adding the users to the Network Config group which will allow them to add routes but not a whole lot more power. Now I am getting the error "Error opening logfile for writing C:Program FilesOpenVPNlogclient.log.
You probably don't have administrator privileges, which are necessary to run OpenVPN." Is there anyway around this? OpenVPN still works even though this error occurs so is there anyway to just turn the error off (changing verb to 0 does not work) or recompile it to ignore this error? Is there anyway to change the logging location to event viewer or another directory such as C:Users\%currentuser%OpenVPN.log (when I try to do this with log or log-append option it throws another error and doesn't work so I would prefer event viewer so there wouldn't be any permission issues).
As I reported in this bug:[URL].. root is not able to start an openvpn-connection via the "nmcli"-command to control NetworkManager, whereas my user does not run in any problems with this command. My error output when starting as root is as follows:
Code:
# nmcli con up id "my-openvpn"
Active connection state: unknown
Active connection path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/5
state: VPN connecting (need authentication) (2)
Error: Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets.
Does anybody know what to do about this strange behaviour? The vpn-secret seems to be stored in the gnome-keyring and in the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/my-openvpn simultaneously. But root cannot access any of these. Why this is important? I'm trying to set up a dispatcher-script to automatically start openvpn on eth-connection. but this does throw the exact error from above (no valid vpn secrets..).
[Code]...
