I need to run a 2nd instance of openvpn on my server so that it can run on udp. The current one runs on tcp and I need to keep that running. Apparently, I need to create a 2nd tun network for it to use - how can I do that? I tried starting a 2nd instance of openvpn but it just seems to hang.
View 1 Repliesi 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:

"Road Warriors" need to be able to access websites through openSUSE box sitting in the data center, from remote locations (hotel, coffe shops, wi-fi hot spots,..)We're half way there but it gets stucked somewhere with the IP's
View 6 Replies View Relatedhow can i make openvpn to access my entire office lan network through linux firewall.
how can i allow remote client with (private ip)to access my entire ofice network through linux firewall
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 have the following problem:I have to networks in remote places.I have an opnvpn client in one network that connects to the the router (openvpn server).My question is,can i connect the network where the openvpn client is,throught the computer with the client to the other network.If yes,how? (please make it an idiot proof anwser because i have limited knowledge about iptables). I was thinking like forwarding (the router in the network with the openvpn client is also firewalling with iptables) the request of the ip class of the openvpn network to the computer with the client,which masquarades the interface

I use KVpnc and openVPN to connect to my desktop at work from my laptop at home. This works fine, I can reach my desktop at the office from my laptop at home. The only problem is that when the Vpn connection is active I cannot use a browser on my laptop. In fact, I cannot connect to anything outside the office Vpn (like mail, chat etc).
I suspected it had something to do with the DNS servers at the office not being reachable from the Vpn so I added my "regular" DNS servers to the /etc/resolve.conf used when the Vpn is active, I added two lines in total on the form "nameserver <ip-address>". This did not solve the problem. I have searched the KVpn forums without finding anything, and the same goes for the openSUSE forums. Does anybody else experience the same problem?
after I upgraded my SUSE 11.0 to 11.1 many problemes solved themselves. But now there is a new one.
I use openvpn, which always used to work without problems. After upgrading to SUSE 11.1 there is the error message:
"/etc/openvpn/client-suse.sh: line 7: modify_resolvconf: command not found

I can't get my openvpn work if the firewall is on , and I also don't see any option to allow openvpn service in firewall allow service.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have freshly installed OpenSUSE 11.3 64 bit and reimported my old openvpn connections via Network Manager. Connection can be established fine, but after 3 to 6 seconds (pings) it will stop to receive any packets on the tun device.
I tried disabling the firewall, starting openvpn manually, no avail. I checked the message log and the openvpn output, no messages recorded.
A couple of weeks ago I was using openvpn with a provider of PVNs on a home wifi network with no problems.I had installed openvpn using apt-get install and downloaded theopvn PVN files from the organization.erything worked fine.I would type sudo openvpn nameoffile.ovpn and then add my username and password during the installation process.However, when I try to do the same on an Ethernet network, the installation work fines (as above) and informs me that everything is connected (same as on the home Wifi network) but Firefox and all other software cannot connect to anything on the Internet.I contacted the organization who said the DNS was a problem and I needed to install resolvconf then modify each .opvn file using up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf and down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-confcauses the installation to hang because it does not like openvpn pointing to an external file.Irrespective of the problem I have with this "solution", previously I could use openvpn without modifying the .ovpn files. It just worked! I wonder if anyone knows why using the exact same configuration on an Ethernet network (which I have not used before with openvpn) is causing problems
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've seen this issue and it never seems to get resolved maybe this time I can find a fix.I'm currently using ubuntu 11.04 although i've had this issue since 10.04 and 10.10When using openvpn in windows it works perfectly fine but when using openvpn on ubuntu that's a completely different story I import my .ovpn file from clearos it loads the keys just fine but when it tries to connect it say's "no valid vpn secrets"
On clearos it gives you 3 certs and a .ovpn file the file sets it to use password with tls certs but it still comes up with this error, i've been quite stumped and it would be nice to possibly shed some light on this so I can finally get ubuntu to work with openvpn if possible.
I have a network that consists of a few desktop machines, laptops, and two Internet connected linux servers. The Linux servers are the gateways, routers, and firewalls for my desktop and laptop machines.Whenever I'm away from home; I can connect to my home machines over the Internet by first ssh'ng (technically I use Webmin; because my firewall on each Linux servers blocks ssh from the Internet.) to one of the linux servers and then ssh'ng to the desired machine on my home network.
This works fine for my home linux machines. But not my Windows machines.I'd like to be able to rdp or rdesktop to my Windows machines.Will OpenVPN allow me to accomplish this ?
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'm trying hard to run an openvpn server on a openvz VPS, the problem is packets sent from openvpn server process, doesnt reach the client, so connection is never stablished (I run tcpdump on server and wireshark on client to carefully investigate whats wrong), the first guess is that a kind of firewall is blocking traffic (I tried connecting to server through different ISP's but it's possible the national network provider applied some filtering but it cant be on IP,src port or dst port as I'd tried different configuration.
what about deep packet inspection technics, is it possible to block my traffic?) but at exactly the same time I can transmit UDP packets using netcat from server to the guest. there is no firewall enabled in between, I had tried, tcp and udp, tried both open vpn and openvpnAS and tried any thing one can imagine! the VPN is configured as a routed (TUN) type on debian

my tablet can receive ip, can see ftp on server but can't see anything in my home network.
I have setup my laptop to connect to a VPN server running openvpn.
This works fine if I from the client, start OpenVPN from the terminal. /etc/init.d/openvpn start
It then asks for a password for the certificate, which is should.
I have then installed the OpenVPN option for the Gnome network manager (network-manager-openvpn), so I could use the nm-applet for this, instead.
But it seems to be that there is a little bug, so I does not prompt me for the certificate password, OR use the password this is actually set for the certificate. (kinda irritating)
I get the following error on on the client.
nm-openvpn[2936]: ERROR: could not read Private Key username/password/ok/string from management interface
It seems like an very old bug, I tried the following without any luck (Yes I noticed it was for Ubuntu). [url]

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 am trying to connect to an OpenVPN connection using the gnome-network manager. I'd like to point out that using the configuration file in /etc/openvpn works perfectly but I have no way of knowing if the connection has dropped. When I set up the connection in the nm it connects for a few seconds then fails. The /var/log/messages file shows this:

It's been a while since I meant to resolve this emacs-related issue when installing basically any package.
Since I really need network-manager-openvpn, I decided to finally try and ask.
This is a known bug I believe, with no fix if I understand well. My question is: is there a way to go around it (instead of fixing it)
Here it goes : when installing a package (in this case, network-manager-openvpn), emacs gets in the way like this:
Code:
And the package is not installed.
I have already tried uninstalling emacs. Doesn't work...
I successfully installed openvpn and networkmanager openvpn plugin. Then I successfully added a PPTP vpn connection by networkmanager vpn tab which name is "vpn1". But now I don't know how to connect to this PPTP vpn connection. I tried bellow command but no luck.

I followed this tutorial => https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN
I'm working on ubuntu 10.10 OS
So everything is ok when i start the tutorial with my interface on code...
The only way I can make it work again is by setting the interfaces back to
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
>> then reboot
and after that put back the br0 settings in the interfaces en restart the network.
What client can I use on a MAC to connect to an openvpn server?
All the client s seem to use password connections whereas the openvpn server uses certificates.
