Ubuntu :: OpenVPN Connected But Not Working
Jul 5, 2010
I installed OpenVPN, placed conf, keys and certs into /etc/openvpn/. I did
Code:
sudo openvpn --conf /etc/openvpn/client.conf
And everything seemed alright, but when I actually try accessing something that I need VPN for, it doesn't work (it's the same as if I wasn't in VPN). I also tried using GOpenVPN but the results are exactly the same. I know the confs are ok as I use the exact same files on Windows 7 and everything's fine. I even disabled ufw, restated machine etc, just to be sure.

i have setup Open VPN on Ubuntu 9.04, generated the key and have it running successfully on the server end. I download the open vpn client for windows, copied over the key ca and cert file and connected to the erver. All went well and the open vpn gui said its connected to the server (green comp icon in taskbar) and it said in a ballon it assigned me an ip of 10.8.0.6 it all looks good... BUT i have no vpn access... The virtual adapted in windows is not able to pull an actual IP/gateway and such...

I have an OpenVPN setup at work, and windows clients are able to connect fine. On my dual-boot system (Windows XP 64-bit and Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit) I'm able to connect on Windows but not Ubuntu. I use the same files for each. The network manager wasn't working, so I'm doing it via the command line right now:
Below is the output (sanitized)
Code:
Does this mean it's connected? If so, I'm not able to ping anything on the remote network, not even the OpenVPN server.

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:
Code:
openvpn --config config.ovpn

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.

Often i have an active connection on the tree network with an internet dongle according networkmanager, but ping is not working and firefox and thunderbird also don't have a connection. Skype however is working at that time. (testcall to skype is working) My present solution is to disconnect and connect a couple of times again until i can ping a commonserver on the internet, and then everything is working normal. Many are stating networkmanager is buggy, is this a known bug and is it worked on or do i need to install another program. Has any of you an idea what could be going on and how to solve it, permanently. In the way it's automatically right when connecting.
My dongle is of type: Huawei E 1550 and often i have a normal connection.

I have to connect to my university's network. I was using ethernet through our router, but now I cannot do that. I recently installed the TRENDnet TEW-643PI and it works perfectly on the Windows 7 partition. Is there anyway to get the card working on Ubuntu without being connected to the internet?

I have ubuntu 10.04 installed. I have a problem when my usb IR receiver is connected, than suspend mode isn't working. System will jump into black screen and that's all. Only hard reset works. I tested this problem also on ubuntu 9.04 and situation is the same.Is there any way how to force suspend mode without "looking" on this device? Do you need any log file to trace reason of this problem ?

I have one major problem that is going to cause me to switch back to windows. My wireless network shows connected and works fine for a while but periodically stops working. It always says it is connected but sometimes stops working to where I have to disconnect and reconnect for it to start back up again.

I was trying out the fedora live cd but I couldn't get my Internet to work. When I open firefox it always said server not kind no matter what I searched or put into the address bar:
I tried many different things but none o them worked
I am able to ping m router an I'm able to login to my routers page
I am also able to login to my modems page and it says connected to the Internet
I tried restarting the modem and the router but I still got the same problem
I also tried disabling the firewall but still had the same problem
I tried a command and I was able to receive packets from google.com, but It never went through in firefox
I also tried out a torrent (I had it saved on a USB) and it worked it was downloading fine
I am able to ping googles web page but I am not able to search anything.
In firefox preferences and in network proxy I tried many different proxy settings bit none o them worked I always get the message server not found. All this was done while connected directly with Ethernet cable modem and router but untried wireless and it didn't work either on the top right corner of the screen the network icon says auto eth0 active. I'm using fedora 12 livecd.

I have a tape deck which I have connected to my sound card (REaltek AC'97 Audio, is the info I could gather) and of course when I play a tape I'd like to hear it though my sound card. Problem is, it is not working.
My info: A double boot Fedora 12/WinXP SP3 machine. Please do note that when I boot into WinXP I do not have this problem, I can hear the music fine. Further, previously and with exactly the same hardware but with FC 6 it worked! In other words by upgrading from FC 6 to Fedora 12 I lost the ability to use my sound card this way (in Linux).

my netbook (running 10.10) has recently decided to only work with my wireless for a short while after connecting. After this time, it just won't load a page at all, but remains connected to the router. Disconnecting then reconnecting to the network allows me to use the internet again, but only for a short while. This is a recent problem, and the netbook used to "just work" with wireless.

so i am about a week into using ubuntu. installed it on an old hp laptop that i pieced back together, using a broadcom wireless chip set. got all the drivers loaded and working, on any other network the notification area will display that it is connected no problem. but on my home network it will connect to the wireless but the notification icon will still look like there is no connection.
something that may be useful to know is that i originally plugged the laptop into the the router via wire to download the wireless card drivers.

I have access to a VPN I use when having confidential instant messaging sessions. For the purposes of my work, essentially.I'm a command line kind of guy, and like to use Finch (the shell version of Pidgin) for those.However, when I turn on my OpenVPN connection it routes all traffic through the VPN. Web-browsing, IMing, and I can no longer access other machines on my home network.Can I set OpenVPN to only route traffic I ask through that connection (either by port number or application, or some way I haven't thought of), while other traffic flows through my usual home network?Some kind of local proxy perhaps? Or a dd-wrt box set up as a proxy, connected to OpenVPN?I've played around with the GUI environment too (I have a basic GUI I sometimes use on my main machine) and have installed the full desktop 10.10 on a second machine just to see if I can work it out.

I have set up OpenVPN Server on a VM (Ubuntu 10.10) running virtualbox bridged to the host. Everything is working fine excepts the fact that I cant seem to be able to assign internal IP (VPN Server) to client connecting. Let me explain: All my clients are connecting and accessing the internet without any issue. Where I have an issue is that all my clients come out the other way on the internet with my server ip address which kind of defeat the purpose. Is there a way (keeping in mind that I am running the server in a VM) to have all my clients accessing the internet with an IP provided by the VPN Server?

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
