miro_ivanovic

Hi,

just set OpenVPN per this instruction: OpenVPN Site-to-Site Configuration Example with SSL/TLS.

On server, I have the error: [error] Unable to contact the daemon.

Open VPN Error
OpenVPN Service

When I restart [actualy when I try to start OpenVPN service this is from log file:

Triple checked instructions, all looks good to me.

@miro_ivanovic said in OpenVPN S2S [error] Unable to contact daemon:

annot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/tun1: No such file

Check the OpenVPN forum OpenVPN could not be established after upgrade to 23.01 on SG-3100

@gertjan this fixed issue for me

Updating the linker file manually fixed it for me. Run: ```

kldxref /boot/kernel

on both SG-3100

restarted OpenVPN service on both router

Thanks for quick reply.
