Client & Server unable to run simultaneously

dplat

Hey,

I have an OpenVPN client tcp port 443 (to connect to a VPN service).
I also have an OpenVPN server tcp port 8080.

Each of them work OK, except if I try to enable them both >:(

What could possibly prevent a server from running when a client is, and vice versa?

Thanks!

Some other setting that is the same on both - maybe the same tunnel network has been used?

Hey Phil! How you're doin'?

Here is the server:

dev ovpns1
dev-type tun
tun-ipv6
dev-node /dev/tun1
writepid /var/run/openvpn_server1.pid
script-security 3
daemon
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
proto tcp-server
cipher AES-256-CBC
up /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup
down /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkdown
local 11.22.33.44.55

Here is the client :

Thanks!

I can't see anything obvious wrong with those. (Obviously you have cleansed the public IPs)
If you stop the server and start the client, what tunnel network does the client get from the VPN provider?

If they are both enabled, which/what exactly does not work?

and what does the routing table look like with each enabled individually, and with both enabled?

Phil,
I really don't know what happened but since I rebooted, it now works!
Sorry for the waste of time!
