      i dont know how to get the the version of openvpn
      it came with linux lite

      You will find the version in the NetworkManager log.
      /var/log/NetworkManager

      @comet424 said in having issues connecting to OpenVPN from Linux Lite:

      and how should the gateway be i read some go

      The host name or the IP only. The port and the protocol is to be set in the advanced options.

        so there is no network manger folder or file.. there is a sys log.. and i grabbed this at the bottom as it always times out
        i tried to copy log file to a text file and then post it here but notepad cant read a text file from linux it seems but here is a screen shot of the last bit... it just spins
        maybe i got something not set right.. not sure what all to set... i checked off the 2 checks under advanced... but all its doing is spin lock spin lock spin lock in bottom right... and the pop up tells me it times out..
        internet works. network works, if i use windows same network, it connects to pfsense openvpn.. so server is working
        openbad.PNG openbad2.PNG
        openbad3.PNG

          So your LInux uses OpenVPN 2.3.10 as shown in the screenshot. That's a very old version and it's not capable of some current features of the pfSense OpenVPN.
          That would be the reason for the config file import to fail. To configure the client manually won't help here, the connection will fail anyway.
          You should get a new client version.

          If you want to connect with that client, you may have to downgrade some settings of your OpenVPN server and reconfigure all your clients. Alternatively you may setup an additional server on another port for 2.3 clients.
          Settings you may have to change for 2.3:
          TLS Key Usage Mode: TLS Authentication
          Encryption Algorithm: AES-xxx-CBC
          Enable NCP: uncheck
          Compression: disable or LZO
          No IPv6 tunnel or networks

              Any 2.4.x client will be compatible with current pfSense.

                  @viragomann sorry for the delay
                  so i did your setups i also checked off box in client export for clients 2.3 and less.. i did save and imported like you mention
                  it still wont connect.. i also tried that link i posted up about the viscoisty bundle with the 2.3 clients and that also finally imported all the settings fine..
                  but when connecting still does the spininig then Lock spinning Lock
                  i tried the Private PVs12 password and no password.

                  i looked in the /var/logs there is not networkmanager but there is a syslog.. i dont know how much to copy and paste.. but i copied some of the system log maybe it tells you whats wrong.. only selected some of it. as i did try things on and off check boxes ..
                  maybe its not able to access my domain name,, you cant post sys log your spam bot doesnt let you says i have illegal charactors or something.... so not sure
                  is there a way to export the OpenVPN logs to its own file

                      @comet424 said in having issues connecting to OpenVPN from Linux Lite:

                      174.94.31.185:1194

                      are you sure the server is running and reacheable on the other side?

                      or you have something wrong on your client as packet with incorrect HMAC signature will be discarded without response by the server

                        it connects fine with Android cell phone (on LAN, and Cell network, and from Home depot wifi)

                        on my Windows 10 LAN it connects fine with the openvpn client app

                        and for both the android and the windows desktop i use the Inline Clients most clients

                        the only thing i have checked off in the export client right now is
                        Use Random Local PortUse a random local source port (lport) for traffic from the client. Without this set, two clients may not run concurrently.

                        as i wanted to be logged in if another user landon logs in. as it says its for 2 or more clients
                        and not sure what the HMAC is ill have to google that
                        and neither Linux Lite or Ubuntu will work.. Ubuntu Logs would post in here but the Linux Lite lots wouldnt your spam filter said the logs text was no good

                            @kiokoman could you try that again with older version
                            i thought i was running version 5 but because the one computer is older it wasnt installing i had to find a 32bit version
                            the one i currently using is
                            Linux Lite 3.8
                            Release 16.04
                            codename xenial
                            and the openvpn is version 2.3.10

                            ill re try your pictures
                            its gotta be cuz its old 32 bit version as the computer is a 32bit process not 64

                            maybe its time to drop 32 bit systems
                            now i need to see if my ubuntu is the 32 bit version too maybe thats why not working i dunno its all i can think of

                              You obviously are trying to connect using a Viscosity file again.
                              Not able to give help for that. Sorry.

                                    ok .. not very clear .. but if you were able to load the config and it spin go check the log of the openvpn server and see if there is something that tell you what's wrong

                                      cant.. it doesnt create a openvpn log file just what i showed in the syslog file for openvpn

                                      no openvp under
                                      /var/logs
                                      /etc/networkmanager
                                      /etc/openvpn

                                      if there is another location openvpn log files or the vpn log files are stored
                                      other then in the syslog it seems

                                          i cleared the log as i was connecting with windows machine etc

                                          0 logs from connecting from linux lite.. its like its not getting out to the internet but it has internet
                                          i even did a manual ip address
                                          192.168.0.200
                                          255.255.255.0
                                          192.168.0.1 (gateway)
                                          1.1.1.1 (changed from 192.168.0.1) dns as i figured maybe the 192.168.0.1 dns was the issue. the dns name gateway <mydns.com>:1194:udp the dyndns name is up to doate.. its just not getting outside
                                          i didnt check what a HMAC error is

                                          so the pfsense has 0 logs since the linux isnt even reaching the router.. yet Windows and the android phone works fine go figure lol technology is great when it works. and when it doesnt you always curse at it lol
