having issues connecting to OpenVPN from Linux Lite
-
i have created an openvpn server with the wizard
i have created a test user
I have password protected the cert
I have downloaded the bundle archive
I had no trouble so far
total time 3 minutes more or less
this was linux-lite-5.0-64bit live without any update or additional package -
@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 2.3.10ill re try your pictures
its gotta be cuz its old 32 bit version as the computer is a 32bit process not 64maybe 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 -
@comet424
You obviously are trying to connect using a Viscosity file again.
Not able to give help for that. Sorry. -
@comet424
try with the pictures.
regardless .. it's time to drop 32bit -
well what i ment i said with the viscosity
is i only retried it again and it worked loading no errors when i did the Check box for 2.3 and under in the i was just re trying it all after you mention it was too old the openvpn and i couldnt update it to neweras the pics ya didnt work.. still spins and lock image..
ill just have to forget the openvpn on the 32 bit computer and just use the linux as is..
i was repurpsing Old Dell Serverscant win them all lol
i appreciate all the help.. guess the 32 just doesnt work lol
-
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/openvpnif there is another location openvpn log files or the vpn log files are stored
other then in the syslog it seems -
you need to check the log on pfsense
Status / system logs / openvpn -
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 isso 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
-
hmac when you use a wrong shared-secret key
in any case
I can't think on anything else if it's not selinux / apparmor or iptables it's because it's too old -
ah ok thats what i guess'd because the linux lite is a 32bit version and maybe the ubuntu.. i got these dell servers and i couldnt afford to build my son a computer prices went up for certain parts even 2x4s gone up 300 percent damn pandemic
but figured since it couldnt run windows 10 i get linux and then he could connect to my network.. but guess cant but least the linux lite will connect to the internet.. Windows XP doesnt seem to connect anymroe so i scrapped that ..
these were super computers back in the day lol
