OpenVPN configuration Virtual Address - Service not running

[fortis]

Hello All!
I'm having issues with setting up openvpn on netgate sg3100. I had no issues to set it up on the systems I build but looks like it works different on netgate. After running Wizard for OpenVPN I have no client export configuration nor if I go to Status -> OpenVPN it shows that virtual address -service not running.
Can someone help me with it?
Thank you in advance,
Stan

Did you install the OpenVPN Client Export package? It's not installed by default.

[fortis]

I just did :( My bad, totally forgot it, but server is still not running. It created OPT4 interface that I don't know what should I do with.

[KOM]

So what happens if you manually start it? Anything in the System log?

[fortis]

nothing on the logs, but it fails.

[KOM]

And the System log? I can't remember if there is a separate OpenVPN tab for events or not. I have to leave but I'll check in tomorrow morning.

[fortis]

Thank you KOM!
Yes, there's a separate one for OpenVPN but shows any installation logs

[Rico]

Set Verbosity level to 4
Then check Status > System Logs > OpenVPN

Yes, try @Rico's suggestion and then check the log for details. Maybe it's choking on a weird config? You might also try deleting everything and starting again.

Thank you guys!
Here's what I have under OpenVPN logs:

I did try to delete everything and re-do everything over, but with the same results :(

@fortis said in OpenVPN configuration Virtual Address - Service not running:

Jul 27 18:19:50 openvpn 38312 Options error: --server directive network/netmask combination is invalid

Well yeah that not going to work ;)

[fortis]

Thank you for reply!
What am I doing wrong on setting it up? I just follow wizard.

[Derelict]

What, exactly, did you put in the wizard fields?

[KOM]

More specifically, what did you enter for Tunnel Network and Local Network? Those have to be networks and not single IP addresses.

[fortis]

I chose local user access
CA and Server certificate
interface WAN
UDP on IPv4 only
Local port default 1194
tunnel settings I have network with mask 10.x.10.1 /24 and I put tunnel network with mask 10.x.50.1 /24
client settings: dynamic IP checked, topology - subnet one ip address per client
dns 8.8.8.8

[fortis]

Thank you for pointing to my error!!!
I changed 10.x.50.1/24 to 10.x.50.0/24 and it works now!

[KOM]

No, its still wrong. Tunnel and Local can't be the same network. If your LAN is really 10.x.50.0/24, then make your tunnel network something else like 10.x.60.0/24 or 192.168.0.0/24.

By the way, you don't need to obscure private IP space since it isn't routable from the Internet.

[fortis]

I'm sorry... typo
my local network is 10.x.10.0/24
Thank you very much for your help guys!
I really appreciate it :)
