OpenVPN - I can't connect

[ErikIvaN]

Install openvpn I saw on the forum but it gives me error when connecting, anyone can help me install or otherwise fix the error. It is ubuntu 14.04.01 Lts, sorry I'm not good for English

Can you provide the specific error you are getting when trying to connect?

Have you confirmed the openvpn process is running, and listening on the correct port?

162.248.88.85:1164

Error 868 No se realizó la conexión remota porque no se resolvió el nombre del servidor de acceso remoto.

This tool reports that the port you are using is closed: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Are you using windows or linux? Have you confirmed that the process is actually running, and not restricted by any firewall?

While OpenVPN is running, try running this command:

netstat -lp | grep 1164

It should return the PID of openvpn to confirm that the process is running and listning on the correct port.

If not, check any logs that openVPN creates for potential errors.

hm are you sure you are typing the netstat command in correctly? This is what I am shown when doing it on my linux VDS for the port my COD4 server is on:

[ErikIvaN]

Yes im sure the command is correct

[ErikIvaN]

root@fastwolf:~#: command not found
root@fastwolf:~# netstat -lp | grep 1164

Port 1164 is closed on 162.248.88.85.

Check for any logs OpenVPN generates(I am not sure where they would be, or if you have to enable them through configs, I have never used it), and look for errors.

Confirm the process is running using:

ps aux | grep vpn (this should work if the process name is openvpn).

If you don't see a resulting line here, the process isn't running.

You'll need a firewall running for it to work right.

I really recommend running the install script mentioned in http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... 46&t=11034, as it does everything for you.
