Connecting to server through OpenVPN

Post by Takeoff »

Trying to connect through the OpenVPN client and it will either just stay connecting for long periods of time or connect and my IP will still be the same, I did the setup through Putty following the guide and have the config file and stuff. If i try to connect with the IP and login it says my credentials are wrong or gives me a DNS error. Help would be greatly appreciated.

In your ovpn file, please check for a line that starts with "remote" and make sure that the address there goes to your VDS hosted with us.

An example of what the line should look like if you used default settings in the OpenVPN setup:

Code: Select all

# The hostname/IP and port of the server.
# You can have multiple remote entries
# to load balance between the servers.
remote VDS.IP.GOES.HERE 1194
;remote my-server-2 1194
