OpenVPN issues

hobbit666

you can't ping 10.8.0.1 or 10.0.1.165?
There are few things to check:
On server, check if ip forwarding is on: cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On Windows 10, try to disable firewall and check if OpenVPN GUI is run as administrator.

Nope can't ping 10.8.0.1 or 10.0.1.165

Will check firewall and ip_forward in the morning

Should also say tried connecting with my android phone.
Again seems to connect but no ping either way

[root@openvpn ~]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1
[root@openvpn ~]#

Update the Visio Diagram as I should of mentioned the OpenVPN server is not the main gateway/router it's just a VM on the network.

@hobbit666 said in OpenVPN issues:

;comp-lzo

you have different settings for compression in server (disabled) and client (enabled) conf. I believe this could be your problem.

hobbit666

Sure I've now disabled on both still the same.

you did restart openvpn server?

Last thing that comes to my mind is to disable firewall on server (for test only) or to add

iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT

to allow all traffic coming to tun interface.

For further troubleshooting I would need log files.

My plan is to leave this for now, and pick it up again in a week when I get a Micro PC set-up that I can install at home and remote onto it and play.

At the moment I have to wait to get home with a laptop to try other things lol

Thanks for the help so far @triple9

hmmmmm hate it when this happens. Followed a different guide that looks the same (will post the link Monday), and its all working well what I've tested. I can get on the network and ping everything and RDP onto the DC via IP but not name but that's down to DNS servers I know that lol.

@hobbit666 glad to hear it works

in the server.conf try add the below parameter:

client-to-client

then restart the OpenVPN service , now all OpenVPN clients will ping each others.
