      Had another setup of openvpn where i need to authenticate vpn clients using a remote free radius server. Location A has openVPN server, location B has freeradius with daloradius as the front end.

      Issue, is after making all config changes, when I try to connect to openvpn from the client, it asks for user/pass, entered daloradius username and pass. Openvpn then shows the logs as below:

      Tue Jul 7 09:01:12 2015 RADIUS-PLUGIN: Packet was not sent.
      Tue Jul 7 09:01:12 2015 RADIUS-PLUGIN: Got no response from radius server.
      Tue Jul 7 09:01:12 2015 Error: RADIUS-PLUGIN: BACKGROUND AUTH: Auth failed!.

      I checked almost all forums but didnt find any solution yet. ML's please help! 🙂

        Since the radius server was running on UDP, i used nmap and found that all ports required are listening. Plus ufw is disabled as well just to make sure.

            What kind of authentication is the daloradius / freeradius back-end using?

            Can you test the authentication to the freeradius server from another server at Location B?

              Not too much Ubuntu here.

                Not sure how to answer that, daloradius is just a web based front end of freeradius to manage users. What I think is for some reason the ovpn server is not communicating with dalo server.

                @scottalanmiller its ubuntu which is my issue too. I am so comfortable with centos, and ufw firewall is something new to me. Not even sure if this thing is enabled or disabled! 🙂
