Title: Open VPN connexion issue
Post by: thibodude on October 24, 2021, 12:30:09 AM
Hi, I tried everything I could: Read the road warrior topic bu I dont wanna buy the Viscosity client for several users... I want to use the OpenVPN Connect free client.
I Listened a lot of videos on YouTube but I always fails.
Packet monitor shows UDP port 1194 coming in but no respond at all.
Firewall rule on WAN is listening for UDP 1194.
Firewall rule OpenVPN is there and active
VPN: OpenVPN: Servers is eabled
User and server certificates are available and configured
I exported the ovpn profile and imported it into the openVPN client
The OpenVPN connect client always timeout !
Can someone help me with that basic setup please ?

Thanks in advance !

You can run the client in the foreground with openvpn <config file>

That usually gives a good hint where it is failing
