Title: OpenVPN - HMAC authentication failed
Post by: xiaotuzi on June 04, 2017, 10:14:38 am

Hi

I'm on 17.1.8 and have had a OpenVPN server running for about a year, however one of the certificates expired so it stopped working. I have then tried to create new certificates for the user and the server but when I export and try to connect from my phone I keep getting the error that:

Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed

(http://i68.tinypic.com/2yzew4i.jpg)

What could be wrong - I have then created new server, new user, new certificates but nothing helps.
I am exporting the package for OpenVPN connect for android.

I googled a bit but didn't seem to help me.

Any help much appreciated.
