Hello. I want to use the OpenVPN server that I have on my server. On windows/android, I just need to launch the GUI and import the *.openvpn file. Now I do not know what to do.
I'm using openvpn-openrc. I tried pasting the conf file from https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OpenVPN#Client_side but it didn't work:
* Starting openvpn ...
2022-09-07 22:59:30 WARNING: Compression for receiving enabled. Compression has been used in the past to break encryption. Sent packets are not compressed unless "allow-compression yes" is also set.
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/bin/openvpn'
* Check your logs to see why startup failed [ !! ]
* WARNING: openvpn has started, but is inactive
The logs are empty.
For reference i'll paste my openvpn.conf:
# tun/tap device
dev tun0
# protocol, according to server
proto udp
# server address
remote address.to.server 12112
# connection
comp-lzo
resolv-retry 30
nobind
# persistent device and keys
persist-key
persist-tun
# keys settings
ca example/ca.crt
cert example/client1.crt
key example/client1.key
# optional tls-auth
# tls-auth exmaple/ta.key 1
# pull dns settings from the server
script-security 2
# These scripts are defaults within the service script. To specify custom scripts,
# use /etc/openvpn/${SVCNAME}- {up,down}.sh as suggested by the service script.
# If you use systemd, SVCNAME will not get set automatically.
# Add `setenv SVCNAME my_svc_name` to set it, where my_svc_name is determined by
# /etc/openvpn/client/my_svc_name.conf
#up /etc/openvpn/up.sh
#down /etc/openvpn/down.sh
# logging
log /etc/openvpn/openvpn.log
verb 4
#auth
auth-user-pass ~/Synced/****.openvpn
How do I get it to work?
