    Unhappy OpenVpn will not start

    Hi,

    I read the tutorial and installed OpenVpn via ipkg on my wl500gpv2.

    My problem is that I cannot start openvpn:

    [user@WL500gpv2 sbin]$ /opt/sbin/openvpn
    -sh: /opt/sbin/openvpn: not found
    [user@WL500gpv2 sbin]$ ls -l /opt/sbin/openvpn
    -rwxr-xr-x 1 user root 769724 Feb 22 05:12 /opt/sbin/openvpn

    What could be the problem???

    Hi,
    thanks for this tutorial! but i have a problem with it. When i trying to connect from Xp client outside the router, the client do not connect to the router:
    Code:
    Wed Mar 31 14:41:00 2010 OpenVPN 2.0.9 Win32-MinGW [SSL] [LZO] built on Oct  1 2006
    Wed Mar 31 14:41:00 2010 IMPORTANT: OpenVPN's default port number is now 1194, based on an official port number assignment by IANA.  OpenVPN 2.0-beta16 and earlier used 5000 as the default port.
    Wed Mar 31 14:41:00 2010 TAP-WIN32 device [tun0] opened: \\.\Global\{CEA93030-2985-4747-B3D3-4267FB40C32B}.tap
    Wed Mar 31 14:41:00 2010 Notified TAP-Win32 driver to set a DHCP IP/netmask of 10.8.0.2/255.255.255.252 on interface {CEA93030-2985-4747-B3D3-4267FB40C32B} [DHCP-serv: 10.8.0.1, lease-time: 31536000]

    Wed Mar 31 14:41:00 2010 UDPv4 link remote: **.**.**.**:1194
    I tryng to telnet **.**.**.** 1194 and there is no answer

    Подключение к **.**.**.**...Не удалось открыть подключение к этому узлу, на по
    рт 1194: Сбой подключения
    I think that may be a port 1194 is not opened...
    Please help!)

    By the way, I don't think working on the samba server on the router will help you - in theory you don't even need samba running on your router to access samba on computers in your workgroup.

    You need to route the traffic between tun0 and eth0 interfaces. Use iptables.

    Question

    1. Are the red lines necessary? There is nothing similar in other openvpn tutorials.
    Code:
    iptables -I INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -I FORWARD -o tun0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -I OUTPUT -o tun0 -j ACCEPT
    2. How can I reload firewall rules (on the fly) without rebooting correctly?

    How? This way?

    Code:
    iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i vlan1 -p udp --dport 1194 -j DNAT --to-destination 192.168.1.1:1194
    better -I or -A?

    Hi,

    Tried to follow the tutorial exactly, didn't work. Then I tried to tweak the post-firewall rules, yet no matter what I'm doing, I keep getting:
    Code:
    xxx.dyndns.org isn't responding on port 1194 (openvpn)
    when scanning the 1194 port
    And yes, I am able to eg. ssh into my router with the given dyndns host.
    Conclusion: I don't know how to open the 1194 port for the OpenVPN client to even start doing transactions. Please, help.

    "I" or "A"? It depends on the policy of the table. More on Google.

    How to route between tun0 and eth0? What about Googling for a bit only?

    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=607519

    Just in case the link above gets broken:

    Code:
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i tun0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -t filter -A FORWARD -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.3.2 -j MASQUERADE
    I have not tried it my self so I can not confirm if it works. I guess 192.168.3.2 should be replaced by the tun0 IP address.

    If firewall rules and the notes given and the end of the rules do not help to open the port, you should take a look at the policy you have on the INPUT and PREROUTING tables to see if it is "I" (insert) or "A" (append) the parameter to use on the rules.

    On the other hand "isn't responding on port 1194" does not imply the port is not open. It implies there is no service responding to the request on port 1194; reasons can be multiple, e.g. no service behind the port, closed port, etc.

    PLEASE HELP!!!

    Adding --float to client.ovpn solved the problem.


    I'm trying to connect to OpenVPN for days now and i keep getting this error
    Code:
    TCP/UDP: Incoming packet rejected from 192.168.18.254:1194[2], expected peer address: 79.112.107.146:1194 (allow this incoming source address/port by removing --remote or adding --float)
    .
    I would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

    post-firewall looks like this
    Code:
    #!/bin/sh
    # this opens the ssh port to internet! Be sure to have strong passwords!
    iptables -I INPUT -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A INPUT -p udp --sport 1194 --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -A OUTPUT -p udp --sport 1194 --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
    
    #OpenVPN access from WAN
    iptables -D INPUT -j DROP
    iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i eth1 -p udp --dport 1194 -j DNAT
    --to-destination 192.168.18.254:1194
    iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
    
    iptables -I INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -j ACCEPT
    iptables -I FORWARD -o tun0 -j ACCEPT

    Hi Csali, I had the same problem and could find reason for long time. By I found the solution. The problem is in uClib library, which is to be installed explicitly with IPKG http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=8205.

    openvpn mktun gives segmentation fault

    I did ipkg update+upgrade and now openvpn is just messed up. openvpn mkturn gives a segmentation fault error.

    I looked around on the web and found that the problem lies with an update to openssl and it is suggested to go back to an earlier version. I have no idea how to do this. Can someone help?

    Thanks.

    Well, I fixed the problem by removing both packages and re-installing it. Detailed steps follow:

    1) ipkg remove openvpn
    2) ipkg remove lynx (I had to do this as lynx requires openssl)
    3) ipkg remove openssl
    4) reboot router (I believe this step is very important as openssl would not install till I rebooted the router)
    5) ipkg upgrade
    6) ipkg update
    7) ipkg openssl
    8) ipkg openssl-dev
    9) ipkg openvpn
