I'm confused to say the least.....
That makes two. I've just installed openvpn here, and it should say
root@vusolo4k:~# /etc/init.d/openvpn status
Usage: /etc/init.d/openvpn {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload}
root@vusolo4k:~#
as appearently the init script doesn't have the function "status" implemented.

I've checked the kernel defconfig for the osmini, tun is implemented as an external module, so you should have that installed"
opkg install kernel-module-tun
but if that is not installed,
modprobe tun lsmod
should give an error and not show "tun" as a loaded module.

Ok i really don't want to cause any arguments here. BUT!!! I finally made some progress. I should point out I'm running ubuntu, not sure if that makes a difference anyway when i run
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
the script runs in the background. While it's running i have my new vpn ip address, however the second i kill the script it reverts to my actual ip. is there anyway of automatically running the script so I'm not dependant on running it manually?

Eh... ???
You lost me now. I thought we're talking about openvpn on an osmini running OpenPLi, not a PC running Ubuntu?
On the box afaik it uses files with a conf extension, so client.conf, not client.ovpn.
edit: yes, see https://github.com/O...vpn/openvpn#L48

ok it's failed again.
Posted Yesterday, 22:03
ok so i decided to start from scratch. I flashed my box to the current openpli version. After that i ran: opkg update then opkg upgrade and finally i ran opkg install openvpn. So far so good. Then i uploaded both the client.ovpn and auth.txt file's to the openvpn folder. Still good. then i finally ran openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn. Still okay but when i ran the final command openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn in a terminal window it stays running in the background, this gives me my fake vpn address but the second i close the openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn window it reverts back to my physical ip address. Any tips guys?

is there any way of running openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn on startup?
Posted Yesterday, 22:09
runs too
Posted Yesterday, 22:24
okay so
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
works for a while but then it keeps dropping the ip address.Can one of you even hint at where I'm going wrong?
Posted Yesterday, 22:41
ok it's been running now for almost 25 minutes without a problem EXCEPT that i need to keep the terminal i launched it from in Linux. once again is there any way of running openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn on startup?

okay so I'm obviously not gonna have any luck with this on my own. Can anyone point me in the direction of a website that might be of use to me?

So have you renamed /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn to /etc/openvpn/client.conf?
And started openvpn with
/etc/init.d/openvpn start
And checked the result in /var/log/messages?

apologies WanWizard. i posted my last message just as you posted your's i just refreshed the page so I'm only just seeing you message now. ok so i replaced the client.ovpn with client.conf
any idea what i should do next?
Posted Yesterday, 23:58
when i run : " /etc/init.d/openvpn start"
i get:
"Starting openvpn: ALREADY STARTED-> client."
but when i run "openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.conf" the konsole stays running but when i exit it i lose my vpn.

So it starts and it runs fine.
Which means that /var/log/messages can tell you what is wrong if the result is not a connection.

ok i rebooted my box and now when i run "openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.conf" it keeps telling me
970-01-01 01:04:15 TLS_ERROR: BIO read tls_read_plaintext error
1970-01-01 01:04:15 TLS Error: TLS object -> incoming plaintext read error

That indicates a certificate issue.
In your case, caused by the fact your box doesn't have the correct date (1970-01-01 is the boot time), as certificates have a validity date (from and to), the date of the box should be correct.

WHAT THE HELL!!!! there's no way in hell i would have spotted that!!! But now that you mention it it is running an hour ahead of my local (Dublin) time. It's strange, when i was flashing the box it asked for my time zone. I SPECIFIED Dublin. Is there anyway of rectifying that issue? Should i just reflash it and hope for the best?
