You are here
I recently found out that their was an image of Turnkey OpenVPN, so i installed it on a VPS and everything was running fine.
I created a user with the
openvpn-addclient client-name client-email [private-subnet]
That worked well, but i needed to restart the openvpn service, but after that it refuses to start up.
Syslog tells me:
ovpn-server[4063]: Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/server.conf:37: route (2.2.1)
So I checked the server.conf and this is the outcome:
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
comp-lzo
keepalive 10 120
persist-key
persist-tun
user nobody
group nogroup
chroot /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/crl.jail
crl-verify crl.pem
ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
dh /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/dh1024.pem
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ta.key 0
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.key
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.crt
ifconfig-pool-persist /var/lib/openvpn/server.ipp
client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/server.ccd
status /var/log/openvpn/server.log

It is the last line which syslog refers to...so i guess i needed to fill in the [private-subnet], but to be honest, i don't know what i need to fill in there.
Is there someone with some network knowledge who can point me to the right direction? I know it is the standard network knowledge i need to know, but i was always bad in this :( so i deeply apologize for this.
After some reading i have
After some reading i have added
to the last line. I can connect now, but i have no internet. But if i use an IP it works, so i guess DNS were not properly set, so i set this in server.conf
But that didn't do the trick. So i guess i have misconfigured something. Syslog gives me these errors:
So i don't know how to handle this anymore. Any suggestions?
Sorry I'm slow to reply
But the truth of the matter is that beyond moral support there actually isn't a lot I can offer sorry. I am not really up with OpenVPN (or VPNs in general really). All I can really recommend is either re-reading the TurnKey documentation and/or having a bit of a read through the official docs... Also OpenVPN have their own forums. You'll probably find more people that are familiar with OpenVPN there. FWIW the TurnKey appliance use the Debian OpenVPN package (which is v2.2.1).
