Timing out trying to connect to server
Hello All.
I just installed and configured a Turnkey Linux server. I created the .ovpn file and successfully downloaded it to my ipad.
I have the eth0 interface setup to my local lan and can connect to the web portal via an internal IP (http://10.0.0.100). I have also configured the eth1 interface with one of our external IP addresses, but noticed that in the configuration of this the default gateway is not taking.
When I try to connect with the OpenVPN client, it times out every time.
I feel like I am missing something simple but cannot seem to figure out where the disconnect is.
What am I missing?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Reply 1Figured it out
Reply 2OK,
I reinstalled Turnkey Linux and set it to Gateway insetead of Server and now I can connect.
I setup the local IP on a 192.168.1.0/24 subnet but I am not able to connect to our LAN that is on a 10.0.0.0/22 subnet. I am assuming that I need to do some routing magic to make this work.
I will consider this post closed and search the forum to see what, if any, solutions may be out there.
If I do not find any I will create a new post for that issue.
Thanks.

I noticed that the OpenVPN server fails on boot. I think this might have something to do with my problem.
When I try to strat the service it keeps failing.
What do I need to do to get the OpenVPN service running at boot and stay running?
Thanks.
