| Post subject: | Connecting to OpenVPN with Ubuntu Karmic |
Followed this guide on my server: I have all the files in the right places, imported my client.conf into network manager in ubuntu (after installing network-manager-openvpn on the pc), and I have set my client VPN keys, certs, and the ca.crt on my client chmod 0776. When I go to connect, I am getting a 'Connection to the VPN timed out' error. My laptop is wirelessy connecting to my router, and I have put my laptop in the Demilitarized zone of my router. My /var/log/syslog is below: Mar 2 17:41:59 adam-laptop NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' just appeared, activating connections Mar 2 17:41:59 adam-laptop NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 1 Mar 2 17:41:59 adam-laptop NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 3 Mar 2 17:41:59 adam-laptop NetworkManager: <info> VPN connection 'Techo VPN 2' (Connect) reply received.

You really don't want your key to be so permissive - I think 0600 is more correct. |
