OpenVPN Issue 386.1_beta3

[Eric Lieb]

Running 386.1_Beta 3 on an AC86U and constantly getting

Export OpenVPN configuration file	Initialinzing the settings of OpenVPN server now, please wait a few minutes to let the server to setup completed before VPN clients establish the connection.

Router currently has an uptime of 10 days 22 hours 11 minutes 0 seconds ... so been "a few minutes".

Not sure if this is related to my DDNS Webui SSL Cert being stuck at "authorizing" status.

Yet again...


It seems to randomly not start working

@RMerlin looks like a problem with the openvpn server starting up after reboot. Anyway to get any easy openvpn reboot button? Toggling it off and on seems to fix this initialization.

 

[Matt Hettermann]

The scMerlin add-on has individual VPN client and server restart options, both command line and via the web interface ...

@Eric Lieb, do you have different ports for each server? Maybe try something in the 50000 range and higher?

Check your System Log, it will tell you what is failing.

That reports a connection attempt, which would indicate your server is already running.

Ya that is the only thing that showed up in the system log related to ovpn.
