i have SME 7.3 with OpenVPN from "http://sme.firewall-services.com/spip.php?article4"
but i found these error messages :
[root@primsvr ~]# /etc/init.d/openvpn-bridge start
Starting openvpn: Sun Jan 27 17:01:35 2008 TUN/TAP device tap0 opened
Sun Jan 27 17:01:35 2008 Persist state set to: ON
Shutting down IP masquerade and firewall rules: Done!
Enabling IP masquerading: done
[FAILED]
I had this problem too but reading the small print in the howto it says
"the vpn ip range must be outside the standard DHCP range"
Since I had DHCP switched off in my SME setup, I
imagined that sentence did not apply, but it seems that it does still
apply as described...
"It [the vpn ip range] must be in the same subnet as your local
network but out of the standard DHCP range. For example, you have a
network address of 192.168.165.0/24, the default DHCP range is from
192.168.165.65 to 192.168.165.250, you can choose the range
192.168.165.20 to 192.168.165.50 for the vpn’s clients."
I had chosen the range 192.168.165.201 through 211 but now I've chosen
20 through 30 and the Masquerading error message is fixed and I can now connect OK.
hth,
David.
