Topic: checking for open ports

port 1194 must be forwarded if you are behind a router.. if your openvpn service is up and running on SME, and your server is directly exposed to wan, you definitely don't need port-forward.

make sure service is running and listening:

Code: [Select]

netstat -napt | grep 1194

and make sure that openvpn is visible on the wan side
please post here the result of

Code: [Select]

config show openvpn

and search info for the DB PublicAccess variable

did you setup openvpn parameters via the server-manager panel?

BTW, in my previous post there was a typo.. it should be

Code: [Select]

netstat -nap | grep 1194

please post the result of

Code: [Select]

ls -la /home/e-smith/db/open*
/sbin/e-smith/db configuration show | grep openvpn

[lional]

will this work if I am behind a router, with my sme in server gateway mode

[lional]

can I download the certificates from sme to xp remotely

[lional]

I have installed the openvpn-bridge and that seems to work fine, My problem comes with teh XP client. I have chosen method one that only works on the username and password and this doesn't create any client certificates. OpenVPN on xp needs a VPN.ovpn file to start. what will the format be if I have chosen method 1
