Cannot connect to OpenVPN. I need it to work.

[igork]

Hello,

I am trying to configure OpenVPN (Host to VPN). Based on the documentation, there is not much to do. I enabled the server. Downloaded zeroshell.ovpn file and CA.pem file.

I have two computers that I used with my previous firewall, so all I had to do it just replace files in config folder with new files.

When I try to connect, it asks me about user name and password and, after that, I have the following:

And continues with last three lines forever.

There is nothing else in documentation. I also use it as a router and firewall. I configured firewall to connect to my web server, and I tried the same configuration to point it to my VPN interface, but it did not help. Because my web server works, and I configured rule for OpenVPN port exactly the same way, I am sure the problem is not the rule. But, who knows…..

I am new to ZeroShell and I really need help. I need VPN to work, or I will not be able to use it. Please help.

Version of ZeroShell is 3.4.0

Are you sure that the TCP 1194 is correctly forwarded to ZS ? And what about the ZS’s firewall rules, INPUT ? Also, the logs on ZS’s side, VPN99_H2L ?

You were right, I had a typo in a rule, and I can connect now.

Thank you for your reply.
