Even basic stuff doesn't work

[mzypt]

Hi,

I'm totally newbie. I just tried to configure my first VPN connection between my laptop and Home network.

Laptop is connected to Internet outside HomeLAN. I try to estasblish a VPN pipe. The idea is to connect my home LAN through Company Proxy server which allows only ports like 80-90, 8080 etc

My homenewtwork is behind router/adsl modem 192.168.1.1/24 and behind that is laptop 192.168.1.99 which OpenVPN server runs

OpenVPN IP addresses:
-- client 10.8.0.2
-- server 10.8.0.1 (the laptop with 192.168.1.99)

Okay...connection is established and I can ping client to server 10.8.0.1.
But I can't ping 192.168.1.x network inside Home LAN.

There needs to be route defined, but how can I do that. I have tried everything...and no ping.

I want to use just static.key...its so much simplier.

Client config

remote xxxx.no-ip.org
port 86
dev tap
proto tcp-client
#float
ifconfig 10.8.0.2 255.255.255.0
secret static.key
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key
push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0" <--?? doesn't work

Server

dev tap
port 86
proto tcp-server
float
#comp-lzo
#ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
secret static.key
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.0

#route 10.8.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1 <no idea of this?
keepalive 10 60
ping-timer-rem
persist-tun
persist-key


I tried to follow instructions from here
hxxp://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html


Server configuration file
dev tun
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2 <---this doesn't make any sense
secret static.key

See the IP confic after start

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.8.0.2.
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.8.0.2
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :


So I guess the correct command should be

ifconfig 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.0

Please any help appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Mark

Hi mzypt,
This Forum is for the OpenVPN module in Untangle Firewall.
Your Setup looks to be a OpenVPN stand Alone.

For generic OpenVPN Questions Use there forum on SF.net
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openvpn/support

But a tip.
If you are running the client or server on a Windows Vista or 7 System you have to run the processes as admin.
