How do I log into OpenVPN admin?
jay2: and thats how they should be 'restored'.
ok. jay2: or rather. How I set it up in the first place. :)
oh ok :) thanks for your help. openvpn is so basicially a single config file. I normally have it set where the server only runs the config.
cool :) so if I ever need to move the server to a new network, I just remove the .ovpn from the server's home dir, move it to the new directory, then change the config file and restart? what about the client config? thats the one where you set up the user/password and ip addresses of the vpn users. thats how I did it last time also. :) ok so if I remove the config file from server home dir, I need to copy the file to /etc? the user is currently not created. jay2: the old config is still in its place. when you move it to a new location. Yes rename it to 'oldconf' or similer. make it go with you. so I just move the .ovpn to new directory, edit the config file to point to it, then do a sudo service openvpn restart. theres some special config commands that need to be run. I recall seeing one line that did all the needed stuff.
I alwyas just move the config to the new dir.
Why can't I connect to my OpenVPN?
fidel: I suggest looking for bug reports on launchpad.
Net about that version of the kernel.
k1l: you dont understand .it's a server on my office LAN/VPN which has a connection to external (non-vpn) networks available I tested the exact same config - for that version on 16.04 .and I can be connected via network-manager from the lan
fidel: hmm, did you look if there is a bug or problem with the exact way the vpn server is set up? k1l: so no difference exists when using it via nm via lan. if I use network-manager on that very same VPN server - everything works fine. thats what I want to verify :). You could make it listen at another port. and what says "grep CONFIGINET6 /boot/config-4.0-22-generic " in your actual install? how about ethtool/ethtool --set-link. lordcirth: this will only help to detect if the issue was found in the wrong configs as the nm-client is still working. fidel, true, just to rule that out. Unless I misunderstood you. fidel. k1l: I know it does contain the ip6 support. ioria: checking . k1l: (on kernel 4.9.0) mentions "iface" and "ifupdown" and some of those I assume is part of iproute.
at least according to. well I guess i'll need to read some more docs to solve this - thanks all for the help! !info avahi
How do I reset my OpenVPN admin password?
If you are a member of our paid subscriber program, you should have received an email with instructions to reset your admin password.
If you do not remember your password, you can reset it via the web interface at If you are a new customer, or if you have not been able to reset your password using the web interface, you can reset it from the command line using the following command: If you are using OpenVPN 2.0.x, you must delete the existing admin directory, then create a new one:
# rm -rf /usr/local/etc/openvpn/. # mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/openvpn/. Enter the new password twice. If you forget it, you can reset it later.
1.10.9. How do I change my username?
If you have not already done so, change your username to a more descriptive name. The username is the name of your OpenVPN client, eg, vpn. The username is what appears in your router configuration page, as well as any other OpenVPN configuration files.
In the OpenVPN configuration, under the section 'Users', enter the new username for this client. How do I set a different username for a specific OpenVPN client? If you have more than one client on the same server, you can set the username for one client by changing the file /usr/local/etc/openvpn/client. The file can be edited directly, or if you prefer, use the web interface: 11. How do I change my user's password? You should be logged in as that user (the user whose password you want to change). On the left side, click the "Change Password" tab.12. What is the difference between the 'log' and 'debug' lines?
The log and debug lines are only used when you are running OpenVPN as a daemon. In this case, the lines are printed to a log file and to standard error, respectively.
