Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
@Bulkley
Thanks for reply
I dont want to preconfigure my system for the vpn supplier.
I just want the default state when i would installing the open-vpn package from the apt Repositories.
The reason is, that i have big problems after the upgrade with the network connection and my dyndns providers.
So i have 2 possibliities:
1. Install from scratch
2. Install from an jessie repository with apt-get.
But i would prefer the first one due to the up to date Version

No, your best possibility is to learn to configure your VPN/network properly to work how you want (using the available package).moejoe wrote:So i have 2 possibliities:

Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
But first you said:2. Install from an jessie repository with apt-get.
Code: Select all
Debian wheezy ( raspi-version)
rasberry pi
And then if it "raspi-version", that might not really be the same as what was intended for true Debian 7 (wheezy).
So you really have the one option. Do some searches:

what are the default settings for Openvpn on Debian wheezy
The so called "default settings" are in the configuration sample files, with the install.

It's best to use the OpenVPN sample configuration files as a starting point for your own configuration. These files can also be found in ---snip-- read it all --

Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
I think you mean you find the packages are too old in Wheezy.
There's a newer version in wheezy-backports: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-backports/openvpn
or you could try to backport the Jessie version yourself. Wheezy is reaching end-of-life soon anyway, so you should start thinking about upgrading.

Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
@stevepusser
Afaik the backport doesnt support armf7 architecture which should only used if u have an ras.
And for the ras itself i havent found any backports.
So then comes the idea in my mind to get newer ovpn package over the jessie rep
Yes the upgrade ..
Thats what i did already a few times but when i made an upgrade everthing seems fine but i wasnt able to use to update my dyndns address which is only an python www call in an crontab.
I searched in the network settings and checked if any iptables rule blocks sth. But that wasnt the case. Then ive installed ddclient ansd set it up properly but this doesnt solve the problem also.
So i decided to make an rollback and get back to wheezy and going to try to install an newer openvpn version first.
If this wont work i'll get back to the upgrade one.
But in the future i want to figure out the main problem that im able to Update

Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
I believe the architecture is the current Pi is armhf, if you go by this guide: https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi
Debian does not have a "armf7" architecture at all.

@Steve, one can't count on backports for oldoldstable being maintained, most of the maintainers did not want to have to support oldoldstable backports, it was discussed on the list but you might not have seen it if you only read it when you offer some work you have done. IIRC, there won't be backport repositories for oldoldstable in the future
Of course you are correct about Wheezy itself, only supported until the end of May.

Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
Well in that case, one could backport those themselves. I used to have some armhf QEMU pbuilder setups working on my laptop, but I can't seem to create those now on a Stretch install.

this is the real issue here.stevepusser wrote:Wheezy is reaching end-of-life soon anyway, so you should start thinking about upgrading.
you MUST do this on a machine that faces the internet!
once this is done, there's most probably no more need to compile openvpn from scratch.
Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
except i need an feature for the future versions .. thats the reason why i need an futher one and may i need a newer one as jessie provides thats the reason to think about "from scratch"once this is done, there's most probably no more need to compile openvpn from scratch.
but youre right
i should try to solve the problem and get down to the root of trouble and solve the dyndns issue when the system i'll be updated.
due to the backport
here is an dissussion about that in the ras forum:

Re: Install openvpn from source which settings ?
Update:
I tried some install methods based on wheezy:
1. Install from debian backports
2. Install from raspi Jessie Repository
The following error occours during the openvpn execution :
in some discussions on the net it points out that some kernel dependencies missing could be the reason for.
So for me.... thats enough. I've installed debian stretch completely new and after a few hours everything works.
Thanks all for helping and guidance me
Great froum and awsome helpfulness here
