So not sure the issue can be attributed to the openvpn upgrade or not, but the change appears to be some lines removed from /lib/systemd/system/openvpn-server@.service I had followed instructions from https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_12&p=openvpn&f=1 https://www.server-world.i...

ta, some of the posts I found suggests that those messages can be ignored and I suspect so as another laptop that used to work as a client that longer does, itself does not cause any of those MULTI: bad source address from client [], packet dropped messages to appear in the log yet still has same ne...

marked as Solved, though slightly reticent as not quite sure what was cause as such. I was attempting to follow a number of different instructions and none seem to progress quite as expected according to each instructions .... n

Please, verify that your Debian Bookworm installation is up to date; see this other discussion: Got to laugh, it was the bringing up to date that appears to have broken it. link [Solved] Issues with kernel 6.1.0-15-amd64/stable 6.1.66-1 appears to be not valid ... But I would point out as per the d...

so here is redacted and truncated copies of dmesg and openvpn log from the server dmesg [ 0.000000] microcode: microcode updated early to revision 0xf4, date = 2023-02-23 [ 0.000000] Linux version 6.1.0-16-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12 (Debian 12.2.0-14) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils...

Hi, before I start trying to descend into the myriads of logs etc, is anyone else affected by an update to server component openvpn in Debian12. I recently ran an update which installed openvpn:amd64 2.6.3-1+deb12u2 I had a prompt to override the server.config which I said no to. since then clients ...

ooh I missed this, as I had said, it was working fine with other clients ... so wasn't the server. started over (on the debian11 client) and did get it working for couple of months. Have separate issue with the actual server now after a Debian12 update, but I will start a separate thread for that.

so I got those same errors with trying to connect to one of the free trial connections to VpnBook and of course it always worked with Windoze, so it's this clients TLS or settings being used.... any pointers or thoughts where to look next? I will see if I can get/borrow another unit to rebuild the c...

So I found (to me) conflicting advice on this setting in client.conf, so I changed mine to be commented as below # Downgrade privileges after initialization (non-Windows only) ;user nobody ;group nogroup I then restrarted the service via systemctl and tried again the log has a different message abou...

ta... so I tried sudo systemctl start openvpn@client that responded with Sep 13 01:58:02 deb11a3 ovpn-client[170529]: Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /etc/openvpn/client.conf fair enough, I had the client.conf sitting in ~/client-configs/ so I copied that to /etc/op...

On Debian 11 I have installed the openvpn from repos. I have tried connecting it to an openVPN server I have setup on Debian 12 and also using an ovpn from https://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn Both work fine on Window10 using the openVPN client from https://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/OpenVPN...

sorry for noise... was my typo in the add-bridge.sh code (confused with the remove-bridge.sh just for the record this was the link / tutorial that did work for me https://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Debian_12&p=openvpn&f=1 unfortunately it only has a tutorial for the client side using w...

1 server, probably only 1 client, at least for most of time. Server is on a static IP address. random networks blocking UDP to port 1194 .... don't believe so.

further question prompted by the link https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-server-on-debian-12/ that I did not progress with it because it started detailing changes around files for ufw that did not exist at least on this Debian 12 installation, yet and were not referenced...

So I would like to see a How To on OpenVpn in Debian 12/Bookworm ... I tried following both https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN and also https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-server-on-debian-12/ But both did not seem to work apart from the very basic unsecured test in step 1. ...

So I would still like to resolve getting a D-Link DGE-528T card working as 2nd port in a unit that has a Realtek motherboard network port.... But as way of experiment I got a 2 port Intel chipped network card fitted it instead of the DGE-528T $ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net 02:00.0 Ethernet controller ...
