Thread: VPN Confiuration


i trying configure openvpn , followed procedure shown here:

https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/server...c/openvpn.html

when try start server fails.

syslog shows:

mar 20 14:33:25 ubuntu-server ovpn-server[9046]: options error: must define dh file (--dh)

neither newbie nor expert in things linux. 1 of not smart me things.

direction appreciated.

it looks config file not pointed diffie hellman parameters created ./build-dh tutorial linked. assuming used easy-rsa scripts included openvpn, file called dh1024.pem , located ran script (usually /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0). in config file should have line says

code:
dh dh1024.pem
so if dh1024.pem file still in easy-rsa script directory need move same directory contains config file (usually /etc/openvpn).

if not case should post config file , output of:

code:
sudo ls -lhr /etc/openvpn
and
code:
sudo cat /var/log/syslog | grep -i openvpn
so can have closer look

suggest using tutorial in future:
