Networkmanager + OpenVPN : timeout problem (Fedora 10)
I have a remote OpenVPN-server on an Endian firewall.
Authentication is set to username+password and a *.pem-certificate. On my Fedora 10-system I have setup a new VPN-connection with NetworkManager : gateway : IP-adres of the remote endian firewall / endian type : password CA Certificate : endian.pem (downloaded from endian firewall, generated automatically) I have changed SELinux to grant access to OpenVPN to access the home directories. My endian.pem-certificate resides in /home/jonas. (SELinux gave me this notice, and gave me the command to use. Very friendly of SELinux) I have poked a hole in my firewall to open port 1194. My router has PPTP and IPSec passthrough enabled. Still... when I try to connect to the OpenVPNserver, it's taking too long and finally times out on "Requesting a VPN-address". Where does it go wrong ? tail -f /var/log/messages : Code:

Did you resolve this as I am seeing the exact same issue with Fedora 15 to a Cisco 5520 when trying to use openvpn
Linux xxxxx 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.i686 #1 SMP Tue Oct 4 00:51:19 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux i even downloaded the pem cert and told openvpn about it in /etc/pki/tls/certs although i dont think that was needed as you tell the NetworkManager openvpn dialogue about it anyway (the cert) |
issue this command on the terminal and put the output here
$ openvpn /path/to/client.conf |
Trying to find that file now, it is not in /etc/openvpn because i am using the network manager tool to configure the connection, having trouble but will post when i find it.
alternatively i may ignore network manager and try the fedora vpn page manually. |
Having issues with time on this now. Will get back to it asap.

find it from /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/client.conf
copy it from there to /etc/openvpn/ and then config it to customize for yourself |
