i installed openvpn on slackware 11.0 to connect to ipcop/openvpn firewall. the firewall is working fine since i used it with OpenVPN GUI for windows for a long time. i downloaded the config file and the pem file to my slack and did the following:
Code:
root@slack:/etc# openvpn --config /root/downloads/Home-TO-IPCop/Home-TO-IPCop.ovpn
it worked fine in the beginning, created tun0 interface routing fine to my local network. i had to restart my laptop to charge it and now i'm trying to connect again but it's coming back with this output:
Code:
root@slack:/etc# openvpn --config /root/downloads/Home-TO-IPCop/Home-TO-IPCop.ovpn

i thought that the cert file is corrupt so i downloaded it again from the firewall and tried it again but it's not working. if i recompiled openvpn it'll work for couple of time then it quites. any ideas?
