edobrez 3 Posted ... Hi on my rhel 6.6 system I can't install mono for corporate compliance.I have installed openvpn and was trying to use it from the console or via NetworkManager. at the moment, I am connected from China via the corporate VPN but was looking at some independent solution. when I disconnect the corporate VPN, and triy to connect using openvpnudp 443 fails to connect (timeout)ssh tunnel port 22 and ssl tunnel on 443 both connectI get a tun0 device with a 10.... IP.note that I had the openvpn config files imported in NetworkManager else resolv.conf did not get updated. however if I try to ping the 10.* dns server that appears in resolv.confI never get a reply.I can't even ping google's own DNS servers so after I connect via openvpn I am effectively isolated although with a 10.* IP address. I even tried flushing my iptables but no change(and anyway the tun0 device created by my corporate VPN dialler works fine) suggestions welcome 1 alainna reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
edobrez 3 Posted ... I have made progress ! I am posting here connected through airvpn ... - used the ssh port 22 alt.ip configuration- connecting to the America region - not dialling openvpn with NetwrokManagerbut launched on the command line with Networkmanager though I had modified the connection to the hotel wireless not to use its dns serversbut to use Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). I can't yet use Airvpn 's DNS servers 1 alainna reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
edobrez 3 Posted ... I can't yet use Airvpn 's DNS servers after further testing, the ssh tunnel solution works with the following limitation - using the chinese hotel wifi, asia servers do not seem reachableeurope and america are ok -due to my platform (rhel 6.6)I can't use mono so the airvpn packages can't be run (also the 'portable one' seem to require mono) - if I import the opvn in Networkmanager, vpn connection succeeds and a 10.*** nameserver entry is added to resolv.confBUTthe connection is useless, cannot ping anything if I use openvpn from the command line, resolv.conf is not updated-even including the suggested line up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-confin the ovpn file is irrelevant as the platform does not include a /sbin/resolvconf so to use the Airvpn DNS I need to edit resolv.conf myself 1 alainna reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post
