network_vpn 1 Posted ... Hi, Noticed that my VPN service has dropped out today. I'm using DD-WRT. I'd like to understand two things, firstly why did it fail. Here is the status from the VPN section of my router - not sure if there are any clues in here: StateClient:Local Address: Remote Address: StatusVPN Client Stats LogClientlog: ca /tmp/openvpncl/ca.crt cert /tmp/openvpncl/client.crt key /tmp/openvpncl/client.key management 127.0.0.1 16 management-log-cache 100 verb 3 mute 3 syslog writepid /var/run/openvpncl.pid client resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun script-security 2 dev tun1 proto udp cipher aes-256-cbc auth sha1 remote 185.103.***.*** 443 comp-lzo yes tls-client tun-mtu 1500 mtu-disc yes ns-cert-type server fast-io tun-ipv6 tls-auth /tmp/openvpncl/ta.key 1 tls-cipher TLS-DHE-RSA-WITH-AES-256-GCM-SHA384 Also when I configured it I also understood that adding the following firewall rules would act as kill switch should the VPN fail - this wasn't the case: Here are the rules: iptables -I FORWARD -i br0 -o tun0 -j ACCEPTiptables -I FORWARD -i tun0 -o br0 -j ACCEPTiptables -I INPUT -i tun0 -j REJECTiptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE I rebooted my router and the VPN service appears to working ok again, I would just like to understand what happened.
