ANSWERED Switching from PIA to AirVPN : problem with Deluge autostart

Recommended Posts

Hi, I gave AirVPN a try with a 1 euro trial. I actually try to switch from PIA (provateinternetaccess.com) for some reason.

 

I'm using a Raspberry Pi (SSH access, no GUI).

 

Downloading an openvpn conf file was flawless and wget http://ipinfo.io/ip -qO - gives me a suited IP. Fine.

 

My probem is : Deluge does no more start a boot, while the same config used to work fine with PIA.

 

I set up Deluge as in the official Deluge systemd documentation : http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/Service/systemd . So as to bind Deluge to the VPN connection, in your openvpn file, I added

 

route-up /etc/openvpn/route-up.sh
down /etc/openvpn/down.sh

 

with route-up.sh beeing

 

#!/bin/sh
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE
systemctl start deluged

and down.sh beeing

#!/bin/sh
iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -o tun0 -j MASQUERADE
systemctl stop deluged

What's wrong with that ? (it was fine with PIA)

I made the necessary to add logging. It is supposed to produce /var/log/deluge/daemon.log.

 

Unfortunately, at statrup, no daemon.log file is produced. When I start the deamon manualy with sudo systemctl start deluged the deamon starts normally and I can connect to it through the regular Deluge web interface. There is also a brand new /var/log/deluge/daemon.log file but it is empty. Actually, the deamon is able to start when it is asked for. I guess that my problem comes from my openvpn config file.

# OpenVPN Client Configuration.
# AirVPN_Netherlands_UDP-443
# --------------------------------------------------------

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote nl.vpn.airdns.org 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo no
route-delay 5
verb 3
explicit-exit-notify 5

route-up /etc/openvpn/route-up.sh
down /etc/openvpn/down.sh

... with the security ca, cert and key sections following, but I d'ont reproduce them. Anyway they seem to work because the Pi connects to the VPN.

 

Is something missing ? My route-up.sh and down.sh files are above. I also tried by removing the iptables lines.

I found the solution. Yoyu've been very helpfull by pointing the need of log files.Then I enables custom log files for openvpn and found the solution quickly. My open config file should have contained

script-security 2

so as to enable user scripts to be launched. So to sum up, my modified config file is

 

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote nl.vpn.airdns.org 443
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
cipher AES-256-CBC
comp-lzo no
route-delay 5
verb 3
explicit-exit-notify 5
# DEB Ajouts maison
script-security 2
log-append /var/log/openvpn.log
route-up /etc/openvpn/route-up.sh
down /etc/openvpn/down.sh
# FIN Ajouts maison

... and authentification stuff following

and it works fine.

 

So I'll buy a longer AirVPN plan.
