hello everyone,

Hello!

The problem is outlined in the quoted log line. That IP address is not an entry-IP address of any Air server. You have to connect to the entry-IP address of any server you choose. Our configuration generator will generate all the files you need according to your preferences.

Kind regards

thank you very much for the hint.

i thought i overlooked something.

with the ip in the package generated by your server everything works like a charm.

i am very pleased with your service and thank you for your support.

I'm having issues connecting with my Router. What router do you have? Did you need to Port Forward the port you picked?

[GFmn 1]

my router is a TP-Link WR1043nd with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/19/12) std - build 18777 (latest firmware available under ftp://dd-wrt.com/others/eko/BrainSlayer-V24-preSP2/2012/ )

i did not have to do anything but follow the tutorial on https://airvpn.org/ddwrt/

ps. you could state in your tutorial that the ip to the server is in the file "air.ovpn" under remote

[psikey 1]

Do you see anything in the Status page in ddwrt for the OpenVPN as mine all show blank. I took the IP from the file you mentioned. How do you see the log file as I'm not very familiar with ddwrt or Linux

I have:

Netgear WNDR3700

Firmware Version DD-WRT v24-sp2 (03/19/12) std - build 18777

after you entered all your stuff in services -> vpn be sure to press save and apply settings, then wait a while and it will eventually show up in status -> openvpn. i dont know anything about linux either, just copied the text from the log and thankfully the admins knew the answer.

maybe you need to reboot your router and be sure to enter everything mentioned in the tutorial

[psikey 1]

Rebooted a few times but no joy. Copied the certs into the 3 boxes and set the firewall rules. How do you see the log you posted? Was it in the OpenVPN status section?

[GFmn 1]

you see the log on your dd-wrt router page under status -> openvpn e.g. http://192.168.1.1/Status_OpenVPN.asp if this is your routers ip

hope this helps

Yes your link opens that page but all 3 sections are totally blank as if OpenVPN not even attempting to start

Will have to await Admin for some guidance. Maybe I'm missing a setting in the router somewhere?

Hello!

Can you please make sure that OpenVPN is enabled in your web control panel?

Kind regards

[psikey 1]

Do you mean in the router GUI in Sevices/VPN where I keyed all the settings in?

Not sure what Web Control panel you mean.

Hello!

Yes, we meant that.

Kind regards

Yes then. Have PPTP & OpenVPN enabled. Any more suggestions?

Hello!

Please disable PPTP, although we're afraid this might not solve the problem. We need to see the connection log to get an idea about what happens. If you can't access the logs through the web DD-WRT control panel, you can generate them with a script, see here:

https://airvpn.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&func=view&catid=3&id=1955&Itemid=142#1956

You have to store the script in nvram. After that, just copy & paste the connection logs.

Kind regards

Will look into this later when I get chance, thanks.
