OpenVPN question/No connection

Pingviinit

Hello guys,

I have a quick question which hopefully results with a quick fix.

This is my first time trying to get VPN running on Arch.

What I have done is download the congfig file, extracted into /etc/openvpn

then through terminal typed in

sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/AirVPN/name_of_the_file_.ovpn

The problem comes after the command executes and terminal outputs 'Sequence Authenticated'. I have no longer a connection nor can run a ping command.

I am pretty sure I a missing a step. Any ideas?

Please pardon my English and thank you much in advance.

Could try w/o the --config line:

sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/AirVPN/name_of_the_file_.ovpn

Or just log in as root and run it.

The config files can be anywhere. There's no need to put them in the /etc/openvpn directory when starting it from terminal.

Enabling logging via iptables might also help.

Hi,

I am still having the same problem no matter what I do. It is quite frusterating.

I have tried several methods from terminal to congfiguring NetworkManager manaully. Still no luck.

Through the openvpn command, I get this message in the end.

2015 Initialization Sequence Completed

With absolutely no errors or anything.

There is gotta be something else I am missing. I have not yet touched iptables yet.

At this point, any ideas are welcomed.

Nothing in that video is required for airvpn. - err other than extracting the files lol.

-Download the files.

-Run openvpn /path/to/your/file.ovpn

-surf on

Post the log file if its still failing.
