Amahi Forums

Hi All

Has anyone got any of the Amahi VPN's clients or servers to work.

Spent two weeks trying to get OpenVPN, no luck. Unsure that the service in running correctly on the Amahi server as the dash board states it does not run. Additionally when I try to get the client to load on my Iphone IOS 7 - it reports my configuration file is bad after syncing with iTunes.

Then tried the IPSec VPN and the standard VPN function on iPhones but once again after trying to connect and waiting 5 agonising seconds each times it comes back with a error message.

I have tried a number of help sites, tried changing ports, upd to tpc, some sites suggest changing or deleting lines in configuration file (raccoon), tried uninstalling and clean installs. I have even rebuilt the Amahi server twice.

Can any one suggest a good step by step help site before it take up knitting

Working no problem on my end for Amahi 7. Is that the version you have installed?

Sounds like you could have a firewall issue or possibly your ISP could be blocking ports. Very few users have issues with VPN, so suspect it's something with your connection.

Yes I have Amahi 7 loaded via Fedora 20

As a test, I changed my home DVR (which I know works on port 8887) and changed it to Port 500. I then changed my Port Forward on my VM Super Hub to 500 (TCP) looking at my DVR IP address. I also did the same for Port 4500 and both reported as open (via online WEB port checker site).

Understand that Amahi IP Sec VPN uses UDP for both 500 and 4500 but unless my ISP / Firewall blocks UDP and not TCP then surely this proves that that there is nothing remotely block either port?

I have confirmed in my Amahi dashboard that IpSec service is running but I don’t know Linux well enough to be able to prove that the IpSec service is listening on either Port?

Is there a basic service that I can load and run on Amahi server that can test (via some manual inputs) that Ports are working??

I presume you mean Fedora 19 as Amahi is not supported on Fedora 20. If I am mistaken about the OS version, then that is your issue most likely.

There are some command line tools you can run to check ports. A quick internet search should provide you with a list.
