VPN connection errors

[mciv]

I'm trying to get the vpn working by following the instructions on the wiki pages and I'm getting some errors after running the openvpn command. Any ideas?

WARNING: No server certificate verification method has been enabled. See http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm for more info.

is this the client or the server?

looks like the client.

what OS? linux/mac/win?

[mciv]

Yes on the client.

I'm running linux.

[cpg]

certificate file ca-cert.crt path (null)

that is probably it.
make sure that path is named correctly, including capitalization!

Thanks. That was helpful and got me past the initial error. However, I'm still having a problem making a connection. The process seems to stall at

SIOCADDRT: File exists

the "SIOCADDRT: File exists" means you may have it already running?
maybe you accidentally ran one and is still running in the background?

check with:

Code: Select all

ps -guax | grep openvpn
