VPN connection fails

[xutkm]

I have just moved from WHS to Amahi and I'm in trouble. I'm trying to get the VPN connection to work. On my Windows client I get this log when trying to connect:

I don't know what to do! Help please!

hi kim,

apologies for the belated reply.

the log does not have enough information to show an error (the warning is harmless).

let me ask this:

• is the windows client vista with the latest patches? if so, please get the latest VPN client from the openvpn site and install it. then you need to configure it by hand, just like the windows or linux client (check the wiki).
• can you provide more of the log up to the place where it fails?
• is your server x86_64? there is a small bug with the 64-bit vpn server.

incidentally, in the irc channel we can test the vpn for you with a temp user, just to rule out the client.
