problems with VPN

[mfacer]

Hi guys,

I have had Amahi running for a while now, but today I decided to try the remote VPN feature.
I have set up the router and in my amahi login (control panel) it says it's active (green light).

I have downloaded the amahi VPN client (using Win XP)
Yet, when I try to connect, I get a connection reset by peer error. Here's the output

Code: Select all

I can see the error messages at the first couple of lines - but I thought this was meant to work out of the box, so I have not set anything else up?

I can confirm that the IP address I am currently on is not the same as my home network I am on.

any ideas??

Have you forwarded port 1194 UDP on your router according to the wiki? That is a very basic step that must be done.

[mfacer]

Yep.. UDP service added and firewall rule to forward traffic on that to my 192.168.0.99 amahi machine. In the amahi.org control panel, I do the VPN check and it says it's active.

I'm having the same problem...did you manage to find a solution?

hi,

check basic network connectivity on the ports:

ping <user>.yourhda.com from outside your network.
telnet <user>.yourhda.com 1194 from inside and outside your network. working? try both names and ip addresses.
