Amahi Forums

Hi there,

It seems my client gives me the TLS handshake error when trying to start openVPN from terminal. Next step I took was trying to follow the excellent instructions on the Amahi wiki to 'Prevent SSL Handshake Timeouts In OpenVPN'.

I immediately ran into problems, however. The first thing I am supposed to do, according to the instructions, is go /etc/openvpn/amahi by typing 'cd /etc/openvpn/amahi'.

Access, so it seems, is denied. I have tried opening it with sudo, but this does not change anything. My knowledge and experience with these kind of issues is admittedly limited so I wouldn't know how to solve it.

Help is much appreciated!

All the best,

MPE

Any indication on how long it will be? Just to be sure, I am in no way expecting you to quickly fix this, but otherwise I might try ipsec.

The openvpn App has been updated. The client certificates will be added to the wiki hopefully by this afternoon.

You will need to uninstall/reinstall the app, then redo the certs and conf file on your client devices to use the new certs.
