SOLVED: remote connection problem

Postby sakis650 » Tue Jun 08, 2021 4:25 am

Hi everyone
I just set up successfully my Amahi 11 on Fedora 27. Everything works perfect on LAN. I am just having problem connecting remotely through Openvpn.

HDAconnect error log is

Tue Jun 08 11:37:40 2021 OpenVPN 2.1_rc15 i686-pc-mingw32 [SSL] [LZO2] [PKCS11] built on Nov 19 2008

Openvpn tester goes green on my control panel.
Set up of HDAconnect is done by the book
Router is checked for firewalls and ports forwarding (draytek vigor 2925)
The interactive network troubleshooter was ok.

Any advice on this would be more than welcome
thanks

Are you using your HDA for DHCP/DNS?

If not, recommend you check out the Amahi FAQ.

This could be the issue.

Never mind my previous post. I disproved that theory as my HDA VPN is working and I am not using it for DHCP/DNS.

Do you have the latest certificates installed? I seem to remember we generated new certificates a year ago or so.
