Error in openvpn connection (mageia 6 using net_applet)

Error in openvpn connection (mageia 6 using net_applet)

Postby asimov-solensan » Oct 29th, '17, 15:23

Hello,

I need some help here, I have got a server running openvpn and can't connect to my vpn server.

There can't be any problem in the server on the .ovpn file I'm using. I use same server/file in android, windows and used in mageia 5 with network manager. But I got a new laptop, installed mageia 6 and this is the only system where I can't connect.

I'm following this tutorial:
viewtopic.php?f=25&t=12033&p=70313&hilit=openvpn#p70313

But still doesn't work.

I only get this output manually running net_applet.
Code: Select all
Starting VPN connection:                                                                                                                      [  OK  ]
got connection status event: add tun0

got connection status event: dhcp_request tun0
got connection status event: dhcp_failure tun0
got connection status event: zcip_failure tun0

And my configuation file:
Code: Select all

dev tun
proto udp
remote xxxxxxxxx.xxx xxx
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca /home/asimov/Documentos/openvpn/ca.crt

tls-auth /home/asimov/Documentos/openvpn/tx.key 1
auth SHA256
#dhcp-option DNS 0.0.0.0
#redirect-gateway def1
comp-lzo
verb 3


Any idea on how to get more information about this problem? I tried installing nm_applet but seems completely different to the version from mageia 5. But if can solve this with net_applet I'm happy with it.

Any idea is welcome.

Please provide the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all
ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -iE "net|wpa"
rpm -qa|grep dhc


and, as root:
Code: Select all
systemctl status network.service -al -n250


It might also be an idea to run
Code: Select all
journalctl -af

as root and keep that terminal open, and then run net_applet and start your VPN connection to see if there's something useful in the logs.

Also, if you're using the firewall once you configured the VPN connection you may need to simply re-run the firewall configuration again so that interface is included, and some of the essential ports like DHCP are not being blocked.

I have got the firewall disabled until I sort this out. And if I run net_applet as root the applet doesn't appear in the toolbar, the only option to see the applet is running it as user. The output is the one I posted before.

Apart from that, you should probably reboot before another test as your systemd-journald seems to have been reloaded and logs were not flushed, as can be seen from the previous output.

Hello,

Thanks again for your time but I replaced networkmanager and worked just fine. I would like to dig the cause but the truth is that don't really like mga_applet. Besides I have set a couple of tools with dispatcher and I'm happy with this.

Right now I would suggest to anyone with the same problem to just use networkmanager. There is a good walkthrough here:
