I'm running an OpenVPN server on a CentOS-6.5 machine at home. I have an OpenVPN client in another country, also on a CentOS-6.5 machine. I can connect to the remote machine with "ssh -v client-vpn" without any difficulty.
I can view a short document, eg "tail /var/log/messages" but if I try to view a longer document, eg "cat /var/log/messages" (or even "scp client-vpn:/var/log/messages ."), the connection hangs with the message that the connection stalled. I see no way to proceed from this except to cut the connection (eg by closing the window it is running in). I tried cutting the MTU on the client to 1400, by adding the line "tun-mtu 1400" to client.conf. On re-starting openvpn, ifconfig showed the MTU had been changed. It wasn't entirely clear to me from the documentation if I had to re-boot the remote computer (which I am reluctant to do), or if it is sufficient to re-start openvpn? Any elucidation or suggestions gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WatchGuard Dimension instantly turns raw network data into actionable security intelligence.
