I am baffled by this error output, which has appeared now on a client that worked fine last time I connected OpenVPN.
The client is a RaspberryPi4 with openvpn version: $ openvpn --version OpenVPN 2.4.7 arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Feb 20 2019 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019, LZO 2.10 I am using a script to connect to the remote server as follows: sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/BosseB_RPi_local95_NP.ovpn This used to work fine to connect to the remote network so I could access the subversion server on that network from the RPi4. But now when I run the coommand this is what I get: $ connectvpn.sh Fri Mar 12 12:08:16 2021 OpenVPN 2.4.7 arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [PKCS11] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on Feb 20 2019 Fri Mar 12 12:08:16 2021 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1d 10 Sep 2019, LZO 2.10 Fri Mar 12 12:08:16 2021 TCP/UDP: Preserving recently used remote address: [AF_INET]209.36.xx.xx:1195 Fri Mar 12 12:08:16 2021 UDP link local: (not bound) Fri Mar 12 12:08:16 2021 UDP link remote: [AF_INET]209.36.xx.xx:1195 Fri Mar 12 12:08:16 2021 [AGIVPN] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET]209.36.xx.xx:1195 Fri Mar 12 12:08:18 2021 ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such device (errno=19) Fri Mar 12 12:08:18 2021 Exiting due to fatal error If I look for /dev/net/tun I get this: $ ls -la /dev/net/tun crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 200 Jan 19 11:38 /dev/net/tun i.e. a blank line. What is OpenVpn looking for here and how can I fix the problem? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
