hello openvpn community,
I have a setup with a OpenVPN Server on a Ubuntu 20.04 system, with
multiple server configuration files (say X.conf and Y.conf), that only
differ in the server certificate/key and passphrase (only one of the
server configs is started at a time).
When starting (sudo systemctl restart openvpn@X) config X.conf it works
("Initialization Sequence Completed", I can connect a client).
With another config Y.conf, I get (restart, then sudo systemctl status
openvpn@Y):
Apr 23 11:08:13 sidact-lap11 systemd[1]: Starting OpenVPN connection to Y...
Apr 23 11:08:44 sidact-lap11 systemd[1]: openvpn@Y.service: start operation
timed out. Terminating.
The config file looks like this in both cases (except substituting for
X):
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
comp-lzo
#management 127.0.0.1 1194
keepalive 10 120
persist-key
persist-tun
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
status openvpn-status.log
verb 4
server 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0
#push "route 192.168.189.0 255.255.255.0"
#push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.5"
#push "dhcp-option DOMAIN example.com"
ca /etc/openvpn/server/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/server/X.crt
key /etc/openvpn/server/X.key
dh /etc/openvpn/server/dh.pem
askpass
I am relatively sure that the typed passphrase (for Y.key) is
correct, or does the error message above clearly indicate that this is
not the case?
Permissions for the key file were 640, but since openvpn complained, I
changed this to 600 (root:root).
I tried increasing the verb or specifying "log /tmp/foo.log" in the
.conf, but I don't see more logging on the terminal or in /tmp/foo.log
(which still does not exist).
Many Thanks and Best Regards,
