Hey Lonnie, I've always just chosen TCP since I've found it easier in general to get around possible NAT issues - especially in more heavily fortified networks like hotels. My OpenVPN implementation is more for remote client connections (laptops, tablets, phones, etc.) then a direct Server-to-Serv

Well, since the server is bricked, it sounds like you won't be able to do anything until Monday. But once you get access back to it, if you want to proceed through the GUI, you can try using the settings I pasted earlier- under OpenVPN Server configuration. In summary: (Tunnel Options) Protocol:

Hi Tom. The OpenVPN Server network is totally new and unique, only one box will run as a server, why not use: Network: 10.8.1.0 255.255.255.0 for the server endpoint. Then the Clients would have Remote Server: 1.2.3.4 (public IPv4 address of OpenVPN server) Remote Network: 10.8.1.0 255.255.

What are the goals you are trying to accomplish with the VPN tunnel? Are you trying to just create an encrypted tunnel between the two Astlinux boxes for inter-server communication, or are you trying to route traffic across it as well? Are there certain networks you do/don't want to route traffic
