Hi Jerry,

Thanks for your assistance.

Its now up. As you said the issue was the udp in the proto line.




Regards,
Brian

Hi Brian:

First thing is you have a typo in the .conf file correct the proto line, is 
should be udp.
For further setup information have a look at:

Good Morning All,




In installing openvpn I didn't see a client.conf file. I want my XS to connect 
to a vpn server. In essence the XS will be the vpn client.

I have my vpn  keys and in trying to create the client.conf file I received 
some errors.

The issue is that when I created my client.conf file then restarted the openvpn 
service, it did not start. Iam able to stop it but not start.


I had previously gotten a site to look at regarding openvpn configuration 
however the site is now down.

See  the below client.conf file I created using a couple web sites.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Not sure where I went wrong. Iam assuming that I missed a couple lines..Not 
sure where.

Regards,
Brian
