williamsongrand · Post by **williamsongrand** » 23 Jul 2019, 12:42

I tried to configuration OpenVPN TLS and I got an error message “Failed to start OpenVPN tunnel”. Every time i got this message when i try to configure. Can anyone suggest me what is the actual issue?

Try to start the tunnel manually as root and look for eventual errors:

Code: Select all

$ openvpn --verb 3 /path/to/your/configfile

I don't have enough knowledge and I didn't perform ever manual process. So please share me the complete guide. Thank You

For a better understanding and guidance, please share your installation steps and how you tried to start the server (where you got the error).

I didn't know the process, I just google and got some link where they mention the steps such as:
https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to ... se-openvpn
https://www.purevpn.com/what-is-vpn/protocols/openvpn
https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/p ... ws-openvpn
Now you suggest me where I made mistakes?

I don't think that it will be possible to suggest anything without propper knowledge about what you configured. So you could either repeat the installation process and share the steps or you could pay someone for on-site consulting.

Best,
