Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2017 2:47 pm Post subject: can't connect with openvpn

I have literally spent more than six months trying to get this working, but to no avail. The support people at the VPN provider are completely incompetent (better add a "in my opinion" there for legal reasons), but I am wondering if something in Gentoo (particularly the setup scripts) is contributing to the problem.

Simple routing table (no VPN):

Code:

$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 3 0 0 net0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 net0

Configuration file (leaving out the inline files and altering the name of the remote host):

Code:

auth-retry interact
auth-user-pass
client
dev tun
cipher AES-256-CBC
explicit-exit-notify 2
ifconfig-nowarn
key-direction 1
mute 20
persist-key
persist-tun
proto udp
redirect-gateway
remote remote.vpnprovider.net 53
remote-cert-tls server
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
route-delay 2
route-method exe
verb 3

Start the vpn iwth /etc/init.d/openvpn.vpn (with the above configuration in /etc/openvpn/vpn.conf)

Here is the entire session from /var/log/messages:

Routing table with VPN "active" (unable to send or receive any traffic):

Code:

$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 45.74.63.129 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
default 45.74.63.129 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 3 0 0 net0
45.74.63.3 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 net0
45.74.63.128 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.192 U 0 0 0 tun0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
128.0.0.0 45.74.63.129 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 net0

Don't understand the purpose of the 128.0.0.0 route, and why are there two default gateways - that doesn't look right? Also, 45.74.63.3 is not in the same subnet as 45.74.63.133 (with a 255.255.255.192 netmask).

Any ideas that would get this working would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

could you please remove the following lines from your config:

Code:

redirect-gateway
route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0
route-delay 2
route-method exe

and add the following instead

Code:

pull

Please post the log afterwards again.

Thank you and greets, bb

Routing table is slightly different (the second default route is gone), but I still can't send or receive traffic:

Code:

Your last routing tables looks reasonably.

This looks like a trouble:

openvpn[3024]: write to TUN/TAP : Invalid argument (code=22)

I'd try switching from TUN to TAP first

You may find some hints in logs.

This wont help fixing this issue. According to a lot of google entries, comp-lzo is the problem.

Please add to your config file the following line:

Code:

comp-lzo

and try again. Also check for the permissions on /dev/tun. Sometimes they can be the problem as well.

greets, bb

That was not particularly successful. I guess I need to recompile openvpn.

Code:

# /etc/init.d/openvpn.vpn start
* Starting openvpn.vpn ...
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/vpn.conf:6: comp-lzo (2.3.12)
Use --help for more information.
* start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/sbin/openvpn'
* Check your logs to see why startup failed [ !! ]
* WARNING: openvpn.vpn has started, but is inactive

Yeah, please recompile with lzo support. I looked at your log, and it seems, you are using PureVPN (am I right). According to the "ubuntu-guide" comp-lzo is necessary! You should also consider adding the tls.key, the ca.crt and your certfile/key (if you got those) with the following options:

Code:

ca caert.crt
cert yourcert.crt
key yourkey.key
tls-key yourtls.key 1

found at: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:gIa7zGDY1yAJ:https://support.purevpn.com/openvpn-configuration-guide-for-ubuntu+&cd=1&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de

Greets, bb

EDIT: Do not use the tap interface. Use the tun interface!

Recompiled. Yes, the provide is PureVPN (I do not recommend them). Saw that guide Do not have Gnome. Do not want Gnome. Do not have networkmanager. Do not want networkmanager.

I have all of the external files inline (embedded in the configuration file) per the openvpn man page.

First, will post the usual

Side question - are inet and destination supposed to be the same? Looks wrong to me.

Route:

Code:

$ route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
0.0.0.0 45.74.61.193 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
default 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 net0
45.74.61.2 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 net0
45.74.61.192 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.224 U 0 0 0 tun0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
128.0.0.0 45.74.61.193 128.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 net0

That still looks wrong (45.74.61.2 is not on the same subnet as 45.74.61.192/255.255.255.224).

Is there any reason for making two routes (0.0.0.0/128.0.0.0 and 128.0.0.0/128.0.0.0) instead of just 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0?

One more question here - what is supposed to happen with DNS? I see the push option for it in the log, but it is not taking effect. Is the script supposed to reset resolv.conf (like dhcp does)?

It does seem there was a connection established, but it is completely unusable:

Code:

$ ping 8.8.8.8

Hi, you dont need gnome or even like in the guide unity. It just for picking the correct options for your config file. You could try using traceroute instead of ping for checking, if your traffic is going through the tunnel instead of your normal interface. according to your inet/destination output. im not really sure, whether its correct or not. im checking when im home, i can try out with a connection there. for dns check /etc/resolv.conf. maybe its modified by openvpn. greets, bb _________________ Desktop: Ryzen 5 5600G, 32GB, 2TB, RX7600 Notebook: Dell XPS 13 9370, 16GB, 1TB Server #1: Ryzen 5 Pro 4650G, 64GB, 16.5TB Server #2: Ryzen 4800H, 32GB, 22TB

I am more convinced than ever that there is some problem on their end.

This is what the device (and routing table) SHOULD look like (using a different provider):

Code:

tun0: flags=4305<UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,NOARP,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.10.6.22 netmask 255.255.255.255 destination 10.10.6.21
unspec 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 txqueuelen 100 (UNSPEC)
RX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 2 bytes 116 (116.0 B)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0

$ /bin/route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default 10.10.6.21 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 tun0
10.10.6.1 10.10.6.21 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 tun0
10.10.6.21 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 tun0
104.247.220.10 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 net0
loopback localhost 255.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 lo
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 net0

I found the option (in /etc/conf.d/openvpn) to conrol whether or not openvpn updates resolv.conf.

Yes. Routes with longer masks are prioritized over routes with shorter masks. This allows you to shadow your actual default route out when you're connected to VPN and then restore old setting. The single hold route (mask 32) has the longest mask possible and will always be prioritized over anything else, which lets you maintain the tunnel over public network rather than tunnel it in your tunnel in your tunnel in your tunnel in your [[ TTL=0 -> DROP ]]

As you can see with the different provider, you only have one default-route instead of two. have you checked the trafficway via traceroute already? this should show you, which hops/gateways are used for accessing the destination server.

i have an ipv6 provider and for v4 it looks like this:

Code:

root@server:~# traceroute 8.8.8.8 -n
traceroute to 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 192.168.0.254 0.471 ms 0.604 ms 0.780 ms
2 192.168.0.254 1.076 ms 1.701 ms 1.962 ms
root@server:~#

for ipv6 via a tunnel:

Code:

root@server:~# traceroute6 2a00:1450:4001:817::2003 -n
»traceroute« zu 2a00:1450:4001:817::2003 (2a00:1450:4001:817::2003) von IPV6-Adress, Port 33434, von Port 50331, maximal 30 Sprünge, 60 Byte Pakete
1 2001:6f8:900:XXXX 22.712 ms 22.681 ms 22.783 ms
2 2001:6f8:862:1::c2e9:c729 22.839 ms 22.812 ms 23.149 ms
3 2001:6f8:862:1::c2e9:c72c 23.643 ms 23.177 ms 23.371 ms
4 2001:7f8::1b1b:0:1 43.154 ms 32.918 ms 89.490 ms
5 2001:7f8::3b41:0:1 33.071 ms 32.798 ms 33.663 ms
6 2001:4860:0:1::19f7 33.425 ms 33.719 ms 33.592 ms
7 2001:4860:0:1::1b39 33.922 ms 33.630 ms 33.218 ms
8 2a00:1450:4001:817::2003 33.499 ms 33.510 ms 33.046 ms
root@server:~#

As you can see, it uses different gateways (please ignore that one is ipv4 and one is ipv6, its just for demontration).

greets, bb
