OpenVPN on Ubuntu 12.04

[Houmie]

Hi there,

I have setup a VPN server on my Ec2 instance successfully and can see ifconfig tun0. The port 1194 is also free.

However my client can't access the server. I have already created the certificates. Somehow the handshake fails and i dont understand why.

On the server log, I can see the incoming call from my client. So the port is perfectly fine.

Can a pro help me please?

Hi,

Seems to me like a TLS Handshake issue.

Mar 25 06:51:31 tp ovpn-client[1757]: TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)
Mar 25 06:51:31 tp ovpn-client[1757]: TLS Error: TLS handshake failed

Try this on the client browser:

openssl s_client -connect host:port -tls1

If you are able to connect, I'm not sure what could be the problem but if you aren't, certainly your browser is sending TLSv1 encryption but your server cannot handle it. To confirm that you can try these:

openssl s_client -connect host:port -ssl3
openssl s_client -connect host:port -ssl2

Where the browser will try to connect using SSLv3 and SSLv2 encryption respectively.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for you replay.

What is s_client in this context? And do you mean running this on the terminal right?

openssl s_client -connect host:port -tls1
