Hoping to get some help here to get my new GL-AR300M to run its OpenVPN client to connect to my PrivateInternetAccess VPN server account.
I am able to import my .opvn file into the GUI, as you can see in the attached screenshot.
When I check the “Enable” checkbox in the manager settings panel, and then click the “Apply” button, as you see in another attached screenshot, I see a momentary change in the “Status” panel, but it returns to saying “OpenVPN is … not started”. It appears that the OpenVPN is not already started, or it failing to start up.
When I switch to the “Advanced Settings” GUI, I look for a startup log for OpenVPN, but don’t see one, and don’t see anything in the system log.
When I go to the “Services Startup” page that shows the “Initscripts”, I see that the “openvpn” item, which I assume is the client, not the server version of OpenVPN, is “disabled”. When I try to either click the “Disabled” button, hoping to enable it, or if I try the “Start” or “Restart” buttons, it fails to come up. The instructions above, on this page suggest that a reboot is necessary to have changes stick. When I try a reboot, the OpenVPN client does not come up either.
At this point, I’m thinking that I will have to ssh into the box and try to find the raw config files and turn on logging to try to see what is wrong, but that will be a whole lot of work…
Does anybody have any advice about what is wrong, or what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks
