I have given up. I am running 9.3 FreeNAS. I have went though this tutorial about I don't know how many time. I always get the same error, which is:
Code:
Starting openvpn.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn: WARNING: failed to start openvpn


I know some one asked this question and no one answered his question. So can some one please help me. I would be sooooooooo happy. Thanks

try and starting your openvpn service like this:
Code:
openvpn --config /mnt/openvpn/openvpn.conf

if you followed the guide, the config file is in that path (/mnt/openvpn/openvpn.conf) if not change the path.
You'll get a more detailed error message if you change the last line of your openvpn.conf from verbose 3 to verbose 5 or something.
Your errormessage as it is now is to generic to troubleshoot.

After following the guide for the xx"th time, after pulling about half my hair, i'd figured comming over here:

first something to add to the guide: the "/mnt/openvpn/openvpn.conf" file needs to be adapted, more speficly in this line:
Code:
dh /mnt/openvpn/keys/dh2048.pem

that instead of the dh1024.pem

now my error:

Code:
root@openvpn:/ # openvpn --config /mnt/openvpn/openvpn.conf

scratch all that, after a server reboot it all off a sudden magically worked. Consider me confusseled..
Only thing not working is the actual routing between the jail and the rest of the network. As in i get a 10.8.X.X address, can ping the jail's ip, but nothing else from inside my lan network.
Guess i'm going to look after that now ;-)

try and starting your openvpn service like this:
Code:
openvpn --config /mnt/openvpn/openvpn.conf

if you followed the guide, the config file is in that path (/mnt/openvpn/openvpn.conf) if not change the path.
You'll get a more detailed error message if you change the last line of your openvpn.conf from verbose 3 to verbose 5 or something.
Your errormessage as it is now is to generic to troubleshoot.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH IT WORKED THANK YOU.

Read a few pages back (8 or 9 i think), I and many others got stuck at this part for a while

I added the following lines of code to the bottom of /usr/local/etc/ipfw.rules
Code:
TUN=$(/sbin/ifconfig -l | tr " " "\n" | /usr/bin/grep tun)
ifconfig ${TUN} name tun0



Now when the service (re)starts, the static route always uses the correct epair and there is always always a tun0.

Just updated the guide with my epair script and this, thanks!

Hi,

I followed the instructions and have OpenVPN working (or, at least it says connected, lol). Anyways, the main reason I did this was to be able to access my home automation server, Domoticz on my local network. I set up the IP Range of the VPN to be 10.8.0.* and the local IP range I would like it to access (items connected to my router) is 192.168.86.*

Could someone please explain to me how I would do this?

Thanks,

Confirmed working! Just set this up today and after spotting a minor flaw in my server config file (the DH path was on the same line as the KEY path) everything works great! Setting up the client-side .ovpn file (for my phone) took a few tries but that has also been sorted out now.

The next line in the configuration tells the remote client about the yellow network, in your case 192.168.86.0/24
Code:
push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0" #Yellow network


Replace this line with your network and you'll be able to talk to your local clients. Also remember to edit line 11 to suit your network.

This is a problem with the forum's formatting, I still don't know how to avoid this as it seems it depends on the client browser's width. I've added a comment to the tutorial to avoid mindless copy-and-pasting.

Thank you very much, I have another reason to love FreeNAS even more. Tried multiple times to get DDwrt to do this and work. After a little tweaking and a restart or two this is up and running.

I hope this helps reduce the time it took me to originally figure out how to do everything without messing with static routes in the gateway router, firewall configurations and NAT issues.

I've been trying to get this setup working for ages, but only just managed to connect to other devices on my LAN after adding 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.3 as a static route in my gateway (which is my internet modem/router). Where abouts have I messed up if this was supposed to work without adding a static route to the gateway.

It seems like OpenVPN is working but your jail isn't doing any NAT translation.

NAT provides an address inside the yellow network in which every device inside it can talk to each other, so you don't have to create a static route in your router and perform inter-lan routing. Check your ipfw.rules file and compare your output from ipfw list with the tutorial.

I am able to connect to the VPN, but cant ping anything on the other side. I get assigned a IP address 10.8.0.6. My jail is 192.168.1.4 and "yellow" network is 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, because the "ipfw list" and "sockstat -4 -l" commands results are like the tutorial. But cannot ping anything.

I have been pulling my hair out! can someone help?

Are you normally able to ping things, also what is the local network that you are on before connecting to your VPN, is there an overlap? A lot of places use 192.168.1.0/24. Might be worth using a different subnet on your home/remote LAN.

Many thanks for this guide, I had a bit of an issue with getting bash to work. I was getting these errors: -

root@OpenVPN:/ # cd /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/

root@OpenVPN:/usr/local/share/easy-rsa # source ./vars

export: Command not found.

export: Command not found.

export: Command not found.

export: Command not found.

EASY_RSA: Undefined variable.

export: Command not found.

I had to run the below from outside the jail whilst it was off. Afterwards I could use bash.

mount -t fdescfs fdesc /mnt/NFS-FREENAS01/jails/OpenVPN/dev/fd

Thanks for the reply. I am usually able to ping everything when I am on the local network. My local network is 192.168.1.x, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and router 192.168.1.1. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I cannot change the subnet for home/work because it affects other systems. What else can I do to troubleshoot?

Followed the guide but the openvpn service doesn't seem to start properly. I'm getting a "WARNING: failed to start openvpn" message. Also notice that sockstat doesn't list port 443 as expected. Can anyone think of any reasons why this could be happening?

UPDATE 11/17/15: Well, I tried removing and re-installing OpenVPN and re-creating all the keys/configs per the guide, but... I'm getting the same behavior. Running sockstat still doesn't list port 443 (see output below). I am new to FreeNAS and OpenVPN, but I think I've followed the steps verbatim. Any help would be appreciated on helping to troubleshoot this.

I've posted this a few times in this thread, but whenever I've rebuilt this jail and got frustrated that it wasn't working, a server reboot miraculously solved things. Have you tried this?

Thanks for the feedback. I was able to troubleshoot the issue by changing the verbosity level to 5 in the config file. As it turned out, my copy-paste operation from this thread caused a "wrap" in the config file that inserted an additional line in the code that wasn't supposed to be there. After fixing that and restarting the FreeNAS server, it seems to be working correctly.

Thanks for the support and thanks to @robles for the excellent guide!

for some reason the first restart didnt fix it. But I restarted the server yesterday, and voila! It started working.

Thank you for all your help!
