Connecting to openvpn in jails

[cake maker]

Hi all,

Long shot here, because I think the problem is nothing to do with FreeNAS or jails, but I wondered if anyone here had any experience with this.
I set up a VPN using a guide and getting some sweet help from you guys, and can connect to it very easily and super quickly using my phone (android). However, when I try with Windows XP / Windows 7, it won't connect. I get the outputs as shown in the attached pic.

Would anyone have any idea what exactly is going wrong? It looks like a few things. The last two errors at the bottom keep repeating till a certain time out, before I'm asking for credentials again for a retry.

Permission denied adding route could be as easy as running openvpn client as an administrator.

That was certainly required to connect with OpenVPN with my wife's machine under W10.

Certainly it has to be permission related as the commands fail with permission denied. Curiously it is also trying to create a route with a 10.4 ip. Not sure what that is about. Im not much of a windows user so not sure what more to tell you. Looks like openvpn is having trouble meddling in the windows directory to me.

Thanks guys, I tried running as admin and it still didn't work, but I'll persist and post a result if I find one!

It seemed to be an issue with the cipher setting, although I'm not sure why it wouldn't work on Windows, but would work on Android without that. Anyhow, I used a windows sample file, which came with the:

Code:

# Select a cryptographic cipher.
# If the cipher option is used on the server
# then you must also specify it here.
# Note that 2.4 client/server will automatically
# negotiate AES-256-GCM in TLS mode.
# See also the ncp-cipher option in the manpage
cipher AES-256-CBC

cipher config. It seems to work, but I need to do some more tests.
