remote 184.154.4.2 443
auth-user-pass /boot/config/plugins/openvpn/password.txt

status /tmp/openvpn/openvpn-status.log

 

One other item to also note is the plugin writes the 'auth-user-pass' inline with the "remote 184.154.4.2 443" so it looks like this before I edit it 

remote 184.154.4.2 443auth-user-pass /boot/config/plugins/openvpn/password.txt

 

Using HMA VPN service.  Works great on my ubuntu system using gopenvpn.  You can grab all their ovpn files for TCP and UDP at http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/vpn-config.zip

 

One small request would be to have the plugin check/create the '/boot/openvpn' directory at installation and perhaps have some text on the settings page to the effect install the ovpn file there.  The plugin was silk until I had trouble figuring out where to place the ovpn file.  Ended up going through the plugin code to see where it was looking for the file to figure it out.  Also may want to put a check in to detect two interfaces being used, in my case it was 'tun0' and 'tun1' and the plugin was happy yet nothing was going in the tunnel.  Other than those few issues, nice work on the plugin.

 

Edit: noticed you updated the plugin to 2.7.11, the above was using 2.7.10

On first page is stated

Unpack your provider certificate/files to /boot/openvpn (create that folder if it's not exist) shall be the ovpn file and all other files (crt, key ......)

But I can add to plugin so this folder creates if not exist, but you should have done that before you install the plugin  ;)

Can you add your original ovpn file to /boot/openvpn, the plugin shall have been fixed to avoid this, please check, if not I need to check this again  ;)

A bit long, but trying to get you the most info...

 

Upgraded to 2.7.11.  Clicked start and said it was connected, yet the plugin did not update status.  Attached is screenshot - OpenVpnPlugin2711.jpg.  Same behavior it had with 2.7.10 in my case.  If I click start again I go into an incredibly long wait - upwards of 5-10 minutes.  I had to hard reset last night because even a telnet powerdown would not free it up after 20+ minutes.  Below is a snippet of the syslog from 2.7.11.  Last night the line 'Aug 17 11:22:36 Tower avahi-daemon[23050]: Withdrawing workstation service for tun5.' would cycle between tun0 and tun1 for minutes on end.

I replaced the ovpn file with a clean copy as requested.  When I clicked start, the file was written to, was assigned an IP and said was connected, yet the plugin reported not connected and had the option to click start still available.  The below is the ovpn file unaltered by me other than removing the hashes for the keys/certs:

I could not connect until I broke up the line:

I rebooted the server to see how it works from clean start.  First time clicking 'start' it ran through the connection, said it was connected in the log at the bottom, but the plugin still showed not connected with option of clicking start still enabled.  Tun5 was listed in the interface list.  I clicked start again and has been sitting there for the past 3-4 minutes.  The one line that is cut off by the 'waiting for tower' is ' Logging in to VPN was successful'. (OpenVPNPlugin2711-3.jpg)

 

At 4-5 minutes the plugin updated.  'OpenVPNPlugin2711-4.jpg' is the result of that.

At this point the VPN is connected and traffic is going in the tunnel, though the WAN IP is not listed in the plugin page as seen in the second screenshot.  Stopping and starting the plugin does not change the results (WAN IP).  Below is the last openvpn log:

I have fixed the update of the ovpn  ;D, so the new updates going in to own line, new plugin will be uploaded later.....

 

going to check your other issue....

 

what do you see if you type in this command ? with connected and not connected

 

curl -s curl -s https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/how-it-works/  | grep "IP Address:"

  • Author

for me is the rout looks like this

 

connected

 

Wan ip : 178.73.202.156

The curl command returned nothing, though curl by itself worked which means it is in the path.  Using Putty with telnet.  With OpenVPN connected and not connected all traffic was still going through the active tunnel.  Yep - with the plugin stopped the tunnel was still active.  I rebooted the server and tried the curl command again with the same result - no output.  I removed he grep portion and got a few lines of header info from the web site, but no IP.  I definitely did not get full output though (without the pipe to grep) compared to running the same command on my xubuntu system.  Subsequent tries with grep or no grep produced nothing.  As a sanity check, I tried it on my xubuntu system with VPN disconnected and connected and the command works fine and shows different IP for connected/disconnected.

 

I rebooted the server again and tried the curl command again before starting openvpn and had same result no output with or without the pipe to grep.  Did tracepath and it works - goes through my ISP.  Started the VPN and curl command still not work, tracepath showed it went through the tunnel, but same issue on the plugin page - no WAN IP.  Stopped the VPN and this time tun5 was removed and a tracepath showed the tunnel was disconnected and traffic was going through my ISP again.  Curl command still reports nothing  - no output.

 

I have only installed the plugin and the ovpn file - have not done anything else with openvpn.  I have Sabnzbd, Sickbeard, Couchpotato, Headphones (all four influencer unplugged), Subsonic, Plex (though not enabled), unMENU, and cache_dirs plugin installed on 5.0rc16c.  No active downloads or processing.  Let me know what else you need.

Output from plugin page when VPN connected:

After a reboot, I have to click 'start' two times to get a connection.  The first time through I get 'tun5' to appear, but no connection and the second time around I get a connection but no WAN IP reported.  VPN is up, however.  Screenshot attached.

It looks like you don't get any info from 

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/hide-my-ip/

 

Hovewer there are a change in the new version for this, it's now use 

http://my-ip-address.com/

Yep, I disabled the silent switch and saw that I had to use the '-k' switch because curl reports the certificate for that site being invalid or something to that effect.  I changed it in the plugin to: 

curl -s http://geoip.hidemyass.com/ip/

 

Seems to work on reporting WAN IP.  Still trying to figure out why it always takes two attempts to start up the VPN and why the stop does not always kill the openvpn process.  Also fixed the problem with writing the auth-user... thing where it writes it to the end of an existing line.  The '\n' was at the end of the line instead of the beginning:

echo -e "\nauth-user-pass /boot/config/plugins/openvpn/password.txt" >> /boot/openvpn/$ovpn

Can you see if latest version are OK ?

 

Try with original ovpn file

The reason I could not stop the VPN (plugin reports it stopped, but VPN was still active) was because the PID changed from the time the plugin wrote the pid file to the time it was called to kill it by reading the pid file.  I changed the plugin kill command to this:

killall -HUP openvpn

Seems to work every time.  Still trying to figure out why it takes two attempts to start the VPN.

 

Can you see if latest version are OK ?

 

Try with original ovpn file

 

Tried 2.7.12:

 

* WAN IP works because it is not using that https://privateinternet whatever address that curl reports as having invalid certificate.

* writing the auth-user... line to the ovpn file works because you have the extra echo line to add \n.  Look at previous post to use only one echo to correct (move the \n to the begining of string instead of the end, same for both writes).

See new version (2.7.13) , it shall be OK to connect the first time after a reboot.

version (2.7.14) Minor WEB UI changing, moved update button top of right side

 

 

after the new update the UI is a little messed up the words are overlapping under the updates section. I have tried clearing the cache but still is the same thing.

As I mentioned in my PM, I'd like you to take a look at the attached plugin-in.  Some screen shots are attached.  Fixed the stuff that we have been exchanging posts on for the past couple days and added another feature to show current host and location.  I don't use the extended routing or simple features so those hooks are not tested.  Fixed the writing of the ovpn file by relocating the '\n', fixed the connection issues requiring two clicks to start it by incorporating the longer sleep times you implemented and also did some reordering in the connection process, and fixed the stop issue by ignoring the pid file captured at start and going more direct since openvpn can restart on it's own and change pid.

  • The center picture is connected to a Chicago VPN server  (no errors in the openVPN log)
  • The right picture is connected to a Belgium VPM server.

I really like the addition of the Current Host and location that you made. Very helpful. When you are changing your Hosts and locations are you just putting a different .ovpn file in you openvpn folder?

Correct - just a different ovpn file for a different VPN server available from my VPN provider.  The host location and flag display is determined through a curl http query that way you know for sure if the VPN is connected or not and who you are connected to.

Thats perfect. It would be great if there was a drop down that had all of the ovpn files an we could just select one from the UI.

Thanks for the updates, I will take a look and implement this on the GIT, so you can remove the attached file now, and I will update this during the week.

 

Thanks for your help. further discussion I like to take over PM, so we not cover this thread with our discussions.

Wow that's awesome. I completely understand, Thank you for all the great work you have done so far.

I have SABnzbd set up to send me a notification email when a downloading completes. Now that i have started running a vpn SAB is unable to connect to the mail server. How would i go about allowing this email to still happen. Would i create a bypassed.txt file the enter the ip address for gmail? Thank you in advance

Does SAB report anything in its logs for the email not being sent?
