When I run this, it seems to work but I can no longer get Sabnzbd to connect to my Supernews server. When I disable this plugin, it works fine. Any ideas as to what I can do to resolve it?

Great plugin i'd love to use !!

Unfortunately, after having set everything possible, i came with a fatal error :

Not connected! tun0 don't established, check your account settings!!!

 

I have no clue what this means since i dunno what could be wrong...

 

Here attached the log

log.txt

Hoe is your ovpn files look like? please attache.

 

Never have seen this error....

 

//Peter

Try to enabled again, but the log looks OK.......

did the enable/disable 3-4 times but no luck

Peter, thank you so much for all of your help. I hit this problem yesterday (could not create tun0) and upgrading to 2.6.5 seems to be working for me now.

 

Thanks!!

I have this same problem with VyprVPN

(but what is strange, some time ago when im use 2.5.2 version of plugin eveything was fine )

 

Now dont work on both i dont know why.

On PC, Windows, MacOS, and iOS work perfect

can be a issue with openvpn ver 2.3 ? I can made a test plugin with version  2.2.2 ??

 

But can you try one thing, run below command after a reboot

 

installplg /boot/plugins/openvpn_client_ver_2.6.5.plg

Then enable the connection, so all pkg are installed, there are some "old" version of the pkg in other plugins, so try to run above command and try this again

Here is a working ovpn file for VyprVPN  !!! 

 

Thanks to piotrasd, that I could use your account!

persist-tun

Can you attach your ovpn file?

I've tried both 256 and 160 encryption.  My VyperVPN works over windows and my phone and I've double check and re-checked userid/password.  I'm 100% sure my credentials are correct.

 

Try change line tls-remote us3.vpn.giganews.com on tls-remote us3.vpn.vyprvpn.com

or  tls-remote us3.vyprvpn.com

for me help

 

Thanks for @peter_sm for that info

Finally, got it working withe parameters you provided !! thx a lot Peter! 

 

Since i'd like to stay at IPVanish, does someone here has got a working ovpn file to share ?

I am using this with VyprVPN, and there will be times that it connects with the server (as shown on the control panel at Giganews) but reports no connection was established. I have figured out that a couple of tries with the enable/disable routine seems to work it out. I have to turn off the "current connections" on the control panel with each failed connection. But, when it finally works, awesome.

 

I have been working out how to have interchangeable files for the different servers. When I get several that work, I'll pass them along.

 

Thanks Peter.

While now it works like a charm, i can't access remotely to mserver anymore. I have port open and redirection in order to acess to the server interface, subsonic, etc.

They all are unreachable now. Moreover, even my android app Dsub (using subsonic) can't connect to the server.

I wonder what happened since i installed OpenVPN and turned it on. I thought i could access to the server with the IP (my very own IP).

 

FYR, it doesn't ping too for the open ports (like 80.60.123.32:5000), it only pings with the IP only (like 80.60.123.32)

 

*80.60.123.32 random IP i typed, not mine huh

Peter-

 

Writing to say THANK YOU!!

I signed up for Private Internet Access yesterday and have been having speed issues trying to use my Asus RT-N16 running Tomato as the gateway. Speeds were terrible and was blaming the service provider. Tried your plugin and should say, it has been a breeze getting up and running. No funny tweaks, no worrying about additional configurations, just worked following your directions. The speeds are not 100% as direct ISP but good enough.

 

It has been only a day. If interested i can report back on extended use.

 

My ISP maxes out at 3.6MBps.

Using SAB (Supernews), I get about 3.3-3.4 MBps. The only improvement so far can be the torrents.

Using transmission, without VPN I get 2.4 MBps while with the VPN I get about half that speed.

 

Any suggestions on how I can further improve this? I am copying my ovpn file below as provided by the VPN provider:

 

root@Tower:/boot/openvpn# cat USEast.ovpn

client

dev tun

proto udp

remote us-east.privateinternetaccess.com 1194

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-remote-ip

persist-tun

ca ca.crt

tls-client

remote-cert-tls server

comp-lzo

verb 1

reneg-sec 0

 

auth-user-pass /boot/config/openvpn/password.txt

 

well, have to say i didn't look to all of it here so far and have not installed it at this point (going to very soon).

anyway i thought i share a link to a free unlimited vpn server thast might be useful (it is for me on another computer)

hope it helps somebody here 

Great plugin. There is only one piece of functionality I cannot get working and that is down scripts. up scripts work fine, but down scripts do not get executed.

 

Thank you,

 

needo

 

EDIT: Found the issue. In /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn you have the kill command to stop openvpn as:

 

kill -9 $(cat /var/run/openvpn/openvpn.pid )

 

It should be

 

kill $(cat /var/run/openvpn/openvpn.pid )

 

kill -9 is bad bad bad bad. It just stops the process hard in its tracks and does not give it a chance to end the process and the threads nicely thus the down.sh script was never getting called.

Just a quick question I hope someone can answer. I've been using this plugin for about a week and I noticed at the bottom of the settings page it shows TX and RX. Now I used transmission and downloaded a 4GB file but for RX it says just over 600MB. Does this mean not all the traffic is going through the vpn? In the settings page it says its connected and shows my new IP and it doesn't seem to be dropping the connection. Just want some peace of mind and not worry that its not working right.

 

Thanks

New plugin with openvpn version 2.3.1

 

 

now I's show TX / RX from the vpn interface, instead if ifconfig

/sys/class/net/"interface"/statistics/tx_bytes
/sys/class/net/"interface"/statistics/rx_bytes

 

Also removed -9 from kill command

 

//Peter

Thanks Peter!

Question:

Is it possible to bind transmission to openvpn and nothing else? This kind of networking is not my strong suit and currently I run xubuntu in a vm to achieve this task but want to still be able to RDP into my vm's via my known ip from my ISP.

 

Thanks for the hard work and Bruce Willis avatar...

It is possible, but it requires some compiling and scripting. Most notably you need to recompile the kernel that comes with unRAID and build your own bzimage and bzroot.

 

I did it over the past week including writing all of the scripts that automate the startup process specific to my VPN provider including opening up a port. If there is demand for this I will be happy to publish my scripts and bzimage/bzroot.
