jesus christ ive been trying to get openvpn working on digitalocean vps for 2 days now, ive watched a load of different vids and no matter what i end up with this when trying to go to the admin panel
I made a new ubuntu 14 server like he said in this vid
did
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-2.0.21-Ubuntu14.amd_64.deb
dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.0.21-Ubuntu14.amd_64.deb
then it tells me to go to https://5.101.100.60:943/admin
and i just get connection refused. tried this legit 5 diff times with diff vid each time, what is going wrong
Lol seriously? Check your ports fool.

also do it through a VPN
>>51837561
wot about them, i dont know shit about any of this, all the vids ive watched they just do those 2 commands and the web pannel works perfectly
>>51837604
Open port 943 and make sure it an accept incoming connections nub
>>51837661
i tried that already with
sudo ufw allow 22
no idea how to check if its accepting connections
>>51837748
i mean
ufw allow 943
root@kys3:~# sudo ufw allow 943
Rules updated
Rules updated (v6)
>>51837763
Open port 943 on your routers firewall nub
is there not a one-click install for openvpn? if not, why aren't you following the guide on DO? those are pretty simple to do.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
>>51837783
I already tried doing that last night so its already open atm
when i check it on websites,
some sites say its open and some say its closed but it is 100% forwarded
>>51837822
there isnt, and ive followed that exact guide, everything went fine, made the ovpn file. but when i tried to connect it just kept failing
>>51837856
kinda hard to believe that something is wrong with the guide and not your setup.
how did you try to connect to it?
>>51837902
just imported the config file into openvpn after putting them all together like it says
>>51837928
if it is too hard to troubleshoot for you, I have tried vultr and they did have a one-click install for openvpn, few more locations compared to DO, remember spinning one up in tokyo
maybe try that instead?
>>51837976
i would if i didnt already have DO credit
>>51837518
Use this
https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install
It works perfectly
>>51837518
"wget" this:
https://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/download-openvpn-as-sw/113.html?osfamily=Ubuntu (take the link according to your distro - copy it)
"dpkg -i" + "package name" - install it
"adduser openvpn" - set password, etc
"https://your.ip.goes.here/" - login, download the acces client
congrants you've just insalled openvpn
