Further to my problems with OpenVPN on the SF4008 it now seems there is a problem with OpenVPN on the Zero with the latest update, it won't start from UI or telnet.


root@vuzero:~# opkg install openvpn
Package openvpn (2.4.0-r0.1) installed in root is up to date.
root@vuzero:~#
root@vuzero:~# opkg install kernel-module-tun
Package kernel-module-tun (3.13.5-.4) installed in root is up to date.
root@vuzero:~#
root@vuzero:~# /etc/init.d/./openvpn start
Starting openvpn:.
root@vuzero:~#

another issue i can see there is that you had to install the tun module separately
it should be installed with openvpn

No m8, that was just to show both are installed and up to date.

There appears to be no existing openvpn profile in /etc/openvpn
Put one there and repeat.
Keep in mind that OpenVPN profiles on Linux have the .conf extension, not .ovpn

You were correct, in my haste to get this box back up I stupidly put my backup openvpn folder inside /etc/openvpn instead of just the contents so it ended up as /etc/openvpn/openvpn

Mark thread as solved :o

My suggestion to try is to telnet the following before attempting start:

update-rc.d openvpn defaults

Worked for me when I had similar problem.

Sorry, but I can't resist:
OpenATV would backup + restore the /etc/openvpn folder for you automagically when doing online/couch flash or when saving+restoring settings :)

So does Openvix do that normally as well no problem but this was upgrading from a earlier old image where a settings restore is not permited by the system or recommended :p

Have a look in your settings file - it will tell you if any vpn folders are being backed up.
Or go thru backup manager and you can find out from there.

Really struggleing with this one, no matter what tutorial I follow I can't get openvpn to start.
how do you get rid of the opvn extention when that's the original file format.
