Re: topology net30

You are still using topology net30 in your server config file.
It is only used for real old windows clients.
Where each client has his own network (each with 4 ip's)

a better option, and in the future only supported is
topology subnet

Change it in you config file (usually /etc/openvpn/server ...

Re: 'unknown': I need something more specific.

I found a work around,
put all the output of the script to /dev/null in cron,
so it doesn't send mails.

Code: Select all

test.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
But this is not exactly what I want.
I want to know the rootcause.

Re: system crashes at boot

Sure it is crashing because of disk ?

You can disable mounting the disk in /etc/fstab
Just comment it out with #
or you can add noauto , so it doesn't mount at boot.
like for a cd-rom
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/cd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0

Or you can add nofail, so ...

Re: test disk speed

You can use:
sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda

You should see something like this:
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 15132 MB in 1.99 seconds = 7586.99 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 330 MB in 3.00 seconds = 109.86 MB/sec

Re: swap partition not present

You can choose to add a swap-file.
Similar to what windows does.

you create a swap-file, usually in root. But do it on the partition with the most space.
sudo fallocate -l 2G /swapfile

Usually you take 2 times the available ram, 1G ram x 2 = 2G swapfile.

Assign it read/write permissions for ...

Re: openvpn Authenticate/Decrypt packet error: packet HMAC authentication failed

This usually means you have the wrong ta.key installed on Server or client.

Check

Code: Select all

tls-auth /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/ta.key 0
or

Code: Select all

<tls-crypt>
Make sure the are the same.
