I just installed openvpn 2.0.6 on gentoo and trying to connect via windows xp 2.0.7. I am not getting very far in the connection, i keep getting the messages "Unroutable control packet received from..." I did a lot of research but the answers didn't help. One of which says the cert generated is bad, but I verified both the client and server certs. The other answer was date/time is off but that isn't the case either. What am I doing wrong here?

client config:
Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote [server] 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
comp-lzo
verb 3



server config:
Code:
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca keys/ca.crt
cert keys/vpn.crt
key keys/vpn.key
dh keys/dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
push "route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0"
push "route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0"
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log

You need to read the log. And then follow the link it suggests.

http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm

You've almost cracked it.

Thanks for the info, that got rid of the warning but not the problem unfortunately. This is what I did...

I added this to the client config:
Code:
ns-cert-type server
tls-client
tls-auth ta.key 1
cipher BF-CBC


And this to the server config:
Code:
tls-server
tls-auth keys/ta.key 0
cipher BF-CBC


And now on the client logs the warning message is gone:
Code:
Thu Jul 27 10:11:34 2006 us=221245 Control Channel Authentication: using 'ta.key' as a OpenVPN static key file
Thu Jul 27 10:11:34 2006 us=221282 Outgoing Control Channel Authentication: Using 160 bit message hash 'SHA1' for HMAC authentication
Thu Jul 27 10:11:34 2006 us=242889 Incoming Control Channel Authentication: Using 160 bit message hash 'SHA1' for HMAC authentication


But on the server I still get this (not sure if this matters or not):
Code:
Thu Jul 27 10:21:01 2006 us=11862 ******* WARNING *******: all encryption and authentication features disabled -- all data will be tunnelled as cleartext


And on the client I still see these messages:
Code:
Thu Jul 27 10:22:27 2006 us=745792 TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from [server]:1194 (si=3 op=P_ACK_V1)
Thu Jul 27 10:22:37 2006 us=345341 TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from [server]:1194 (si=3 op=P_ACK_V1)
Thu Jul 27 10:22:48 2006 us=296248 TLS Error: Unroutable control packet received from [server]:1194 (si=3 op=P_ACK_V1)

Well this is silly but openvpn wasn't using the right config file is why I was having problems. :oops:
