I have been through 10+ tutorials on setting up a OpenVPN, and each tutorial gives a different problem...
Does anyone know of a decent and helpful website/tutorial which I could go to to get it set up? I have been battling through it for almost 2 months now.
Yes, I have also bugged forums.openvpn, but I think I have "reached my post limit" with them.
I have to configure it remotely via ssh.
UPDATE:
okay, I have been asked to be more clear on the topic
I followed this tutorial (as a example) -
http://www.servermom.com/how-to-build-openvpn-server-on-centos-6-x/732/
I had no issues setting up, etc. except when I boot into windows and run the OpenVPN GUI Client, it connects and gives this error:
WARNING: Bad encapsulated packet length from peer (21331), which must be > 0 and <= 1576 -- please ensure that --tun-mtu or --link-mtu is equal on both peers -- this condition could also indicate a possible active attack on the TCP link -- [Attemping restart...]
Here is my server config:
port 1194 #- port
proto udp #- protocol
dev tun
tun-mtu 1500
tun-mtu-extra 32
mssfix 1450

// after this it just hangs, nothing happens
So I dont know what I am doing wrong but I am getting a bit impatient and on each forum I post this, I get stupid/unrelated/unhelpful answers...
