I have installed Open VPN. Both in my servers and in my computer. I see my log files as :

Aug 18 18:37:57 ubuntu openvpn[27931]: Exiting

I wonder where is the problem, which makes VPN to reconnect. Note that the file ovpn.key is in the current directory!. But still its showing cannot open file error message.

Can anybody say me where I'm making mistake?

Thanks in advance.

  • Always reference you key with an absolute file name, not a relative one!

  • If it still doesn't work, check the file permissions.
