OpenVPN connection from a Linux client [OMV running the openVPN server]

  • I've been using OMV with the openVPN plugin since OMV 0.5
    Now I'm with the latest 2.1
    Everything has always worked fine whenever I tried to connect from a Windows client (using the config files downloaded from the web-gui)
    Now I'd like to connect from a Linux client running Ubuntu 14.04
    Thus I'm using the very same files (config and certs) that are running with no issue on the very same laptop (when I boot in Windows) I keep on failing


    Same error message both if I copy the config files to the /etc/openvpn/ directory or I import them via the network manager
    googling this error message was no use
    here is the error message I get


  • the server is running on 1194 TCP, but I have a port fw rule on the router.
    Actually the public IP is responding on port 443
    I need to do this because most of public Wi-Fi providers (Hotels, Airports, etc) just let you go ONLY through port 80 (default http) and 443(default https)
    As I wrote, not issue since 3 years connecting from a Windows client
    same configuration
