OpenVPN Session problem with OpenVN 2.0.9

Hi,
This add-on was not created by me and the guy that did it is no longer responding to my email. I will try to help you the best I could. Can you post a printscreen of the message ? Also, when you use it externally, what command line do you use?

The error is

Options error: Unrecognized option or missing parameter(s) in client.ovpn:2: <connection> (2.0.9)
Use --help for more information.

the external command is:
openvpn --disable-occ --config client.ovpn

where client.ovpn is:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2481 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is ip address of vpn server)
ca ca.crt
cert client-cert.crt"
key client-key.key"
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3

Can you send me an export of you VPN session configured. You can remove all your server information in it?

What is the option disable-occ? I can't find it. Does it work in command line without this option?

--disable-occDon't output a warning message if option inconsistencies are detected between peers.

attached my RDM OpenVpn session

This is the RDM session file

client
<connection>
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2481 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = ip address)
proto udp
</connection>
dev tun
proto udp
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key

Hi,

With the new addon I've got following errors.

Hi,
If you create a new VPN entry, do you get the error ? Does it happen only when you edit. I will do some test on my side.

Hi,
I reproduced the problem and it's happening when you have two OpenVPNAddOn dll installed. Delete the one in your application installation folder and replace the one in %LocalAppData%\Devolutions\RemoteDesktopManager with the new version.

Hi,
I've done, but now it seems doesn't works the SAVE button in the Add Host window of the new Addon, instead, the CANCEL button is working.

Hi,
I fixed the problem. Can you try this version.

Hi,
Is not working, but I have found the problem.
The RDM addon write the <connection> and </connection> raws, that are not correctly interpreted by openvpn engine. If you want to try, create the openvpn configuration inside RDM and run the created config file directly from openvpn and you get the error message.
If you modify the config file removing <connection> and </connection>, it works.

client
<connection>
remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 2481 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = ip address)
proto udp
</connection>
dev tun
proto udp
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key

Hi,
I found what you were talking about and I don't know why it was coded this way. I made the change, can you try this version?

Hi,
now it's working. Thank you for your job.

Davide

Thank you, I will release it officially.
