Hello there....i just tried RealVNC(realvnc.com) with my OpenVPN Tunnel
but it still doesn't work. I can connect I can move the mouse on the
remote PC but I don't get any display. vnc is also not better than
remotedesktop what is wrong with my OpenVPN? this beginns to drive me
crazy. A simple pptp connection with poptop works, but isn't suitable
for my situation.
i added my configuration file. hope someone can find the problem
Edit this file, and save to a .ovpn extension
# so that OpenVPN will activate it when run
# as a service.
# Change 'myremote' to be your remote host,
# or comment out to enter a listening
# server mode.
remote theremoteservers_domain ;)
# Uncomment this line to use a different
# port number than the default of 5000.
port 5001
# Choose one of three protocols supported by
# OpenVPN. If left commented out, defaults
# to udp.
;proto [tcp-server | tcp-client | udp]
;proto tcp-client
# You must specify one of two possible network
# protocols, 'dev tap' or 'dev tun' to be used
# on both sides of the connection. 'tap' creates
# a VPN using the ethernet protocol while 'tun'
# uses the IP protocol. You must use 'tap'
# if you are ethernet bridging or want to route
# broadcasts. 'tun' is somewhat more efficient
# but requires configuration of client software
# to not depend on broadcasts. Some platforms
# such as Solaris, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X only
# support 'tun' interfaces, so if you are
# connecting to such a platform, you must also
# use a 'tun' interface on the Windows side.
# Enable 'dev tap' or 'dev tun' but not both!
dev tap
# This is a 'dev tap' ifconfig that creates
# a virtual ethernet subnet.
# 10.3.0.1 is the local VPN IP address
# and 255.255.255.0 is the VPN subnet.
# Only define this option for 'dev tap'.
ifconfig 192.10.1.102 255.255.255.0
# This is a 'dev tun' ifconfig that creates
# a point-to-point IP link.
# 10.3.0.1 is the local VPN IP address and
# 10.3.0.2 is the remote VPN IP address.
# Only define this option for 'dev tun'.
# Make sure to include the "tun-mtu" option
# on the remote machine, but swap the order
# of the ifconfig addresses.
;tun-mtu 1500
;ifconfig 192.10.1.102 192.10.1.101
# If you have fragmentation issues or misconfigured
# routers in the path which block Path MTU discovery,
# lower the TCP MSS and internally fragment non-TCP
# protocols.
;fragment 1300
;mssfix
# If you have set up more than one TAP-Win32 adapter
# on your system, you must refer to it by name.
;dev-node my-tap
# You can generate a static OpenVPN key
# by selecting the Generate Key option
# in the start menu.
#
# You can also generate key.txt manually
# with the following command:
# openvpn --genkey --secret key.txt
#
# key must match on both ends of the connection,
# so you should generate it on one machine and
# copy it to the other over a secure medium.
# Place key.txt in the same directory as this
# config file.
secret key.txt
# Uncomment this section for a more reliable
# detection when a system loses its connection.
# For example, dial-ups or laptops that travel
# to other locations.
#
# If this section is enabled and "myremote"
# above is a dynamic DNS name (i.e. dyndns.org),
# OpenVPN will dynamically "follow" the IP
# address of "myremote" if it changes.
