Can't connect to a VPN server












0















Have follow this guide and I think I got the VPN server to work
https://linuxconfig.org/openvpn-setup-on-ubuntu-18-04-bionic-beaver-linux
I did connect it one time but not anymore and not sure why.
On my client it say it trying to connect but get a time out.
The router have port forward 1194 UDP to the VPN server.
I have try both disable and enable the firewall on the VPN server but it I can't access to the VPN server. If it was so it was something wrong with the cert that I can understand but not connect to the server??



Firewall status say



Status: active

To Action From
-- ------ ----
1194 ALLOW Anywhere
22/tcp ALLOW Anywhere
1194 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
22/tcp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)


When I run this



sudo systemctl is-active openvpn@server


it say
active

  • You connected one time, so you already know it's not the firewall.
