Looks like you need to put quotes around the entire filename. Try 'single quotes like this'

linux does not like white spaces thats why you are getting that error.

rename the .ovpn on your pc without the white spaces and transfer it over or enter the following

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

and press the tab button that will auto complete the file name if its the only file that starts with San in that folder.

are you sure you transferred the .ovpn in to the roots home folder?

can you run this command for me.

You could of course install the VPN to a raspberry PI, and then just route the traffic that way. Split your network into a /24, and split the traffic. Anything with an IP upto .128 goes out the normal internet, and anything upto .254 goes out over the VPN.

He sent me the opvn file as well so I assumed it would work , couldnt find a guide so tried guides for PIA and a couple of others to no avail, so contacted them again and was told it didnt work yet (go figure) BUT hey that was last year

@brian0812

in the log file you uploaded it is running.
stop it using

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

then run this command

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

now run the command below

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

then run

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.

see if the results are different

BTW this shouldnt be working as you do not appear to have anything in the root folder and also you should not have to use the quations arounf the ovpn file name.

can you run this command for me

[Grimeire]

root@LEDE:~# ls
San.ovpn

Oh yeah i can see you do now. can you also run it without the quotes as these are not needed or at least i have never had to use them and i have set up about 5-10 openvpn servers and 50+ clients

can u run this command

You don't have permission to view the code content. Log in or register now.
