Tunnel traffic over open VPN server

[Gerold_Kathan]

aloha,

me again … I am close but I cannot find how to finally activate it:

• have configured a open VPN server on my home unifi UDM pro se
• have configured a VPN Client Profile in my peplink max bro mini here in my van (with the generated open VPN profile Fe from my unifi device)
• but now I have to clue how to activate it so that all traffic goes over this VPN Tunnel
• or is it imicitely active once I enable the openvpn profile on tbe peplink side ?

can anyone give me some hint?
thaanx and cheeerz in advance

just found the status->openvpn section and wondering how I can connect my openvpn profile ??
i just do not find a way to activate this VPN tunnel … am I blind ?

please enlighten me someone

ok … next step of self-enlightenment:

• detected that I am missing openvpn wan licence
• bought and installed it
• configured it
• but it cannot connect … tries to connect but remains disconnected
• the openvpn profile works eg just tested it on my pixel phone and there it connected seamlessly

could still something else be missing ?

@Gerold_Kathan Wondering if you ever had any success with this? I am in a very similar situation at the moment (trying to use OpenVPN Client from BR1 Mini back to a UXG-Max) and seeing the exact same behavior.

Without being able to view the logs on the Peplink, its very difficult to troubleshoot.

yez … I think I created a peplink ticket …and the guys fixed the open VPN profile which was generated from my unifi gateway … have to check … they commented the 2 red marked lines … and in my case now everything works
