No IP change after connecting to the VPN #5

Closed metwork closed 11 years ago

metwork commented 11 years ago

Hello,

I used your older script from May 14 and everything worked great. Today I reinstalled my VPS (LowEndSpirit UK Location) and I would like to set up a VPN again with your script. The installation works great and I can connect to the VPN via OpenVPN. But my IP doesn't change. I tried different browsers and different sites (utrace.de, whoer.net ...).

My system: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OpenVPN (newest version) started as admin

My VPS: Debian 6.0.7 32 bit (newest version) minimal image from LowEndSpirit = nothing else is running

Thanks for your help in advance :)

If you are sure OpenVPN is running as administrator on Windows, please paste the log from your client on a Gist and let me know.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure.

Here is my log: https://gist.github.com/metwork/c624193ef4193f13ca18

Thanks.

I really fucked up with the updates today. Please, remove OpenVPN on the server using the provided option on the script and reinstall with the latest version.

It should be working now.

Thanks you for this script and the fast help!

It works great now.

Edit: Just a short question, the packages are now encrypted with 2048 bit right?

Thanks for reporting.

The RSA key is 2048 bits long. The TLS cipher for the connection is AES-256, a very strong one.
