VPN no longer working #5029

Closed stupesX closed 7 years ago

stupesX commented 7 years ago

I have a ZOTAC AD11 Plus. I have upgraded from 6.0.3 to 8.0.0 today and openVPN has stopped working. The thrust of the error is: ERROR Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2)

OpenVPN is reporting as 2.4.1 x86_64-openelec-linux-gnu Apr 9th build.

I believe the issue is that the module support for the kernel dev/net/tun is not properly supported. I would be happy to use a different VPN program if one is advised?

OK the fix was as follows from this page: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt

Create device node: mkdir /dev/net (if it doesn't exist already) mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

Set permissions: e.g. chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun

Ok just to clean this one off. I realised that /dev/net/tun disappeared on reboot doh!

I therefore ssh in and nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh below are the contents: ( mkdir /dev/net; mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200; chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun; ) &

... then reboot
