Hello, I started the tutorial again and everything works (By putting the port 443). I have a question, my vpn server have a nat address 192.168.x.x, if I am outside of my home how the vpn client can find the vpn server ? i need
Hello,
i change the port in server and client, i have the same problem
in debian (server)
vi /etc/openvpn/server.conf
port 443
ufw allow 443/udp ufw status To Action From
22 ALLOW Anywhere 443/udp ALLOW Anywhere 22 (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6) 443/udp (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
in windows (client) i wrote in file client.ovpn remote x.x.x.x 443
(i can ping debian -> windows and windows -> debian, To rule out some assumptions ^^.)
when i do netstat -antu i don’t have port 443 listening may be it’s a clue ? netstat -antu | grep ‘443’ return nothing
