Question
Ubuntu 14.4 and openvpn as -- Gui not accessible
After installing openvpn access server on an Ubuntu 14.4 droplet, I am unable to access the Gui. My browser is unable to access the site. Does anyone have an idea what the issue is. I had done this several times before with an earlier version of openvpn access server with no issues.

I also have the same problem.
Check the port the AS web server is listening on and verify that your firewall is working. ufw can break after upgrades.
The problem is not in the firewall
Can you post the output of the following command?
ubi@serv:~# sudo netstat -plutn

Same problem, worked on a droplet I set up last week but made a new one today and it no longer connects. Can still SSH into the droplet and if I install Apache2 I can access the default page on port 80 so doesn’t look like a firewall issue.

Found a fix, run:
sudo /usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init
When you get to the section:
Please specify the network interface and IP address to be
used by the Admin Web UI:
(1) all interfaces: 0.0.0.0
(2) eth0: YOURPUBLICIP
(3) eth0: 10.10.0.8
Make sure you select all interfaces, for some reason it defaults to 2, which makes it not public. Works for me now.
ryanb93, Big thanks for help!!!
Thanks ryanb93. I have been struggling for days
Thanks, it’s work for me to. ryanb93
Thanks ryanb93! But what changed? Why it worked, at least until 09.10.2015 for me, and then something changed, and brokened.. Anybody know? understand what it can be?
I used Debian 8.1 instead of Ubuntu and the result is the same - can’t access the web UI.
