@Hitesh_Dubey you don’t need to write Network Address to your OpenVPN Accounts and your Home network could not be like your office Range 192.168.1.0/24.

Dear Nas,

Are you talking about Network Address in New User tab or in Open VPN configuration Tab, Please let me know .

Please also tell me, VPN ONLY or SYSTEM USER

Dear Nas,

Sorry to bothered you again and again, But i am in trouble, i have to solve this

i have created system user without any network, i downloaded open vpn config file and deployed in OpenVpn Client, But its continuous in connecting mode

Senario is - I have one public ip ( without DNS ) natted with local ip 192.168.1.0 Range

All settings i have sent you in previous Reply with all snap.

Even i tried to connect with linux system But i got following Error

tommy@phoenix:~$ openvpn --config test.ovpn
