Re: Problems with OpenVPN+routing and creating tun0 interface

Hi,
I want to set up OpenVPN to create and configure tun0 interface and
connect to OpenVPN server. The main obstacle seems to be my inability to
configure either OpenVPN or FreeBSD to actually create that tun0 interface.

If I try to create it manually I get this:

$ ifconfig -v tun create inet 192.168.23.203 192.168.23.1
ifconfig: SIOCIFCREATE: Invalid argument

The kernel config has the "device tun" line and there are tun[0-3] in /dev.

So what am I doing wrong?

The problme was on the server, it had my address restricted in firewall.

I managed to make the tunnel. And I could ping the 192.168.23.1 address
from mine 192.168.23.4. I had to restart the serivce because I did some
changes to the OpenVPN client configuraton. Now I cannot ping again. But
according to tcpdump the connection is there. And I cannot even ping
mine 192.168.23.4. Missing routes or someting, after I restarted the serice?
