Unfortunately, I can not tell you exactly which one was the solution. # stop all vpn logins, ie close down all client access # now, do the following cat /var/run/ovpnserver.log cat /var/var/ovpnserver.log # one of these is likely an empty file openvpnctrl -k # kill the openvpn service rm /var/run/ovpnserver.log rm /var/var/ovpnserver.log # make sure the configuration option is correct grep ovpnserver.log /var/ipfire/ovpn/server.conf openvpnctrl -s # start the openvpn service cat /var/run/ovpnserver.log cat /var/var/ovpnserver.log # one of the above should have the headers in it, hopefully /var/run # if /var/run/ovpnserver.log has the headers, you should be good # now, make a vpn connection, let it get established, then cat /var/run/ovpnserver.log # you should see the new vpn connection. If you do, stats and connection # will show. An empty ovpnserver.log file looks as follows. This is with no connections to it. This appears to be the file that all stats and displays come from. ---------------------------------------------------------------- OpenVPN CLIENT LIST Updated,Mon Apr 27 14:15:56 2015 Common Name,Real Address,Bytes Received,Bytes Sent,Connected Since ROUTING TABLE Virtual Address,Common Name,Real Address,Last Ref GLOBAL STATS Max bcast/mcast queue length,0 END ---------------------------------------------------------------- Rod On 04/27/2015 11:37 AM, robert wrote: > Thanks Rod > On 27.04.2015 17:40, Rod Rodolico wrote: >> Hi Robert, >> >> Do you have access to the command line?
