OpenVPN - Ubunut 10.04 - Client Can't Connect to Server - Linux Route Add Command Failed
- by nicorellius
I suppose this could be asked on Server Fault as well, but it is specific to the client so I thought I'd start here. I have keys for a OpenVPN server already in place. I have used these keys to connect already, but using a Windows XP machine. I started by building the client.conf file so that I could run:
sudo openvpn --config client.conf
And it seems correct but I still can't connect and get these errors and lines of output:

I searched the net for forums and ideas and tried some file moving and renaming but still ended up in the same place.
