Gargoyle Forum

I'm on version 1.5.9 of Gargoyle on a TP-LINK wdr3600 and are having issues connecting via OpenVPN to the router when using my iPhone to connect via the OpenVPN app that was just released.

The message I'm getting is Can anyone help figure out what might be cause of this?

Same problem here, did you ever find a solution?

Ok, have it working now. Seems the problem lay in the fact that certain settings weren't being pushed to the iOS client.

To get it working I added the following lines to the /etc/openvpn/server.conf file.
(Note that 192.168.0.1 is the non-standard address of my gargoyle router, you should change this to your router's own IP.)

Hit restart in the web interface, wait until it has completed and enjoy.

Thanks!

I think the key line above is the "push topology subnet" line, which is now included in any configuration generated by gargoyle 1.5.11. This was a fix included in the official release, no need for one of ispyisail's builds (though it will be there too). If you are on 1.5.11 but generated configuration files on an older version and preserved settings during upgrade it probably won't be there.

I was able to connect with an android client with adding just the "push topology subnet line", not the "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.1" line, which I do not think is necessary and is a command that is mostly for use with a TAP interface not a TUN interface like what gargoyle uses. I don't have any iOS devices (just android), so it would be helpful if someone with an iOS device could verify that the "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.1" is not necessary.

My internal host names won't resolve without the dhcp-option.

Default setup is not working for me.
The openvpn app shows

The result is, that i can't access hosts in my internal lan.
After adding the following option to /etc/server.conf

push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway"

Internal lan access is working.

The log file now shows

So there is still an error in the sent options (I think the problem is number 6). So this is ignored. My custom routing seems to fix that...

I've just upgraded to 1.6.1 (clean install), and I'm now having the same issue as maihacke.

Hello,

I just upgraded to new version 1.7.1
The problem still exists.
Could you change openvpn setup to automatically ad the following line to server.conf

push "route 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway"

Obviously firts part had to be replaced by router subnet

Sadly there is no developer reaction here in the forum, nor is this bug fixed. To just a short updated for everyone interested.
Since newer version there is a per client file with routing settings in /etc/openvpn/ccd

you have to change the push option there (replace gateway ip with "vpn_gateway" without ")
