-------------- Original message from [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -------------- OK, solved. What happened was, that the network was not set up correctly at the time when openvpn was started. I appears the DHCP on ethernet is really slow. So I removed the /etc/rc2.d/S??openvpn file and set up the /etc/network/if-up.d/openvpn file (it was already there, I just added a few lines) : #!/bin/sh if [ "$IFACE" == lo ]; then exit 0 # I added this check to not run 2 copies of ovpn , one for lo and one for eth1 # the first (lo) would then hang there and the second would fail as the first # holds the 1194 port fi OPENVPN=/etc/init.d/openvpn # I added this to define the config name : /etc/openvpn/gamma.conf IF_OPENVPN=gamma if [ ! -x $OPENVPN ]; then exit 0 fi if [ -n "$IF_OPENVPN" ]; then $OPENVPN start $IF_OPENVPN fi Regards, David PS: Any idea why I can't post to debian-user ?

If Youre loged in as root and it start ok, try to make a su to the user that openvpn runs and see what happens. Edson.

I've been using an OpenVPN client setup for months with success and now I decided to start it automatically during startup. I copied the config file to /etc/openvpn/tun1.conf and the used key file also : /etc/openvpn/key If I now start it with " /etc/init.d/openvpn start", it works fine. But if I reboot, it connects to the VPN server, but does not set the routes (I have "route-gateway 10.4.0.1" and "redirect-gateway def1" in the config file). The last lines after boot are : NET: Registered protocol familiy 10 lo: Disabled Privacy Extensions IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling driver eth1: no IPv6 routers present
