Hi, I have a VPS running up to date wheezy, with an OpenVPN server, and a wheezy box at home running an OpenVPN client. this used to work fine last year. I haven't had cause to use it much recently, and I now find it's died. I don't know when, or what changed to cause the fault.
It appears that the client end is failing to start; running openvpn /etc/openvpn/tony-lx.conf ends up with: Mon Oct 5 15:08:50 2015 ROUTE default_gateway=192.168.1.1 Mon Oct 5 15:08:50 2015 Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such device (errno=19) Mon Oct 5 15:08:50 2015 do_ifconfig, tt->ipv6=0, tt->did_ifconfig_ipv6_setup=0 Mon Oct 5 15:08:50 2015 /sbin/ifconfig 10.8.0.22 pointopoint 10.8.0.21 mtu 1500 SIOCSIFADDR: No such device : ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFDSTADDR: No such device : ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device SIOCSIFMTU: No such device Mon Oct 5 15:08:50 2015 Linux ifconfig failed: external program exited with error status: 1 Mon Oct 5 15:08:50 2015 Exiting Modprobe tun gives me ERROR: could not insert 'tun': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Running dmesg gives me many iterations of: [1266903.741500] Loading kernel module for a network device with CAP_SYS_MODULE (deprecated).

Can anyone please point me in the right direction? -- Tony van der Hoff | mailto:t...@vanderhoff.org Buckinghamshire, England |
