LAB 14.2 OpenVPN problems
Hello again ![]()
I'm struggling this time with lab 14.2 and openvpn configuration
I followed all the steps in the lab exercise, however I can't run openvpn with
systemctl start openvpn@main
System returns error: Failed to start openvpn@main.service: Unit openvpn@main.service not found.
I've managed to run openvpn with
sudo openvpn main.conf and sudo openvpn secondary.conf respectively
After running like this, I can ping 10.8.0.1 and 10.8.0.2 from both machines
Firewall port 1194/udp on main is open and telnet server is running on secondary.example.com
When I login to secondary viatelnet 10.8.0.2
I can still capture all the traffic via wireshark on main (tun0) in plain text (?!)
How is this possible ? What am I doing wrong ?
I would also like to know why I can't start openvpn with systemctl as suggested in the lab...
Thanks a lot for your time !

OK, I've realized that I'm probably listening to local traffic (on tun0) before it's being encrypted and that I should listen on private network interface ?
