Re: VPN suggestions
 

Hmm, I think you get this error because you don't have Bash installed which the script requires, and Busybox /bin/sh is not compatible with Bash scripts.

Therefore you must install Bash from Application Manager.

After installed, from x-term execute:

$ whereis bash

Now you know where bash is located (probably either /bin/bash or /usr/bin/bash ...) now edit /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf and make sure on top to replace whatever it says to

#!/path/to/bash

Where /path/to/bash is what whereis told you.

PS: Whatever was the result of the host and ping commands?

Re: VPN suggestions
 

I installed bash, but the the whereis command comes up empty. I even went into root and did whereis bash. They both say "not found"

Re: VPN suggestions
 

Try this

$ ls -l /bin/bash* /usr/bin/bash* /usr/local/bin/bash*

or

$ dpkg -L bash | grep bin/

Re: VPN suggestions
 

using "$ dpkg -L bash | grep bin/ " it listed /usr/bin/bash-setup. So is /usr/bin the path. I cd to the location then did "ls bash" and it still said "no such file or directory".

Re: VPN suggestions
 

bash-setup is probably a post-installation script. Sounds like a strange way to set up a debian package. Someone who is familiar with this package will have to tell you how to fix that. It could be as simple as entering /usr/bin/bash-setup and see what it does. But on your own risk.

Hey mikkov,
Any chance you might know why I can view Jaiku but not twitter in my Ivacy config in openvpn? It was working, but then I tethered to my cell and it stopped working. Now I'm back on wifi and it still won't work but Jaiku does.

Re: VPN suggestions
 

Well, it's really hard to say. But it seems that the twitter ip you had is in Beijing so, so it's probably a dns issue as others have said.

Latest openvpn package for maemo comes with it's own update-resolv-conf. You could try the following config. Note that I have no idea if it works or not.


client
dev tun
proto udp
remote openvpn.ivacy.com 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
auth-user-pass
script-security 3
reneg-sec 0
redirect-gateway def1
up /etc/openvpn/maemo-update-resolvconf
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-down-root.so "script_type=down /etc/openvpn/maemo-update-resolvconf"
ca ivacy-ca.crt
cert ivacy-client.crt
key ivacy-client.key
tls-auth ivacy-tls.key 1

Re: VPN suggestions
 

when importing the config file it says "Files not found: /etc/openvpn/maemo-update-resolvconf" . Am I missing that file? Do I just need to get that file and upload it?

It 's not working. here is the test log:

Re: VPN suggestions
 

HI all!
I think it's necessary to post wiki page about openvpn setup.
I have the same problems with openvpn setup.
My question Is it necessary to use option "auth-user-pass" with openvpn desktop applet?

Re: VPN suggestions
 

Forget my previous post. Option "askpass" works well for me.
