Iīve a little problem with my N900 and OpenVPN. If i try to establish a VPN connection i get the error "socket.connetc() faild". If i try to establish the connection manually via console with my config, can i see the whole error (same as i see in my syslog file):
options error: unrecognized options or missing parameter(s) in /etc/openvpn/Home.ovpn:1: client
if i change the order for example "client" with "dev tap" i get the same error just with "dev" instead of client (Home.ovpn:1: dev) and so on.

Home.ovpn:
Code:
client
dev tap
;dev tun
;dev-node MyTap
;proto tcp
proto udp
remote <my ip> 1194
;remote-random
;resolv-retry infinite
nobind
;user nobody
;group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun
;http-proxy-retry # retry on connection failures
;http-proxy [proxy server] [proxy port #]
;mute-replay-warnings
pkcs12 N900.p12
ns-cert-type server
;tls-auth ta.key 1
;cipher x
comp-lzo
verb 3
redirect-gateway
;mute 20

check that your config file is not DOS format.

cat -ve /etc/openvpn/Home.ovpn

How do you edit the config file? Maybe there is something wrong with the line end (CR + LF instead of CR).

What happens, if you add lines on top of the file with a local editor like vi?

In vim everything is still looking fine.

With PR 1.2 there was no problem with the same config, iīve this problem since PR 1.3. I get also the same error if the first line is a comment or a single "#" he says to anything error .

debugging isnīt possible because of this error he doesnīt start the initialisation of VPN.

Can you enter the openvpn command manually in a console with all your configuration as argument:
openvpn --client --dev tap ...
Maybe we can find out more from the resulting messages.

You have to be root for that.

OK, so we know now for sure, the problem has to be the config file itself or the GUI.

Please try this as root:

openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/Home.conf

If this is working, there is something wrong with the GUI.
If this fails, then I have to start guessing. Things you could try:
- get hexdump to the phone or the config file to the PC and look into the file with a hexeditor
- create a complete new file with vi on the phone
- chmod 644 /etc/openvpn/Home.conf
- chown root:root /etc/openvpn/Home.conf
- renaming Home.conf to something like home.conf
