OpenVPN Connect from a Different Network
7.8k Views
I recently setup OpenVPN on a CentOS 6 machine. The setup went smooth and I can connect to it fine from a client computer when both computers are on the same network.
I wanted to know how to make the connection when the client computer is on a different network at a different location.
At the moment I am getting the following error on the client side's log
Tue Mar 31 19:20:14 2015 OpenVPN 2.3.6 x86_64-w64-mingw32 [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [PKCS11] [IPv6] built on Mar 19 2015

The iptables is stopped so I'm not sure how to make the OpenVPN server accessable from outside the local network
