Hi Guys,

 

Could you please suggest me solution of how to establish connection between my remote machine and router.

 

I added keys to /etc/openvpn/  dirrectory

 

#openvpn --configure client2.conf

I tested on two different OS .. centos and ubuntu. on both i got same error.

        What do you mean you cannot forward VPN in your office?

        Can you provide a network diagram?

        If you're unable to ping, check for any firewalls.
