The VPN connection failed because the connection attempt timed out
by lattimro from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5S48P)
First time in my life I am trying to setup a VPN and connection timeout.
- both server and client services are running on the same machine respectively openvpn-server@server and openvpn@client
- I am not using wireless, I am using wired and it is up
- I am not using UDP but TCP on the server I am not sure about client, but as my very poor knowledge the client is using UDP, when I stop client the port 46144 which anyhow was not LISTEN just disappear and has to restart the client service.
- the firewall is not blocking the port
