Ok I try fresh, from 1cho1ce
1. Next, add vpn-handler-openvpn to the ProxyVM’s Settings / Services tab by typing it into the top line and clicking the plus icon. Do not add other network services such as Network Manager.
I create new qube: qubevpn, it provides network access. Template: deb12 (with ovpn & nftables).
I create custom service in Settings GUI of qubevpn called: vpn-handler-openvpn
2.Copy the VPN config files from your service provider to the ProxyVM’s ‘/rw/config/vpn’ folder, then copy or link the desired config to ‘vpn-client.conf’:
I make /rw/config/vpn folder with sudo mkdir -p /rw/config/vpn
I sudo copy to /rw/config/vpn
3 Test connection
I test connection and get error
sudo openvpn --cd /rw/config/vpn --config vpn-client.conf --auth-user-pass userpassword.txt
2024-04-05 09:55:15 read UDPv4 [ECONNREFUSED]: Connection refused (fd=3,code=111)
I tried with sys-firewall and sys-net, same error.
If I use fedora template I get /etc missing dir.
Options error: --up script fails with ‘/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf’: No such file or directory (errno=2)
In debian I find update-resolv-conf in /etc/openvpn
Troubleshooting
From 1cho1ce
Connections should be manually tested with a command like sudo openvpn --cd /rw/config/vpn --config vpn-client.conf --auth-user-pass userpassword.txt before the script ‘install’ step. This is a good idea because it shows whether or not the basic link is working before Qubes-specific scripts become a factor.
I don’t make basic connection. Ok, if i ping I get response:
