OpenVPN not initalising any tunnels

[archeleus]

Hi, I was trying to set up an OpenVPN session a while ago and I decided to test with UltraVPN before using my own server.

Anyway I installed openvpn from the repository and added the certificate and .conf file to /etc/openvpn and executed with super user privileges.

This is the log that it gives me

If I've been using my other VPN properly all these days then it is supposed to open a tunnel to the server and I should be able to see it listed when I do a ifconfig but I am _not_.

What am I missing/doing wrong here?

Thanks.

The answer is in your post. It plainly states that server certificate verification method has not been enabled. I do not use OpenVPN, I use vpnc; however, it appears that you need to tweak your configuration to enable the certification verification method. It's probably looking for a password/key combo by default.
