I’ve read other posts “like” mine, but not exactly and I’m tired of beating my head against a wall.
I think it goes without saying, but I’m new to this so please go easy on me.
I’m running off of a VM with Kali. I’m trying to play through the Starting Point tuts.
I’ve downloaded the .ovpn files (tried both UDP and TCP) and I get a connection (all green). I start up the target machine and it shows as “online”. The problem is when I try to ping it, it says “Destination Host Unreachable”. I can ping anything else and get hits.
The only thing I see different is when I do the “sudo openvpn file.ovpn” there is text after that says:
sitnl_send: rtnl: generic error (-101): Network is unreachable
After that it goes through some more logs and then spits out “Initialization Sequence Complete”.
Any help would be very much appreciated and thanks in advance.
first start downloading machines open VPN UDP and connect to it, check that you are connected on a new terminal
once connected do not close the terminal you type openvpn lab_ABC.ovpn, minimize the yellow
sitnl_send: rtnl: generic error (-101): Network is unreachable
is ok forget about it
Now download the starting point TCP and connect to it, check that you are connected on a new terminal or the same one you checked with UDP
once connected do not close the terminal you type openvpn starting_point_ABC.ovpn, minimize the yellow
I’m using Parrot security it worked for me
try ping the (target IP) if you use parrot security sudo ping (target IP)
how to check you are connected
ifconfig you should see tun0: flage12345 for machines open VPN UDP
ifconfig again once connected to see tun1"12345 starting points vpn TCP
you are connected to both
try telnet the target machine IP
