Chapter 5. Client and Server Startup
As illustrated in Chapter 4, The Log File, many of problems with OpenVPN arise during the server or client startup procedure. These problems can involve networking, virtual network adapters, and differing configuration options between the two endpoints. This chapter will bring to light the common sources of startup problems and identify the fixes for those.
Some network configuration will be addressed, but Chapter 7, Network and Routing, will have a comprehensive explanation of network troubleshooting and core network and routing concepts.
