Turnkey OpenVPN in a container, can't make it work.

[SergioRius]

I hope someone can give me a hand on this.
I installed the OpenVPN turnkey in a container, configuring it as server and bridged network. I can access the web manager and ssh, but whenever I start the container, the 1194 port appears closed to my requests (before opened but not responding). And nothing seems to work for having it available.

Can someone please give a hand. Or sending me to a good guide on installing openvpn in proxmox?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Sergio,
you need the kernel modules loaded on the hosts with permission to use this inside the OpenVZ Container...

Normaly it's much easier to run openvpn inside an kvm-guest (which i use for some OpenVPN-Gateways).

But bridged network is the next problem! On my old openvpn-gw I can't get this working and use an dedicated little box for that. Perhaps it's working with OpenVSwitch?!

What do you mean with the kernel modules?
Something related to this? https://openvpn.net/index.php/acces...-to-run-access-server-on-a-vps-container.html

If I don't get it to work I'll try the complete vm way. Or directly at the host. But I would prefer it isolated in a container.
