PatriotPaul Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I have a PiVPN running at my home and it is tested and working as expected, routing all traffic through the VPN to the home network and then back out. I have tested then on my Android phone, MacBook and Pixel Slate. I feel confident it is getting the job done. I am currently out of the country and I am using my Pineapple TETRA as a gateway onto the hotel network. I have been trying to get OpenVPN on the Pineapple going but when it connects, the wireless interface I am connected to disappears/resets. The light on the front of the TETRA switches from Blue to Amber, the wireless disappears for a short while and then returns. The pineapple uptime indicates that it did not reboot so it appears that the interface(s) reset for some reason. I have tried initiating a connection to ProtonVPN as well with the same results. I used a combination of Hak5 YouTube videos and this documentation - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/vpn/openvpn/client to setup the Pineapple. Pertinent Details: Firmware: 2.6.2 OpenVPN: openvpn-openssl - 2.4.7-2 Here is a scrubbed copy of the configuration: client #dev tun proto udp remote vpn.domain.tld 1194 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun remote-cert-tls server tls-version-min 1.2 verify-x509-name vpn_33b22ab9-0e3d-405a-956c-80e657c57c54 name cipher AES-256-CBC auth SHA256 auth-nocache verb 3 <ca> -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- </ca> <cert> -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- ... -----END CERTIFICATE----- </cert> <key> -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- ... -----END PRIVATE KEY----- </key> <tls-crypt> # # 2048 bit OpenVPN static key # -----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1----- ... -----END OpenVPN Static key V1----- </tls-crypt> user nobody group nobody dev tun0 Can anyone else confirm this issue? I have done a good bit of digging but I suspect I am not phrasing my queries succinctly enough to determine if this is a known issue or bug or simply a configuration error. Any assistance or direction is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatriotPaul Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 Tested using the OpenVPN Access Server and the "automatic login" with the same results. I figure this is either an issue with the OpenVPN version, the Pineapple firmware or both. Guess I'll wait it out to see if it gets resolved.

Dekker Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Hi @Foxtrot & @PatriotPaul ,... I am having the exact same problem. Out of country - my vpn is ok but openvpn on my tetra is no longer working. I am on the latest version of the software on the pineapple and my vpn is no longer working. It was working on a previous version but I have updated recently.... Any troubleshooting or work arounds would be great.. Hate to be on hotel wifi without a vpn on my router :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravityzero Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Bump Just received a Tetra for Black Friday and it is doing the same as reported here. I have two nanos running older firmware, iptables, and an older version of openvpn-openssl. When I run openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/myconfigfile, it appears to start the connection, then basically power cycles the tetra. Something has definitely changed and I'm stuck not updating the nanos until a resolution is discovered. This is a great feature and it would be nice to get it working again. Not sure why they seem to deprecate so much. I have to adjust various code nearly every revision of openvpn and receive zero additional benefits. I've listed the versions that are currently working for the nano. openvpn-openssl - 2.3.6-5 iptables - 1.4.21-1 iptables-mod-ipopt - 1.4.21-1 iptables-mod-nat-extra - 1.4.21-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekker Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Might be time to start thinking about wiregaurd on the tetra??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florent Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Hello there, Does anyone have an update about this? Is there any workaround to make it works? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdPeench Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 Same issue here, I'm trying to follow the procedure from Hak5 ep 2018 with a Nano. As soon as I run the openvpn command with my ovpn auto-login file, the putty connection disconnects with a network error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdPeench Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I downgraded Nano fw to 2.5.4, then reinstalled openvpn and everything worked as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvubrad Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Any update on this? I'm trying the same with the pineapple markvii and getting the same result. The wireless interface resets when it tries to create the tun or tap interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
