OpenVPN Linux ip link set failed: could not execute external program

Post by jeremy »

Everything seems to setup fine with OpenVPN on a Pi 4 until this line and then it exits with a fatal error.

Code: Select all

21-13-11-992| [SYSLOG] <29>Aug 16 01:13:12 openvpn[886]: /sbin/ip link set dev tun0 up mtu 1500

Can I email it to you directly? I emailed on Friday the logs to the support email but not heard anything yet.
