Trying to set up OpenVPN server on a vps
- by Austin
I'm trying to set up an OpenVPN server on my VPS for myself when I'm in public places, using this tutorial, http://tipupdate.com/how-to-install-openvpn-on-ubuntu-vps/
However whenever I try to start the server, it gives me this,
root@vps:~# /etc/init.d/openvpn start
* Starting virtual private network daemon(s)... * Autostarting VPN 'server' [fail]
The log contains this
Tue Dec 11 10:53:32 2012 Diffie-Hellman initialized with 1024 bit key
Tue Dec 11 10:53:32 2012 /usr/bin/openssl-vulnkey -q -b 1024 -m <modulus omitted>

Tue Dec 11 10:53:33 2012 Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically

So obviously it's something to do with the tun, but I don't understand how to fix it.
Thanks!
