Openvpn not updating from 2.1.3 to 2.4.6

  • ?

    Hello,
    I have recently updated my system image from 3.3.0 to 3.8.0 which is latest version for VOXLCAM. My complete system is functional except OpenVPN. I followed instruction on this link to install openvpn 2.4.6 but without any luck. I followed all steps in installation but my "openvpn --version" stays 2.1.3.

    Main reason to update openvpn was due to TLS Authentication timeout error. On previous system image I was able to connect to openvpn server with tun interface but post system image updation I am unable to do so.

    How to update openvpn 2.4.6 properly on VOXLCAM system image 3.8.0?
    Also in the interim I removed current openvpn 2.1.3 with "opkg remove openvpn" and unable to revert back to even older version of openvpn which is 2.1.3. Please help.

specify the full pathname of the library, or use the '-LLIBDIR'

   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the 'LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the '-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag

    @Aks I will replicate your setup and try this out myself

    @Aks Update, flashed a VOXL with 3.8.0-0.7.0

    Once done, I connected my VOXL to WiFi.

    Next I ran the following:

    git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn

cd openvpn

git checkout tags/v2.4.6

autoreconf -i -v -f

./configure --disable-lzo --disable-plugin-auth-pam --prefix=/usr/local

make -j4

make install

    Everything built and installed correctly, verify install with:

    / # openvpn --version

    Maybe run make install without sudo ?

    @tom Thank you for responding back so quickly. I fixed this issue. Acutally my system was referring to old openvpn binaries at "/usr/sbin/" location, whereas openvpn 2.4.6 binaries are installed at "/usr/local/sbin". I had to update path to openvpn in my vpn-start service and things were working. I think path to install binaries should be modified in the instructions to avoid this issue.

    @Aks Ah okay, I wasn't using the systemd service so that makes sense.
