Troubleshooting

Sometimes things don’t work as expected. The following options can be helpful in troubleshooting FreeRADIUS and OpenVPN. Commands must be run at a shell prompt either via the console or via SSH unless otherwise specified.

• Make OpenVPN more Verbose and force it to log to a non-standard location so it can be read it easier.
  • Navigate to VPN > OpenVPN and select the server
  • Change Verbosity level to 7

This will log everything from OpenVPN to the OpenVPN tab under Status > System Logs. It can be watched with the following command (while trying to connect/etc):

clog -f /var/log/openvpn.log

• FreeRADIUS may also be watched for attempted connections/authorizations (Failed or successful):

clog -f /var/log/system.log
