I have tried following the guide below to  setup torguard with openvpn on my raspberrypi 3. However, when I go to test it my ip address remains unchanged. Also i do not have tun0 entry when i run ifconfig command. 

 

https://torguard.net/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=174

 

Anyone know a solution to this? thanks

nevermind, figured out my problem

I'm having the exact same issue, I feel I'm doing something wrong.

Any chance you could share your solution, please?

Hi, 
Thank you for responding! 

I'm having the exact same issue as the poster above. 
I've installed Raspian and followed the instructions of this tutorial: https://torguard.net/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=174

When I try to connect to the VPN, nothing happens, no confirmation from the terminal and ifconfig shows no record of tun0. 

I'm sure it's most likely something I haven't configured correctly. 

Side question: Are there any graphical interfaces like the TorGuard client that works on RaspberryPi?

Hi, 
I followed all the steps for the tutorial again.
Unfortunately, with the new instructions I simply get a "Command not found" error when running 

sudo TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf


I don't see a *.conf file for any VPN configurations in /etc/openvpn/ just a generic TorGuard.conf file.

Apologies that should have been: 

sudo openvpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

 

I corrected that -  did you download and unzip the configs successfully? whats under /etc/openvpn 

ls -la /etc/openvpn/

Thank you for updating! 

When I run:  

ls -la /etc/openvpn/

I get this result (attached screenshot) 

So I believe the configs downloaded and unzipped correctly. 


However, when I run: 
  

sudo openvpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

or any other ovpn conf I get another error (attached screenshot)

Sorry I'm not seeing any attachment, can you try to reattach those?

Ok i see the problem - please do below:

1) 

rm -rf /etc/openvpn/*.ovpn

2) 

cd /etc/openvpn/

3) 

wget https://torguard.net/downloads/OpenVPN-TCP-Linux.zip

4) 

unzip OpenVPN-TCP-Linux.zip

5)  

cp -a /OpenVPN-TCP/. /etc/openvpn/

6) 

mv TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.ovpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

7) 

sudo openvpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

So this seems to have gotten me a bit further.
I had to add 'sudo' to the commands to get them working and had to modify step 5 a bit to add to the directory for copying files over, so what I ended up with was: 

sudo rm -rf /etc/openvpn/*.ovpn
cd /etc/openvpn/
sudo wget https://torguard.net/downloads/OpenVPN-TCP-Linux.zip
sudo unzip OpenVPN-TCP-Linux.zip

sudo cp -a /etc/openvpn/OpenVPN-TCP/. /etc/openvpn/

sudo mv TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.ovpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

 

I then got an error :  

[email protected]:/etc/openvpn $ sudo openvpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf
Options error: --up script fails with '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf': Permission denied
Options error: Please correct this error.
Use --help for more information.

 

I opened the '/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf' file and it was empty. I'm not sure if there should be something in there.
I checked with 'nano user.txt' to make sure my user.txt file still had my login details and it still seems to be there. 

I still got the error, I then ran: 

sudo sed -i '/auth-user-pass/cauth-user-pass user.txt' *.ovpn

To make sure it was associated with the ovpn files but still no luck. 

 

finally, just for s**ts and giggles I ran: 

[email protected]:/etc/openvpn $ sudo openvpn TorGuard.conf
Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in TorGuard.conf:16: block-outside-dns (2.4.0)
Use --help for more information.

...which gave me the same error from the post above. 

 

 

I'm really sorry for all the trouble this is causing :(

Hello,

It looks like your still using the older configs, i would clear our the whole /etc/openvpn/ directory and redownload the new configs, set permission on the  update-resolv-conf to 777 and retest

I'm having the exact same problem; tried all the same steps and nothing.   I'm using a fresh install of Raspbian "2019-04-08-Raspbian-stretch-lite", following the tutorial exactly, and having all of the same problems.

I note that the tutorial has been updated from a few weeks ago (from the original UDP version to the first TCP download to the new TCP-Linux version).  Is it possible this tutorial is incomplete and is still being corrected and updated?

Hello,

Can you explain in details what commands I would need to run in order to do this?  I'm experiencing the same issues as HoneyBadger85.

Thanks.

For me, I used this: 
  

cd /etc/openvpn
sudo chmod 777 update-resolv_conf

Can you post the output of the command:

ls -la /etc/openvpn/

What error messages did you recieve if any?

I'm also still having issues with the connection. 
I've cleared everything out, reinstalled openvpn. 

I get as far as  

sudo openvpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

and I get this error 

Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf
Use --help for more information.


I'm feeling quite defeated. I thought this was going to be a fairly straight forward setup.

For me, I used this: 
  

cd /etc/openvpn
sudo chmod 777 update-resolv_conf

 

 

@Honeybadger85 awesome thanks so much for this! I just needed to change the underscore to a hypen in "update-resolv-conf" and was able to run the command.

Hello,

It looks like your still using the older configs, i would clear our the whole /etc/openvpn/ directory and redownload the new configs, set permission on the  update-resolv-conf to 777 and retest

 

Regards

I've done this and when I run the sudo openvpn TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf command, I now get this error:

Sun Jun  2 16:54:21 2019 WARNING: Failed running command (--up/--down): could not execute external program
Sun Jun  2 16:54:21 2019 Exiting due to fatal error

Any ideas?

Please provide the contents of your config: 

sudo cat  TorGuard.Canada.Toronto.conf

I just wanted to add to this because there were a few steps that were out of sync and manual auth required after updating all the OpenVPN files.

@Honeybadger85's suggestion was necessary for my setup as well as @mysteryburrito's correction (no underscores, only hyphens). 

# remove all previous config
sudo rm -rf /etc/openvpn/*.ovpn

# download and unzip files to openvpn folder
cd /etc/openvpn/
sudo wget https://torguard.net/downloads/OpenVPN-TCP-Linux.zip
sudo unzip OpenVPN-TCP-Linux.zip
sudo cp -a ./OpenVPN-TCP/. /etc/openvpn/

# change permissions for openvpn script
sudo chmod 777 update-resolv-conf

# add torguard vpn username/password to existing user.txt file
sudo nano ./user.txt # add vpn connection username first line, password second line

# add auth-user-pass command to all *.ovpn files
echo 'auth-user-pass user.txt' | sudo tee -a $(ls -1 *.ovpn)

# kill any openvpn process and restart with random config
sudo killall -9 openvpn && cd /etc/openvpn && sudo openvpn --daemon --cd /etc/openvpn --config `ls -1 *.ovpn | sort -R | head -1`

# check your ip and crack open a beer
curl http://checkip.dyndns.org
