    Re: Openvpn Agony

    service openvpn restart

    or a combination of

    service openvpn stop
    service openvpn start

    would be a first step. If that doesn't work do a netstat -pln |grep 1194 to see what job is actually currently using the port and take the appropriate action for it.

    ps -elf will give you a list of jobs - look for openvpn. It does work on CentOS at least, so it will probably work on Fedora as well. Works as a client on Fedora at least.
