OpenVPN connection Cannot establised, error msg: TLS error: Handshake TImed out

RouterOS General
1

Hi guys,

I have a miktrok wireless AP: RBcAPGi-5acD2nD, I want to use it for works with openvpn connection to my office. my company provided me a .ovpn file. I imported it to my laptop and regular linksys router then vpn connection established successfully. however, when I imported it to above AP router, keep getting error msg “TLS error: Handshake Timed out” in log. ’

after I reviewed the.ovpn file, the TLS version is 1 but without AUTH encryption info. In Mikrotik Router, TLS version is ANY and 1.2 ONLY and 5 Auth Encryption: MD5, Null, SHA1, SHA256 and SHA512. I tried all of them but connection still cannot established.

any idea?

I already upgraded my wifi ap firmware to latest 7.11.2. the port 1194 is enable in firewall rule.

thank you

i have the same issue,
if i try the same configuration on other mikrotik, the openvpn works.

Somebody can help us?

Did you configure the openvpn_client (that’s one of the reasons it is preferred to have the config instead, as a lot of info is missing).
Why did you open the port? Assuming you want to connect the router to the office?

/export file=anynameyoulike

Just remove serial and any other private information.

In my case, i simply imported the .ovpn on the mikrotik (client) .
On one mikrotik it says “TLS handshake timed out” , on other mikrotik works good .

this happens only if i use UDP

I’m experiencing the same issue when trying to connect to a server I don’t manage.
So I cannot do any debugging on server side and only try and error in routerOS (client)

I would expect this to be firewall or routes issue but don’t know the ovpn handshake good enough to get the idea what’s missing.
As the connection goes out from the mikrotik, I’m a bit surprised that apparently the reply package gets dropped or so…
Did anyone manage to solve this meanwhile?
