Viscosity won't connect
Posted: Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:37 am
I've installed Viscosity 1.3 for windows on Windows XP (SP3) and configured it to work with my OpenVPN server, using a CA certificate, client certificate and key. This set up works fine on Linux and using the OpenVPN GUI on windows, but when I try to get Viscosity to connect it keeps saying "connecting" for ever.
The log panel in the "details" window shows only this:
Checking reachability status of connection...
Connection is reachable. Starting connection attempt.

I've waited for a long time, but it does not continue. The KB troubleshooting article mentioned looking at the "console log" but had instructions only for Mac, which obviously is not applicable here.
I've looked in the OpenVPN server log, which normally starts logging information from the first UDP package that arrives, but there was nothing for the IP I was connecting from.
Something which or may not be related is that I got the same behavior using Viscosity for Mac (no Mac AIR with Leopard) - it says "connecting" forever while TunnelBlick works fine. I haven't checked the logs when that happened and I no longer have access to that device, so I can't provide any more information about this issue from the Mac side.
