Umbuntu 10.10 and I can’t get into config. It says config not available. This is even after doing a removal and reinstall from super user account in text window.

CTC Client doesn’t work on Ubuntu 10.10. You may use free openVPN client.
To install the client: sudo apt-get install openvpn
Then download the config file (for paid account): https://accounts.comodo.com/download/trustconnect/client.conf
and certificate file: https://accounts.comodo.com/download/trustconnect/ca.crt
Copy certificate and configuration files into OpenVPN configuration directory /etc/openvpn/.
To start openVPN client: sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start
to stop: sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn stop
to check state: sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn status
or sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn for usage hint.
If you’ll get something like “Firefox can’t find the server…” after connecting,
try to add the following line into /etc/openvpn/free_client.conf:
route DNS_IP 255.255.255.255 DEF_ROUTE_IP
where DNS_IP - your DNS server’s IP (see /etc/resolv.conf)
and DEF_ROUTE_IP - IP of your default router.
Ok I installed that and it went fine until the certificate install. It asked me if I wanted to install certificate and I said yes and it installed that. I started the service. Nothing happened in Firefox?? So, what do I do now? I tried to check status but nothing happened.
root@steve-Satellite-A505:/etc/init.d# sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start
Starting virtual private network daemon(s)… root@steve-Satellite-A505:/etc/init.d# sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn status
root@steve-Satellite-A505:/etc/init.d#
Ok I installed that and it went fine until the certificate install. It asked me if I wanted to install certificate and I said yes and it installed that.
No, you should download the `[b]ca.crt[/b]` file (i.e., through context menu at right-mouse click) and put this file into /etc/openvpn/
I am using Ubuntu Lucid Lynx [10.04.2 LTS] and want to use my FREE CTC ACCOUNT. I see that most of the information you’ve provided here seems to be specifically for “Paid Account” and you’ve also mentioned that the procedure to install CTC is different for Paid Account.
Copy config file and certificate into OpenVPN configuration directory, for example into /etc/openvpn/.
To start service: sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn start
to stop: sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn stop
to check status: sudo /etc/init.d/openvpn status
Note that if you use init.d/openvpn script, you should remove all unneeded *.conf files from /etc/openvpn/ directory.
After connect, try to open a site.
If you get something like “Firefox can’t find the server…”, add the following line into /etc/openvpn/free_client.conf:
route DNS_IP 255.255.255.255 net_gateway
where DNS_IP - your DNS server’s IP (see /etc/resolv.conf)
and net_gateway - the pre-defined constant, which means in terms of openVPN-client the network default gateway.
Also it’s very useful to log the openVPN’s messages to file, for example, openvpn.log.
To do this, you may add in /etc/openvpn/client.conf the line:
log /var/log/openvpn.log
