I have two virtual machines with which I am trying to establish OpenVPN connection (debian1 as server, debian2 as client), but keep getting the error mentioned in the title. I need specifically tcp on port 110. The host computer's firewall is completely off. SSH is active.
Client configuration file:
dev tunremote 10.0.2.15ifconfig 172.168.107.20 172.168.107.10secret static.keycipher AES-256-CBCproto tcp-clientport 110verb 3
Server configuration file:
dev tunifconfig 172.168.107.10 172.168.107.20secret static.keycipher AES-256-CBCproto tcp4-serverport 110verb 3
