The IP addresses in me-south-1 region not connecting

Hello,

please look at solution it will be helpful for you.

Restart OpenVPN Instance: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Go to your AWS EC2 dashboard, find the OpenVPN instance in the me-south-1 region, and restart it.

Check Security Group: Ensure that the security group associated with your OpenVPN instance allows inbound traffic on UDP port 1194. You can do this by going to the EC2 dashboard, selecting "Security Groups," finding the relevant security group, and editing the inbound rules to allow traffic on UDP port 1194 from your IP address or from anywhere (0.0.0.0/0) for testing purposes.

Confirm Route Table: Check the route table associated with the subnet of your OpenVPN instance. Ensure there is a route directing internet-bound traffic (0.0.0.0/0) to an internet gateway or NAT gateway.

Review OpenVPN Logs: SSH into your OpenVPN instance or access its console through the AWS console. Check the OpenVPN server logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate connectivity issues. Look for logs in /var/log/openvpn.log.

Test Connectivity from Another Network: Try connecting to your OpenVPN instance from a different network or using a different internet connection. This helps determine if the issue is specific to your current network setup

Hi Varun,

It is having trouble connecting to your OpenVPN in the me-south-1 region. Here's a simplified approach to troubleshoot:

Double-Check:

Make sure you're using the exact IP address (157.175.125.52) assigned to your OpenVPN in me-south-1. Verify your OpenVPN client settings match the me-south-1 endpoint (server address, port, etc.).

Test the Connection:

Try pinging the IP address (e.g., ping 157.175.125.52 on your computer) to see if you can reach it at all.

Security Group Check:

In the AWS console, ensure the security group for your me-south-1 OpenVPN allows incoming connections on port 1194 UDP,443 and 943 (OpenVPN's default port) from your location (your IP address).

OpenVPN Client Logs:

If you have access to OpenVPN client logs, check them for error messages that might explain why the connection isn't working.
