On windows using putty or?
If it's with putty, select telnet, put in port 445 and ip address of pi. Blank screen.
In a DOS command box.

No connection errors, I paste whatever is there, I leave nothing out.
Suppose to see the raspberrypi computer over OpenVPN.
I do remember that when I used the pivpn installer this worked. Now for the sake of stunnel I had to manually config the VPN myself. Everything seems to work perfectly, only now the smb share isn't showing up like before.
Ok, I am out of ideas.
So I first did:
sudo apt-get install nginx openssl ssl-cert php5-cli php5-sqlite php5-gd php5-common php5-cgi sqlite3 php-pear php-apc curl libapr1 libtool curl libcurl4-openssl-dev php-xml-parser php5 php5-dev php5-curl php5-gd php5-fpm memcached php5-memcache varnish
And then I thought I didn't need those packages anymore so I did:
sudo apt-get purge nginx openssl ssl-cert php5-cli php5-sqlite php5-gd php5-common php5-cgi sqlite3 php-pear php-apc curl libapr1 libtool curl libcurl4-openssl-dev php-xml-parser php5 php5-dev php5-curl php5-gd php5-fpm memcached php5-memcache varnish
And now sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y won't work and I get a bunch of dependency issues. Know how to fix this mess? Lol..I'm screwed..
Trying apt-get -f install doesn't work
EDIT: If dependency issues are too hard (or troublesome) to fix, then I guess I'll have to purge the entire server and install a fresh raspbian jesse on it ! Always works..but I hope not because generating another dh4096.pem can take about 1.5 days !
You should have never run this one (and you dont need to run it ever ... mostly).
You could try re-installing the dependencies.
But changes are, the dist upgrade screwed up things that much, that it might be quicker to reinstall.
Cant you copy over the certificates?
EDIT: They are mostly hostname based so if keep same hostname, you should be able to use the same PEM's.
Oh great ! Didn't know the PEMs are only hostname based. Sure I'll just use it so my reinstall would be quick.
I did try installing what is dependent according to the terminal output, but every package seems to depend on another, it's just a mess.
Definitely reinstalling a fresh jesse.
That's interesting stuff, could you explain a little more? Cause I see this command commonly run in youtube tutorials, thought it was a common thing like apt-get update?
Okay, got everything up and running..
So I have openVPN, stunnel, samba, nextcloud, and transmission-daemon all running harmoniously on my raspberry pi.
Last thing and I'm done with this thread, how do you did about my openVPN server.conf? I followed various guides on securing and hardening the VPN. Anything else you suggest I add to it to make it more secure?

Thanks @Anudeep and @deHakkelaar for your help ! Both of you have been really helpful !
A dist-upgrade will install and uninstall packages that sometimes would not be desired.
Configuration files might get overwritten with new ones.
It just tries to upgrade no matter what:
Nice everything working for you now
