I currently use the openvpn plugin as a server to connect remotely, but can I also use it as a client?
Thanks

Yes. Just place the client config file at /etc/openvpn folder.
Thanks for the reply, I must say that I've done as advised, but when I start the client after I can no longer connect remotely. I must say that I have a static IP, perhaps it would be better to use No-IP?

Kinda of obvious is the client is forced as default gateway. Access comes from one point and the response is forced to be forwarded through the vpn gateway. The answer is in the openvpn documentation/wiki, unfortunately i can't find the specific topic that deals with this issue, but is covered.
This is the wiki item that covers this common problem
Many thanks, I was just looking for this
Hello,
I want to connect two OMV-Servers via OpenVPN.
Is this possible from the GUI?
Regards,
Hendrik

My apologies for bringing back this thread from the dead, but I am facing a similar scenario but I am not sure that I follow your idea. First, when you refer to "configuration file" do you mean the certificate file that OpenVPN generates for the clients to connect?
My situation is like this: I would like to connect two OMV servers in different locations. My main server (OMV1) is at my home, the second server (OMV2) is a backup server at my parents place (for off-site back ups).
The OMV1 has already a functional OpenVPN server which I regularly use, so my plan is to connect the OMV2 server at my parents via VPN (as a client) to the OMV1 server at my place. The thing is, I do not know how to configure the OMV2 to tunnel all its traffic thru the VPN. If I follow your advice, that means that I have to install OpenVPN also in the OMV2, copy the configuration file in the folder you mentioned and voilá?
Thanks in advance!
