VPN over a VPN

  • Hello all,


    I am planning to install OMV on an ODROID XU4 that I have laying around and use it as a NAS, PLEX server, and some other things.


    But i have a VPN server on my router, and I also want to access my NAS over the web so do I need to setup a second VPN ? If so, does my router not risk to block the connection ? Long story short, how can I access my NAS through my router ?
    I know a bit about networks, but not a lot about VPN's.


    I hope you can help me.

  • Hi,

    But i have a VPN server on my router, and I also want to access my NAS over the web

    that is exactly what you need to access your NAS over the web.
    Or did I misunderstand something?
    Or do you have an VPN-CLIENT on your router?

  • I have a VPN server on the router, it's not a client. So I could connect to my NAS by connecting mysef to the VPN server on the router without having to setup a second VPN server on my NAS to access it ?

    Usually it works exactly this way.
    I say "usually" cause I don't know your setup.
    In my case I have an OpenVPN Server on my router and connect from outside using a "tun" interface.
    And I have firewall rules to allow the traffic between my lan and the VPN network.

  • Okay, thanks, I will do some tests on a VM to see if it works.
