Hi all , as per title I need help to choose and setup a VPN
I am totally new to this and after 3 days of reading all my ideas I are mixed ....... if at the start looked easy now I am totally confused
Most important thing is to be able to get a secure connection to my OMV from outside my network
I've been trying to use one of the tutorial found on the forum and setup the openVPN on OMV like this
GENERAL SETTINGS
Port : 1194
Protocol : UDP
Use compresion : yes ( was active by default )
PAM authentication : no
Logging level : normal usage output
VPN NETWORK
Address : 10.8.0.0
Mask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway interface : enp4s
Default Gateway : enabled
Client to client : disabled
DHCP options
DNS server : 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4,1.1.1.1
DNS search domain : nothing
WINS server : nothing
PUBLIC
Public address : name.asuscomm.com (name is my actual user)
Saved , certificate created and downloaded
I am using OpenVPN app on my android
Imported and saved the certificate with no errors
Stuck at <waiting for server>
If I go on AiCloud ( default Asus app for network acces) I can see and all my network even using WOL and get files from folders but not sure how secure is this way
Also I have an option to encrypt the connection with Let's encrypt..........
My all network is behind an Asus RT AC88-U running Merlin software
I am using DDNS on my router ( I guess everyone figure out from the public address)
OMV has a static IP on my network but my ISP IP is dynamic even it didn't change for the last couple months
For most of my browsing I am using Opera with VPN activated but on local network is deactivated and I can use this only for other things
From what I understand about how the DDNS is working if I type < name.asuscomm.com> I should get on my network or at least on my router?
If thats the case I get no result from this < that site can't be reached>
Need help to figure out which is the best way to go and how to setup this.
I am definetly doing something wrong but can't figure out where my mistakes are
