Hi all...
I've recently installed OpenMediaVault and all seems to be working well with it, locally at least.
I'm having some trouble with connecting OpenVPN.
I followed all the directives I could find as follows.
Server Configuration
1. Before you can login to the Admin Web UI you need to create a password for the admin user. This is done above. Done
2. Now click on the Admin Web UI button on the Settings tab, or via https://192.168.1.10:943/admin, and login by entering openvpn and your password. Done
3. Once logged in there are 3 settings we need to change. In the left column under Configuration click on Server Network Settings.
The first item you need to enter is Hostname or IP Address:. You need to put the WAN IP of your OMV here. You can obtain your WAN IP via this site http://www.whatismyip.com. If you are using a xxx.dyndns.org type address to reach you home network you can substitute that address for dynamic ips.
The second item needs to be adjusted. Under Protocol put a bullet in UDP and make the Port number: 1194.
For the last item you need to scroll to the bottom of the page and put check mark in Disable SSLv2 Support.
Now click on Save Settings. The OpenVPN Access Server should now be ready for use with OMV. Done
I have the OpenMediaVault server setup on a DHCP reservation which must be working because the server is running fine on the local network.
I port forwarded the ports in the router as described...
"You need to forward Port 1194 UDP and Port 943 TCP from your router to your OMV. Done
If you are using the firewall on your OMV you need to create rules to open Port 1194 UDP and Port 943 TCP. Not useing
Port 943 TCP must remain open even after client software installation. The VPN connection uses both ports. ???
I logged on to the openVPN server settings... after the headache of finding my Chrome browser will not play the game..
Funny thing is IE does... ??? anyhow I set it up as requested.
I downloaded the client and installed and connected.... But I can't seem to find any documentation of what to do next!
How do I connect to the shared folders on the server???
All I have is a message in the browser stating that I'm connected and for how long, but I can't seem to access the server.
Also... The connectivity test on the OpenVPN Access server fails...
Could not connect to the test server on the internet.
IP Address not foundReserve DNS result not found
Could anyone tel me where I'm going wrong with this... ???
Thanks.
