[DONE] Let's make the OpenVPN plugin update for OMV 5 happen

Is this for an OpenVPN client or server? I'd be happy to make a donation for an OpenVPN client.

The design is actually pretty good Ryeco. The problems is it takes a good deal of time to understand OpenVPN. It is kind of complex and that fact that the plugin is not just used by the admin user.

dildano, this is in regards to an OpenVPN server. A client plugin would be really easy. It is pretty easy to setup a client without a plugin. The problem is right now plugins are being updated and bug checked for the new version of OMV and this is taking up a lot of time.

It is sloppy but I don't think it is bad. Ian probably did it fast and didn't take time to clean it up. I should say extJS 4.2 is much cleaner coding wise then the old version too.

I've been documenting my move to OMV and I found a script that quickly installs/configures openvpn on debian (an openvpn server). You can see my documentation here: http://peterjolson.com/super-e…lconfig-on-openmediavault. In that post I talk about how to run the script... things to look out for... and how to setup your client (in windows) to connect to it.

Maybe you can rip something from that to use in a plugin (I did not create the script, so please give its author some props if you do use any of it. He is a very helpful guy). It works well so far, but I would much rather use a plugin.

Really... well I saw someone special fork the plugin. hmmm....

That script is sweet. Thanks for posting !
Setting up openvpn manually is such a pain in the butt.

First of all GREAT JOB ¡Peter Olson!. Now I can migrate to 0.5.x OMV and still have my own secure cloud and secure access for all ip ports of my home . I followed the instructions into http://peterjolson.com/super-e…config-on-openmediavault/ on my Proxmox VE virtualized OMV0.5.42 and everything worked properly.

To minimize problems with controlled networks, it would be good to ask in the installation script for the type of protocol to use UDP or TCP when asking the port. (I had to edit both, client and server conf files)

To improve the classification of the client configuration files could be named as :
server_name-ca.crt
server_name-client_name.crt
server_name-client_name.key
server_name.conf

And .... for glory , security would be very increased on case of theft of equipment or loss of conection keys if client_name is also a user belongs to OpenVPN group of the server system. The client software when initiate the connection on remote would ask user and password into server OMV system. This method is used by the OpenVPN plugin OMV0.4x by the sentence "auth-user-pass" into file "server_name.conf" y la sentencia "auth-user-pass-verify via-env vpnpwauth.sh" in "server.conf" file server.

Thanks for everybody especially for Peter Olson. MANY THANKS.

My first impressions of this script are not good. Can someone that has installed it give me output of this:

iptables -L

Hate to say it but the OpenVPN Access Server is the way to go... Works great with Wheezy.

It is pretty easy. And way easier then before. Also gives your the ability to tailor the the server easily. The plugin should be designed around it and not the script.

I believe they use different packages. Can you give me link to package that was used in the script?? The Server settings are piece of cake to setup. The only thing that would be a little work is the certs. For me it is worth it to set it up this way and I'm used to dealing with the certs from the old plugin.

No, the server package??? easyrsa is for cert creation.
