Okay so I've done what you've suggested, put exactly 192.168.1.0/24 into the box and nothing seemed to change, the web gui still worked but no Dockers... Until... I tried my plex media server and it worked! Looked at the settings of that compared to the others and the difference to that docker is it has network type as host and privilege as on. Others are on network type bridge and privilege off! Tried changing the Dockers that didn't work to network type host and it works!! So my question is now, why? And should those settings actually be on host and privilege on (changing the privilege didn't do anything by the way)? As much as I'm pleased it's now working and I want it to work I don't want to sacrifice any security issues further on down the line.Can you shed any light on this? thanks so much for helping!

Yep. So i always used my unraidip:8383 (the port its been assigned in the docker settings) and its always worked. I just changed my VPN settings on my openvpn settings to what you said; Should VPN clients have access to private subnets (non-public networks on the server side)? Yes, using NAT Specify the private subnets to which all clients should be given access (as 'network/netmask_bits', one per line): Myunraidip So internally, on the network itself, the ports all still work and all the dockers and plex still loads with these new settings. But when i use Openvpn connect on my android (ie connecting externally), the Webgui is now working (Finally!!!) but all my docker ports have stopped working. I tried using my new found ability of using the WebGui to open up the dockers but it still doesnt work.... Any thoughts?

Strike!! Awesome! Thats worked! So i can now go on my WebGUI by just typing in my ip address, just like if i was at home on the network... ONLY PROBLEM... All my dockers ip addresses has just stopped working... whereas before; ip:8282 would have opened Sonarr, now nothing happens! Any ideas?! So close!

okay, i try there now. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply... The only thing im running on my router is a DDNS tracker with a host name that openvpn is using on Unraid and a single port forwarding option for openvpn on my unraid machine... My router doesnt have an openvpn option on the router, only the new routers seem to have it. I guess i need to buy a new router!! So i'm a bit unsure of which way to proceed really.... My set up seems to work in regards of being to connect to openvpn using my phones network, giving me access to dockers via their various ports but not the actual Web GUI. Now i'm unsure whether or not i've got the whole thing configured correctly in the first place, i want it to be as secure as possible!

This could be where im going wrong... I can turn off the OpenVPN Docker and my unraid will still connect to the internet and i can still search for my files from my pc through the network! Have i completely missed something here....

Does my setup sound correct though and should i be able to access my WebGUI as i thought? My friend was saying he was unsure if i actually needed OpenVPN installed on Unraid or whether just connecting to my home network should be enough? Thanks

Hi guys, Sorry if i'm interupting conversations here, i'm not sure where else to post questions about OpenVPN. I've been trying for ages to access my Unraid machine remotely using OpenVPN Connect from my mobile. It seems to be working, the IP matches that of my home IP address and as such i can now access all my dockers using ip:8080, ip:8383 etc..... BUT the one thing i cant access is the actual Unraid WebGUI! On my home network all i need to do is type in is my unraid server name and it opens up the WebGUI, however, even though i use openvpn connect and log onto my home network, typing that in doesnt work, neither does just typing in the IP address of the server. Being honest i'm not sure i completey have everything set up correctly or not. I followed Spaceinvader One's brilliant youtube video as best i could but basically i have OpenVPN on my unraidwith a dynamic host name using dyndns linked to that. I then have the DDNS section of my router filled out with the DYNDNS details (it says it connects succesfully) with a single port forwarding open for OpenVPN on my Unraid. Other than that i download the config file from openvpn, imported to my android device and it seems to work! Just not the WebGUI. Ultimately i'm trying to finish off finally getting my Unraid together with just the last two steps of being how to turn it on remotely (im guessing S3???) and once i'm done, turning it off again (via the WebGUI). Any help to finish off this long long project of mine would be greatfully appreciated! (then my girlfriend can stop moaning at me!!)
