Importing Tunnel Conf File - PIA ovpn file

Featured Replies

Hello everyone!

 

Totally new to Unraid and not exactly the most experienced in any of this. But I've been doing my best to not post anything on the forums. But this is an issue I just cannot seem to find an answer to. 

 

I'm trying to setup a VPN using the built in VPN Manager under Settings. I think I have a grasp on everything. But I cannot seem to figure out the Import Tunnel Feature.

 

I'm using PIA and generating ovpn files using their online generator. But unraid is asking for a conf file. I tried to just import the ovpn file but that didn't work. It caused a blank screen on the VPN Manager page and required me to go in and delete the Wireguard files on the flash drive. 

 

I'm assuming I need to convert the ovpn file to conf or figure out a way for PIA to to generate actual conf files? 

 

I also realize there are other methods to use containers with built in VPN configurations. But from the research I've done I think using the built in VPN Manager is what I'd like to do. 

 

This seems like such a basic fix. But I can't seem to find an answer. 

 

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you. I actually did read through a lot of this thread already. I should have clarified in my original post. I'm assuming methods in this thread are still accurate? In setting up a lot of unraid from scratch I was finding a lot of things had become easier since said setup videos/posts had been made. But if nothing has changed I will have to dive into this. I actually just switched over to PIA. It may just be easier to grab a refund and go with a supported VPN. 

 

Thank you for the quick reply though!

Have you checked on what is needed to set up PIA with WireGuard as opposed to OpenVPN?
