openvpn plugin would be awesome.

peter_sm, you have to create a bridge before create the vpn tunnel to route your traffic.

 

#!/bin/bash
br="br0"
tap="tap0"
eth="eth0"
eth_ip="192.168.137.254"
eth_gw="192.168.137.1"
eth_netmask="255.255.255.0"
eth_broadcast="192.168.255.255"

for tap in $tap; do
   openvpn --mktun --dev $tap
done

brctl addbr $br
brctl addif $br $eth

for tap in $tap; do
   brctl addif $br $tap
done

for tap in $tap; do
   ifconfig $tap 0.0.0.0 promisc up
done

ifconfig $eth 0.0.0.0 promisc up

ifconfig $br $eth_ip netmask $eth_netmask broadcast $eth_broadcast
route add default gw $eth_gw dev $br

 

 

But if you want to route all your traffic trough the VPN you just have to modify the gateway:

 

route add default gw 46.246.88.128 dev tap0

I am very interested to see this as a plugin.

Nice work! Now we just need an openvpn server........ hint hint?

 

:-)

Awesome,

 

So how do we install it ?

 

Yeah, figure if you got the client running...  Perhaps you could use that experience to build a VPN server plugin as well 

Alright! I have been looking for something like this!  Could you please clean up the How To Instructions?  I would love to give this a try!

Thanks for making this!

 

 

Pretty much   Need the ability to have at least a pptp connection with user/pass auth! Depends on how easy L2TP is to setup.

hi peter! thanks for creating this plugin. i would like to install it but i haven't installed any packages manually on unraid before, so i have a couple of noob/basic questions before i dive in, hope that's ok.

 

1) what location should i install the OpenVPN client to? /boot/openvpn? or is there a better location like /boot/extra?

2) do i copy the .txz to /boot/openvpn, login with telnet, and run "installpkg /boot/openvpn/openvpn-2.1.1-i486-1-autologin.txz", is this the correct command? is this enough to complete the manual install?

 

i appreciate your guidance, sorry for the basic questions.

Hey Peter,

 

Letting you know that Tom included the necessary modules for PPTP VPN server in the latest 5.0 RC. I ended up using DD-WRT for mine, but it could be a great plugin to peruse?

 

 

Hi Peter,

 

Both the .txz and the plugin installed just fine with no apparent errors during installation. But when i tested the plugin it prints the "Starting openvpn!!" message then stops.

 

So I tried to start OpenVPN via the command line with ./run_openvpn.sh and I get the following error message:

 

root@Tower:/boot/openvpn# ./run_openvpn.sh

openvpn: error while loading shared libraries: liblzo2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

I even rebooted just to be sure everything installed ok, and I get the same error.

 

Any idea on how to fix this? I'm guessing it's related to the openvpn install and not your plugin.

 

I did some googling before posting but I am probably in over my head a bit

 

/johan

Hi Peter,

 

Thanks, this file worked

 

I replaced the bundled file with the one from your post and installed it manually using with "installpkg /boot/extra/lzo-2.03-i486-1.txz" and now OpenVPN starts up from the command line using the "./run_openvpn.sh" script. success!

 

During startup, OpenVPN exits after Peer Connection Initiated, with the following output:

 

Wed May 23 10:22:34 2012 Note: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2)

Wed May 23 10:22:34 2012 Note: Attempting fallback to kernel 2.2 TUN/TAP interface

Wed May 23 10:22:34 2012 Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically

Wed May 23 10:22:34 2012 Exiting

 

Have you had the same issue?

 

Should I try this potential fix?

http://tobylockyer.com/blog/open-vpn-error-cannot-open-tuntap/

 

UPDATE: I can confirm that this fixed the issue for me.

 

Some Linux distros will not create the tap device for you... You need to issue the following commands:

 

mkdir /dev/net

mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

 

 

 

/johan

Hi Peter,

 

Almost there ... the only issue left for me is the start button.

 

* Start button - not working for me yet ("Starting openvpn!!" text shows up in the left hand corner but the vpn doesn't start and IP doesn't change, but the start script works fine from the command line)

 

* Stop button - works for me (after starting the vpn from commandline with the "./start-vpn.sh start", I can stop it using the plugin Stop button, the page also displays the green "OpenVPN is running" text & IP information changes correctly after pressing Stop.)

 

* Check IP button  - works for me (only after downloading a new copy of  the curl package and re-installing manually)

 

Any advice/ideas on how to fix the start button would be appreciated.

 

Super excited to have this running, thank you!

Plugin updates version 2.0.8 are available on first post.

 

//Peter

Plugin updates version 2.0.9 are available on first post.

 

Using now OpenVPN version 2.2.2 and also added iproute2 packages

 

//Peter

Hi, I've been trying to get your plugin working but seem to be having a few issues, I'll apologise in advanced i'm new here and my Linux skills are.. limited.

 

So a bit of background I'm using a clean install of unRAID 5.0-rc5-r8168, in addition i have unMenu and Simple Features installed, 3Tb as Parity, 2x3Tb as Disk 1 and 2, and a 120Gb SSD as Cache, other drives will be migrated over from my Windows Server as I empty them but I digress.

 

I've gone through the installation of the package file openvpn_client_ver_2.0.9.zip as described in the first post and copied over my .ovpn  .crt files and every thing seems to have worked. However OpenVPN will not start, and the following message is presented

 

Warning: file(/tmp/openvpn/openvpn.out): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpn/openvpn.php on line 11 Warning: implode(): Argument must be an array in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpn/openvpn.php on line 12

 

at the same time if i look at the Monitor connected to the unRAID box I see this

 

run_cmd: /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn enable "My Password" "My Username"

curl: /usr/lib/libidn.so.11: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)

mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/openvpn': File exists

 

now as I said I'm new to linux so the only thing of that I even half understand is the cannot create directoy as a test I deleted the /tmp/openvpn directory

 

which made no difference

 

Doh! ignore everything, I did a plugin install again, this time I saved it with the enabled option set to no, then set to yes, it now works. I am still getting the messages on the unRAID screen showing

 

curl: /usr/lib/libidn.so.11: no version information available (required by /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4)

mkdir: cannot create directory '/tmp/openvpn': File exists

 

is this anything I should be worrying about?

These messages you can ignore, is OpenVPN up and running ?

 

Hello again, yes it is up and running, however I've just tried a restart on unRAID, using the power off script and OpenVPN did not start on boot, although I got a message on the Screen attached to unRAID

 

as usual for the most part

 

Welcome to Linux 3.0.35-unRAID (tty1)

 

HomeServer login:

 

then a few seconds later it changes to

 

Welcome to Linux 3.0.35-unRAID (tty1)

 

HomeServer login: No openvpn process is running.

 

I had to go back to the Settings/openvpn change enabled to no, click apply then back to yes and apply for it to work again

 

btw amazed by the quick response

 

Cheers

Next version will have a packages included to remove the messages above
