I installed the Server plugin and have no "add client" button. The client tab is empty. unraid 6.1.6

 

I am having the same issue....

 

Any help with this?

have you configured all the three steps, so they have  a green check?

That did it. I saw all the server config settings were in place, but guess I never hit "Save Server Configuration". Thanks!

Everything is up and running on the server end. I'm just trying to get an idea of how to connect with the iOS app. I've imported my files through iTunes and it shows up properly in the app, but gets stuck on "waiting for server". I think maybe there is an issue with port forwarding. I run into the issue while using the same WiFi network and over Cellular data.

Any help with connecting the iOS app to the server would be awesome

Post the iOS config file . I use it on iPad and iPhone , works great . Post also the ip of your lan.

I think I finally got it to connect. I forwarded the port in my router configuration for my unraid box and my router IP. Should I need to do both or just one or the other?

Forward port for server IP and connect  to your WAN IP

iOS OpenVPN connection is working flawlessly. I can access internal IP address from outside my network

 

I'm trying to get it set up on my Windows 10 (32-bit) tablet now. I installed OpenVPN on it and am using the GUI to try to connect to the client I set up in unRaid. It connects and the unRaid plugin shows it as a valid online user, but I cannot access internal IP addresses like I can with my iOS devices. Any tips or tricks to get it working? Do I just need the .OVPN file in the clients directory on Windows or the whole client directory exported from the unRaid plugin?

On Windows I think yo need administrator rights to start client. Do you use the client  "inline file" ?

I'm running it as Administrator. I can get it to connect successfully with an assigned IP address, but when I open a browser and try to access an internal IP address (like my unRaid tower or router) it just hangs.

Jump over to openvpn forum, they can help, and maybe there is a solution on your issue there about Windows tablet :-) please report back if you get a solution

Can you ping any lan IP ?

Hi Peter and Others,

 

Really a newbie to whole UnRaid thing. Not a very techy person either. I have installed the OpenVpn server and client. Created client file from server too. But not sure where to put that client file. Really sorry if it is a dumb question. Any help will be much appreciated.

Hi,

 

For the server plugin: You can e-mail the cert to the user so these can be installed on his device, using a iOS device? create a "inlane file" see the included README file in the zip file for more details.

You also need to forward the port you have chosen for the server in your router, there are small help on som input if if you hover the mouse over the input fields in the settings.

 

For the Client plugin: Download your configuration file from your provider for example "Private Internet Acess"= PIA. Put these files in /boot/opernvpn

I've made a config, installed easy-rsa, created client profiles and all that stuff but I can't start the server:

 

Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2)

 

Is there a setting I need to toggle or something to load the driver module?

32 or 64 bit? UnRaid version ?

 

What happens if you do command "modprobe tun" 

I'm running unRAID 6.1.6 64bit, 'modprobe tun' gave no errors. I'll try starting the openvpn server again.

 

[Edit]Still fails to start giving the same error

That are strange ! Can you run diagnostics and attach the zip file ? I think I have seen this behaviour in the past, try to search as well.

 

EDIT

Try this comamnd as well

 

mknod /dev/net/tun

Attached is the diagnostics.

 

root@Jordan-NAS:~# mknod /dev/net/tun
mknod: missing operand after ‘/dev/net/tun’
Try 'mknod --help' for more information.

jordan-nas-diagnostics-20160118-2056.zip

can you check if this exist

/dev/net

 

And try this instead

mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200

And

cat /dev/net/tun

To test whether the TUN/TAP device is available:

 

/dev/net does not exist as a file or a folder.

Do this 4 step

mkdir -p /dev/net
mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
modprobe tun

cat /dev/net/tun

 

Apart rom that I can help you, this shall be straight forward ( TUN/TAP are enabled in the kernel), and I don't know why you have issue with this.

 

//Peter

root@Jordan-NAS:~# mkdir -p /dev/net
root@Jordan-NAS:~# mknod /dev/net/tun c 10 200
root@Jordan-NAS:~# chmod 600 /dev/net/tun
root@Jordan-NAS:~# modprobe tun
root@Jordan-NAS:~# cat /dev/net/tun
cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state

With that result your tun device is ready for use. Some info here. http://wiki.vpslink.com/TUN/TAP_device_with_OpenVPN_or_Hamachi
