Yes I see that. I have internet on the machine. it says access type no internet, but I have internet on my other connection

Mine showed the same but blocked internet access on W7 and W8 for me so had to change it to show as a private network

 

No need to change anything then if its working on yours

Ok  thanks for the help

Moved my question to the correct thread.  Sorry for confusion.

 

You would probably get a lot more support on actual openvpn use and config over at the openvpn forums, if more complicated than a standard openvpn connection

 

 

Is there a way to keep this plugin running after disabling the array? Is this a default of unRAID? If accessing unRAID over the VPN it is impossible to stop the array and reboot as will lose connection once the array is stopped.

You can edit the plugin

 

remark line 1599 to disable auto stop of the OpenVPN server.

Thanks peter

 

Is there any disadvantage to doing this? Will it cause a problem with unRAID operation or shutdown?

I got it working after installing iptables and issuing the following command:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

 

how did you install iptables?

 

did you use the custom kernel from the first post?

 

would using the custom kernel mess up the virtualbox plugin (I believe vbox has to be compiled for the specific kernel and the plugin uses the one compiled on the stock V5) ?

 

Thanks

Any idea why i cant install the Easy-RSA stuff?

 

I click the button and it refreshes the page but still has an X next to it, the other two options installed fine.

 

I read there was some issues with Sab, is it related to that? 

Thanks, Peter, for your efforts on this plugin.  It is exactly what I need to give my relatives secure access to my unRAID backup server.

 

Should I have to go through the three setup steps (that have the checkmarks and x-es against them) every time I restart unraid? Somehow the install is not "sticking," but then I haven't been able to get a client to connect yet so maybe it was never properly installed.

What other plugins do you have installed?

cleanpowerdown and a UPS plugin.  Also unmenu.  I did have transmission installed but I have since uninstalled it.

No , after all 3 is thicket, ( all settings and DL is done) you should never have to do this again, is all 3 gone after reboot ?

Yes, all 3 check marks turned into x-es when I rebooted.  I went through all 3 steps again and now I can connect a Mac client, but I haven't tried rebooting yet. 

 

I was expecting to be able to see my shared drives in the Finder when I connected, but they do not appear - is there another step?

Where are you storing all settings too? cache ?

 

 

Yes, /mnt/cache/openvpnserver_cert/clients.

Use \\10.8.0.1\ in a file explorer to access unRAID directories

 

And then enter the IP address in safari to access the unRAID interface

Now that iptables support has been integrated into unRAID (version 5.0.1, 5.0.2), has anyone be able to use it to NAT traffic through the OpenVPN server running with the stock kernel?

 

When I run the following command, I get an error after downloading and installing iptables 1.4.14:

 

root@Tower:~# modprobe ip_tables
root@Tower:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables v1.4.14: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.

Looks like the newly release 5.0.3 added full support for this iptables functionality. I was able to run this command and route client internet traffic through my server on the stock (5.0.3) kernel.

I think we shall start to work on a plugin for the iptables etc.

 

I have some thought, but I need some one else that know much more about iptables/nat to start develop a plugin

 

what do you think ?

 

//Peter

 

Looks like there has been an updated to version 3 of easy-rsa (https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa) which breaks the plg. Not sure what other changes will be necessary, but it no longer installs as is.

version 2 can be DL from here -> https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/archive/release/2.x.zip

but the filename is not matching what is in the plugin either, it's named  ->easy-rsa-release-2.x.zip

 

I will update the plugin so it's still using version 2. (during this week)

 

Then I will look into version 3, but that will be later ......

 

Thanks.

Here are a more complete bash script for iptables on a OpenVPN server on slackware

http://docs.slackware.com/howtos:network_services:openvpn

I installed, and everything seemed to go ok, but when I click on Start, it says "started", reloads, but still says "NOT running". Any ideas?
