noel Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Any advice on how to manually stop/start/restart the openvpn client? When I was running unraid 5.0.5 and an older version of the plugin this would work (as per instructions) To start: /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn start Stopping: /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn stop however there is nothing relating to openvpn in my /etc/rc.d/ folder. I'm using unraid 6.0.1 and openvpn client 2015.09.01 Thanks Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 It's like this on 6.1 To start: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpnclient/scripts/rc.openvpnclient start Stopping: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpnclient/scripts/rc.openvpnclient stop Quote Link to comment

JonathanM Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 i want to be able to connect to my unraid from my phone outside the network, is the server plugin the only thing i need or do i have to install both the server and client? Server on unraid, phone os specific openvpn client, port forward specific openvpn port on router to unraid. Quote Link to comment
Thornwood Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I am getting this error and the Client folder gets a empty client Data Base Updated cp: cannot stat 'boot/myVPNserver/easy-rsa/easyrsa3/pki/issued/DragonTower_PB3.crt': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'boot/myVPNserver/easy-rsa/easyrsa3/ta.key': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'boot/myVPNserver/easy-rsa/easyrsa3/pki/ca.crt': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat 'boot/myVPNserver/easy-rsa/easyrsa3/pki/private/DragonTower_PB3.key': No such file or directory /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpnserver/scripts/rc.openvpnserver: line 386: boot/myVPNserver/clients/DragonTower_PB3/DragonTower_PB3.ovpn: No such file or directory /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpnserver/scripts/rc.openvpnserver: line 412: cd: boot/myVPNserver/clients/DragonTower_PB3: No such file or directory creating a zip file ..... boot/myVPNserver/clients/DragonTower_PB3/DragonTower_PB3.zip zip warning: name not matched: DragonTower_PB3.ovpn zip warning: name not matched: DragonTower_PB3.crt zip warning: name not matched: DragonTower_PB3.key zip warning: name not matched: ca.crt zip I/O error: No such file or directory zip error: Could not create output file (boot/myVPNserver/clients/DragonTower_PB3/DragonTower_PB3.zip) Client files have been stored in this folder .. this is on my boot drive i don't like using the cache drive.. But i don't think it is in read only mode because i have re installed the plugin several times. I am on version 6.1.1 Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Looks like you are missing the leading / What did you typed in in the settings? Testing on 6.1.0 and all OK Will do a test om 6.1.1 later this week //Peter Quote Link to comment
Thornwood Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 I rebooted reinstalled and reconfigured. Look like if I do things systimacily and slowly it works but can't rush a single step... Refresh browser.. Now it seems to work Quote Link to comment
inky Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 So i'm having a similar problem. Currently if i connect to the openVPN server on my unraid I can see everything hosted on it and access all other ip's on my network no problem. Last night in unraid i enabled bridge so my vm's could be bridge onto my normal network and get an ip from my router. However this broke OpenVPN. Now if i connect i only see the unraid ip and services it runs. I can't connect to anything else on my network. I get the same result if i try to bond two of my NIC's together. I'm running Unraid 6.1.2 Anyone else experiencing this? Quote Link to comment
Viaduct Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm having trouble installing the easyrsa package. Has the download changed since the official release a fortnight ago? Seems to fail to download the package for me. Update: sorry my bad. Was trying to use v6.1 plugin on v6.0. Now all fine. Quote Link to comment
Billy_McSkintos Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm having trouble installing the plugin on 6.1.3: bad file MD5 plugin: installing: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petersm1/openvpn_client_x64/master/openvpn_client_x64.plg plugin: downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petersm1/openvpn_client_x64/master/openvpn_client_x64.plg plugin: downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/petersm1/openvpn_client_x64/master/openvpn_client_x64.plg ... done plugin: downloading: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/os/Linux/distributions/slackware//slackware64-current/slackware64/n/openvpn-2.3.6-x86_64-1.txz ... done plugin: bad file MD5: /boot/packages/openvpn-2.3.6-x86_64-1.txz Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 I will change download location later in my plugin, see below, you can DL these files manually to your extra folder. http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64/n/openvpn-2.3.6-x86_64-1.txz http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64/tcl/expect-5.44.1.15-x86_64-2.txz http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-current/slackware64/tcl/tcl-8.6.4-x86_64-1.txz Quote Link to comment
chem Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Forgive me for being thick, but where is or where do i create the extra folder? I've downloaded the 3 additional files and tried placing them inside the plugins folder along with the original .plg file (as well as putting them into an extra folder inside it). I bet ya im doing something really stupid! Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 The plugin is updated . Still issue, Quote Link to comment
JWMutant Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Is anyone else getting a plugin: bad file MD5: /boot/packages/openvpn-2.3.6-x86_64-1.txz when trying to install the client? Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 It works now, plugin updated. //Peter Quote Link to comment
bmdegraaf Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Peter, many thanks for this excellent plugin!! I have been using the server a lot. However, when rebooting the server it does not start automatically. Although I have checked the box within the application. When starting the openvpn server manually, it starts. The appdata is not residing on the cachedrive, but on a SSD mounted by unassigned devices, where all my docker apps are residing as well. Could this be causing the issue? Does the appdata need to reside on the cache drive? Or could i build in a delay for the plugin to start to ensure the SSD is mounted? I have a feeling this is the underlying problem.

peter_sm Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 That might be the issue using unassigned devices , for me using cache all is fine during boot, vpnserver is always up :-) //Peter Quote Link to comment
bmdegraaf Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Moved the data to cache only and everything is working as expected. I guess plugins work better with data residing on cache. Quote Link to comment
Viaduct Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I have same problem. I don't have a cache drive. Thus options are boot flash drive or array. Which is suggested? Will the plugin keep the array disc spinning or is it a one time settings load? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JWMutant Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 If anyone here has any experience setting up openvpn client with the VPN company "Private Internet Access" would love your help. I have the .ovpn which I downloaded from there site. Not to sure where to put the file however. I assume I dont need to have openvpn server running. Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Put these on your flash on a folder named openvpn, see instructions Quote Link to comment
JWMutant Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Put these on your flash on a folder named openvpn, see instructions Sorry for sounding like I have no idea what im doing. I have a folder in config/plugins/openvpn I have placed the .ovpn file in there, lets just call it japan.ovpn. It would seem that no matter where I place that ovpn file be it in the folder I created "openvpn" or the folder that is created when openvpn installs called "openvpnclient" when I go to the gui and go to settings there is a dropdown box for client config file where I would assume you choose the ovpn file. There in is the problem, no matter what or where I place that ovpn file the drop down box simply says "Chose a file". Alt+F5 doesnt give me anything in that dropdown box, rebooting doesnt give me anything in that dropdown box as well. Quote Link to comment
peter_sm Posted October 13, 2015 Author Share Posted October 13, 2015 Please read the instructions, it says /boot/openvpn Quote Link to comment
tr0910 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Presently I have my VPN set up in my Router. With Google Fiber coming, I will have to give up my DD-WRT router unless I want to hack my own bypass to Google fiber network box. I prefer to run with supported, known working stuff, so am not eager to hack the Google Fiber Network Box. However, I need to create a secure VPN entry to my entire lan which the GFNB is not able to do. Will OpenVPN on unRaid do that? Is the plugin more or less suited to this than the Docker? My main use case is to access my entire network remotely, not just my unRaid box. (I am not wanting to hide my internet downloading.) Quote Link to comment
