Is there any way to push a user-specified DNS server?

 

I have a Pi-Hole running on my LAN and I'd like my connected devices to use it's DNS IP address instead.

 

This allows me to block ads on my connected iOS devices and for local name resolution - really useful.

I figured out a workaround to set the DNS from the client side, open the ovpn file and add the following directives.

#ipv4
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS"
#ipv6
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option DNS6"

# put prefered dns name here
dhcp-option DNS 192.168.0.200

Is it possible to separate configuration form, to be able to set different port and address for the server to operate on, and different port to be input into user configs? I have my OpenVpn server running on power 1194 internally, but it is visible outside on port 443 using a dynamic dns name. With current config it is impossible to automatically generate working configs for the clients.

Hey all!

 

Is there an updated link for the client configuration guide?

 

I'm trying to get this setup so that all traffic from only 1 interface (I have two setup NOT bonded) will pass be routed through the vpn tunnel.

 

I'm now stuck on the first step of getting the plugin to connect.  I tried to go to the link on the first post for client config guide, but it doesn't take me anywhere.  Is there a new one?

 

Thanks!

Every time I restart my Unraid server, the OpenVPN is unconnectable, I have to restart it manually. These are the logs before the restart:

Any idea what this might be about?

 

Also, a request, can you make it possible to renew the CRL certificate? It expires after a year and it's not that easy to renew manually when you don't know what you're doing. I managed somehow but other people may not.

I haven't a clue what you are talking about Extensions' page? where is that? How do you get their? Theirs no such page on the client! This really suks!

If you're talking about this from the OP:

To install.

Install the plugins, go to the 'Extensions' page

 

Then that means the plugins tab.  (Or, simply go to the Apps tab instead -> even easier)

Yeah, I understand what you want, it's just a bad idea unless you know exactly what you are doing. The VPN service does not firewall the endpoint connection, so theoretically connecting to them allows other vpn users on the same network node free access to your system totally bypassing your router, since unraid doesn't have a built in firewall.

 

I personally would never risk it. Binhex's dockers go to great lengths to ensure isolation and security, to make sure VPN traffic doesn't leak out of the docker, or vice versa.

 

Network security is hard. Too many ways for things to go wrong, and not many ways to do it right.

Hmmm, on that note: if I connect to my VPN _per docker_ that means I'm multiplying my VPN overhead, depend on binhex' release schedule (not implying anything, just saying that I'm totally new to unRAID AND Docker so just throwing out there what's crossing my mind) and then there's the issue with not every application desirable being available as binhex vpn docker.

 

I've seen that you can use a docker like that as proxy for other dockers, but my line of thought is that I'm relying on the application within a docker to apply the proxy connection leaving possible (unknown) background processes un-routed through the proxy.

 

The beauty (but also a pain point in other ways) of VPNs on a classic desktop is after all a one-setup experience. Connect once, route everything or nothing.

 

Major application missing an obvious VPN path to me right now is jDownloader.

 

Theoretically I could just set up a VM, install my VPN's application in there, add the applications I want to the mix and have them all download to a share. Waaaaaaaaay less elegant, but at least a catch-all approach. The VM itself would obviously be configured with a firewall. Is that a lot of overhead? Sure is. Is that a great concern? Well.... 16 physical cores and 48GB of RAM say: we can do it. Despite all of that, I'd still favor the leanest approach for obvious reasons. Surely there's something I'm missing or something I misunderstood?

Hello,

 

My Windows 10 Pro client PC is connected via an USB cable to my smartphone that shares its Internet 4G connection. 

 

I connect to the OpenVPN server without any problem with an OpenVPN GUI client x64.

 

Ping the machines of my local network is ok.
But, all connections with my web browser fail. So I do not have access to the Unraid Web interface.

 

Of course I do not get a local IP and I do not know why !!!
My Gateway is 192.168.1.254.

 

Also, there is an error in the log of openvpn client :
- Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in [PUSH-OPTIONS]:3: remote-gateway (2.4.7)

 

Can you please help me ?

 

Bellow all my configuration:

WAN IP                         XXXX.XXXX.XXXX.XXXX
UNRAID SERVER IP               192.168.1.200
LAN GATEWAY                    192.168.1.254

Hi,
 
I changed from OpenVPN AS from Linuxservers to yours. At first, good job
Everything is working fine for me at the moment.
 
But I have one question, maybe I oversee something, but is it possible to force the client with the .ovpn file to enter a password?
 
Thank you
Let me know if you get how too

Recently I've been getting this message from Tunnelblick about the comp-lzo option being deprecated. I know I can click the checkbox so that the warning doesn't appear again but is there a better fix for this? A way to use a better supported compression option?

Is there a working client config guide anywhere? Link is to the forum home page....

Edit: https://web.archive.org/web/20160807091818/http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19439.0

 

Very old, but it does still work if you have an idea what you're looking at.

 

Short version is that the one click install works, and ovpn files go in an openvpn directory you will need to create in the root of the flash drive.

I got rid of this warning by changing "comp-lzo" to "compress lzo" in my config file as noted in the link below:

https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install/issues/430

It would be nice to see an option to select compression type and/or syntax. By that I mean being able to select whether to use 'comp-lzo' or the 'compress' command. Then also if you choose to select the 'compress' command being able to select between 'lzo', 'lz4', or 'lz4-v2'. Understanding that 'comp-lzo' is deprecated I believe 'compress lzo' should be the default syntax.

 

Having a GUI like this means putting in enough functionality so that someone doesn't need to make manual edits like this unless it's something obscure.
