Hello, I have installed the client and I am having issues while connecting. I have a working unified ovpn profile and also ovpn/cert/ca - both verified and working. But when I am trying to connect with this Unraid client, the plugin inserts 10 lines saying "dev tap5" to my ovpn profile and that breaks it, so it does not work. Has anybody encountered this problem? You can see part of the ovpn profile below.

 

##############################################
# Sample client-side OpenVPN 2.0 config file #
dev tap5
# for connecting to multi-client server.     #
dev tap5
#                                            #
# This configuration can be used by multiple #
# clients, however each client should have   #
dev tap5
# its own cert and key files.                #
#                                            #
# On Windows, you might want to rename this  #
# file so it has a .ovpn extension           #

may a simple question, what would be to change if i want LAN traffic only through VPN ?

 

whatever redirect option i choose, always complete traffic is through VPN.

 

for an tip, thanks ahead.

ok, i think i figured it now and seems ok to me, turned redirect off AND set push LAN subnet ON, now its ok i hope.

Does anybody use OpenVPN client plugin (2018.04.26) successfully on 6.6.2? When I press Start button on the OpenVPN client page, the page goes blank only with just a "OpenVPN Client" tab and Unraid menu. Cannot reach OpenVPN client settings page any more. The only way to get control of that page is rebooting Unraid.

 

Please advise.

more info on the issue

Awesome plugin and easy to use, but is it possible to push custom dns servers?

Would love to use my pihole as DNS Server for remote connected clients.

I see the option in the openvpnserver.ovpn, but will it persist, when i change it manually, or would i have to change that over and over again? 

 

Thanks if someone knows something

Hi , it will persist, but if you do an update of settings from plugin it will over write this.

Hi guys, new to Unraid, trying to get the OpenVPN Client to work with a .ovpn file. On the settings its has a option for file but when I click on it its blank and have no options to add one, I tried adding one via FTP into the plugins directory for openvpn client but still no luck.

 

Any pointers appreciated, I did have a read through the first post and its seems the stuff in red is for the server, I just want to run the client with the ovpn profile.

 

Many thanks

There are info on page one about Client to create a folder for the config files.

Now that you mention it, not really sure how I missed it!! Working great. Many thanks and apologies for the moment of blindness.

I've installed the OpenVPN client and connected to the VPN on my seedbox. How do I now access the seedbox folders from the Unraid server?

So I'm having a situation:

stty: 'standard input': Inappropriate ioctl for device

I'm using easy-rsa v3.0.6

Funny thing is I can connect to the server with my iPhone and changing the DNS works, but I can't ping any of my LAN IPs when on a data connection. If I connect to a separate remote Wifi network, everything works as planned.

Hi everyone,

 

is there a way to force it to re-connect if the VPN drops?

 

Cheers

Hi!

 

The openvpn client thread is inexistant.

 

The link doesn't works anymore

Hi all,

 

I just installed server plugin, and love the ease of use. I am not having any issues connecting to my VPN server, however, I did want to ask if there was a way to create a single-line OVPN file, and have it prompt you for a username and password. I am not sure if there is something that I am overlooking, but did not see it when messing with the settings. Thank you in advance for your assistant, and I really appreciate the plugin.

You can get one inline file, but without password.

peter_sm,

 

Thank you for the response. Is there any update in the works that will enable an inline file to prompt for username and password when connecting? Or do you know of a way to force that within the plugin?

 

Thanks again!

After some additional testing, I noticed the script that gets executed is the following:

 

spawn ./easyrsa <USER> nopass

 

I was able to go into the cmd prompt, create my own user using the command above without "nopass", and set a password. The issue with doing it this way, is that you have to create your own .ovpn file, and place that in the clients directory on the root directory for the plugin. Not a huge deal, but was wondering how easy it would be to modify the plugin, to remove the "nopass" option when creating a user.

 

If needed, I can provide more information on how the process worked, and what I did to manually create my password protected user profile.

 

Thanks!

Can you add the lport parameter to the interface?

How do you set up the vpn client? The head post here links to:

However that's a dead link.
Also, the Client configuration file section is just a drop down box with nothing to select.

My goal with this is to set up a reverse vpn for dockers to use.

Make a folder called openvpn in the root of your flash drive.

 

Toss your .ovpn file in there.  Reload the settings page and you'll be able to select it and go from there.

Thank you, that worked.

Would you be able to tell me what the "Extended Routing:" is for? Will I be able to have dockers/vms use the vpn, but still be able to access their web interfaces?

No idea.  Don't use the plugin

yes. you can test it: just get the firefox from the CA. Then go to a page which lists your IP: whatismyipaddress.com

 

so all traffic will go through this VPN. locally you can still access everything.

can I somehow read those files from my appdata/ssd somehow?

it's a hidden share called flash. So goto: `\\<unraidip>\flash`

I know how to find the flash drive  I want to minimize the read access to this one. that's why I want to move those .ovpn files to my SSD.
