Does it cover the entire server or does it work like the OpenVPN plugin and only affect dockers? It was mentioned in the release thread for 6.8. Everyone should read the release thread before updating. And there is a guide to setting it up. Lots of ways to set it up. It can even cover your whole LAN.
April 10, 20206 yr Thanks for this plugin. I just discovered it and you made setting up an openvpn server as easy as pivpn. I do have wireguard installed and setup but I need to run my vpn server on TCP. My ISP is doing something on UDP that causes my vpn connection to run extremely slow. I found running my vpn server on tcp got me 5 times the speed. So until either I figure out the problem with my isp or wireguard allows tcp, I'll use this plugin. This plugin also frees up my rpi for other things and keeps servers consolidated to unraid. Thanks again.
April 23, 20206 yr Hi everyone, quick question: Is there a way to auto reconnect when the connection drops? Thanks

May 2, 20206 yr On 10/26/2019 at 5:01 AM, David Bott said: @peter_sm Thanks for the thought of modifying the actual openvpn server file you want to use. Before I tried that I took a closer look at the connection log, via your plug-in, and did see this line... Sat Oct 26 07:36:18 2019 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp,dhcp-option DNS 198.18.0.1,dhcp-option DNS 198.18.0.2,rcvbuf 493216,sndbuf 493216,explicit-exit-notify 5,comp-lzo no,route-gateway 172.21.92.1,topology subnet,ping 20,ping-restart 40,ifconfig 172.21.92.25 255.255.254.0,peer-id 0,cipher AES-256-GCM' ...so it seems that ping and ping-restart are part of it yet does not seem to solve the issue. BTW... I did also try adding the lines to the file to different settings, but after stopping and starting the OPENVPN client again, the same values showed up in the log. So it does not seems to be part of that file. So not sure where these settings are being set from as it dies not seem to be the server.ovpn files. I did happen to notice also that it reads... Sat Oct 26 07:36:17 2019 OpenVPN 2.4.6 x86_64-slackware-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [LZ4] [EPOLL] [MH/PKTINFO] [AEAD] built on May 7 2018 Sat Oct 26 07:36:17 2019 library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.1c 28 May 2019, LZO 2.10 ...wondering if i does not need to be updated? (It may be current for all I know.) Otherwise the plug-in does just perfect for what I wanted. Something that puts my UnRAID internet traffic through a VPN and it does that. Even updates for docker files or plugins all use the VPN. But the issue is, once you loose internet for X amount of time, it will not redo the tunnel and your entire server does not have access to the Internet. (You can still reach it from inside the network of course.) The GUI also stops working. (Side note....At least on mine, when I choose to STOP the OpenVPN service the says Stopping but then the screen becomes empty from the UnRaid Menu bar down. You need to click on SETTINGS and the OPENVPN Client option again to go back in and see if it stopped. No biggie...but just a heads up.) But the big thing is it not coming back up. Sometimes I may not notice for days and have things stacked up to come down. If you may care to look into this, I am happy to test. If not, I understand as it has not been touched in some time but is really the open option I have found that does the server as a client in one easy to setup, understand, and use plug-in. You also mentioned "keepalive what I know is a server function" ... Just don't seem to see a setting for that anywhere. Thank you again. I know this is from last year but was wondering if anyone has found a fix for this? As I am experiencing the same problems. The plugin not reconnecting and having to restart the array to get it properly work. Spectrum has been doing alot of maintance\upgrades in my area so internet has been reseting thruout the day.
May 26, 20206 yr Awesome, thanks for putting this together. I installed it and got it working immediately. I connected to the OpenVPN Server Network that my unRaid is on. I was then able to ping the IP of my unRaid server, and SSH to it! My next goal is to remote desktop into a virtual machine on my network. I am unable to do so. I am able to do it when I am locally on my network. Do I need to do something in OpenVPN to allow access to a machine other than the VPN server, or to allow specific ports to be used?
June 5, 20206 yr STOP button is not working. Had a problem with one of my disks so I stopped the array. When I started it back up could not get Openvpn to connect.Had to do a reboot to get it to connect.
June 22, 20206 yr Hi Peter, I have problem to enter remotely from internet. I open the fort on the modem. I downloads the .ovpn file. I try with the .p12 file. But still don't work, the connections refused.
July 2, 20206 yr Hello all, Apologies, I am completely stuck and fear I am asking a simple question... 1. Plugin installed 2. Cert & misc settings tab - valid appdata folder, click update list of easyRSA, select the latest version. It downloads to my PC. 3. Main OpenVPN server tab - "Easyrsa is not downloaded". Click on "install rsa key management package". 4. Screen reloads but nothing changes. It still says "Easyrsa is not downloaded". I've looked everywhere but can't find what I have done wrong. Any help greatly appreciated!

July 2, 20206 yr Thanks, yes I've got wireguard working and it's great. But I would like to have openvpn working too as a backup option as I am using Unraid in a small office with various computers, etc. . The Openvpn-as docker needs a licence for more than 2 users so is not an option...

Have not time now to update... but some changes on githup page and to fix this you can for now try to update the script --> /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpnserver/scripts/rc.openvpnserver Line 349 change f16 to f14 Line 376 change f16 to f14
July 17, 20206 yr Hello - It's been working until now when I went to shut it off and now when I restart its giving me a tun5 not connected. Any thoughts? I changed nothing. nevermind - I fixed it. Edited July 21, 20206 yr by cbr600ds2 SOLVED
July 21, 20206 yr I am running this plugin and have multiple users with it. However, I have some inconsistencies with the users. My personal one has the ability to access anything I so choose. However, other users are unable to access certain items on another subnet. Is there something that I have to do within the server config to make sure that all the subnets can be access? Or should I just switch to wireguard?
July 30, 20206 yr How do I use the 'Extended Routing' feature in OpenVPN-Client. I want to be abel to only route specific IPs through my OpenVPN-Client plugin.
August 3, 20206 yr I have Unraid version 6.8.3 and latest plugin version as on 3rd August 2020. I have added the .ovpn file in the /boot/openvpn folder. However, I am still seeing the "Choose a file" in the plugin screen and am not able to connect. I am attaching the details in the screenshot. Any solution to this?

August 3, 20206 yr 1 hour ago, trurl said: That version has Wireguard VPN built in. I read that but unfortunately I am behind CGNAT so DDNS won't work for me. I was planning to get openVPN to AWS or any other cloud provider and using that public IP to have unattended access when on vacation.
August 4, 20206 yr @peter_sm Before I install, I just wanted to make sure that this is still supported. I see discussion of potentially deprecating bc of wireguard implementation.
August 14, 20206 yr I just recently added the server plugin to a new server I brought online and have been having some trouble. I updated the cs.openvpnserver to fix the j16 to j14 on the two lines and that did the trick, but I'm having trouble generating the server certificates. I know they can take time to generate as I have successfully set up two of these servers with the OpenVPN Server plugin in the past. Here's what I'm getting now in the log... "/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/openvpnserver/scripts/rc.openvpnserver: line 769: ./easyrsa: Permission denied" I looked at the scripting in the file at 769, but I'll admit I'm not the expert here. Looking for any advice. Thank you in advance.
August 22, 20206 yr Hi, first thanks for the support in this thread or board 🙂 I configured "OpenVPN Client" with my provider pia or with nordvpn.
