FlorinB Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Annie, have you made the changes into your VPN server and tried to load the unRaid page? Still not working? In Android you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myprog.netutils Quote Link to comment

In Android you can try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myprog.netutils YES I made the changes and no difference I spoke with Linksys and they said I was supposed to get the login page when accessing my IP from the web , so the router can be managed remotely. I keep getting confused by the functionality of unraid on the web as my prior NAS was accessed by using my IP and I could just enter my web ip and port, and away I go.. . This unraid and OpenVPN is messing with my mind.. .... I will try with the info provided by you link and let you know what happens Quote Link to comment

You should be using your unraid's IP if you want to access unraid. Quote Link to comment

I can read and write to shares etc.... What I can not do is access those things from the internet.using OpenVPN. I have a connection using OpenVPN on UDP port 1194, but I can not access anything...

JonathanM Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 When the VPN is working properly, everything is accessed EXACTLY the same way as you do locally. Same addresses, shares, etc. You don't use your external IP to access anything. Quote Link to comment

In the future try and use the threads already created for plugin/docker container support. I'll leave you in @jonathanm incapable hands. I'm 100% confident it's a configuration issue with either/or/both your router and the container though. Edited June 27, 2018 by CHBMB Quote Link to comment

You can find the specific thread easily from the GUI. Technically the issue you're having here is with a third party docker container that is nothing to do with Unraid. By posting in the general forum, it's a bit like posting on the Microsoft forums for an issue with a piece of software that you happen to run on windows, but isn't developed by Microsoft. If that makes sense..... People are fairly laid back about it, and allowances are made for new users, but if you're a repeat offender you'll be told.

CHBMB Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Might as well leave it here now. Disadvantage to this is all the information in this thread will get lost with time in the general forum, whereas if it were in the dedicated thread it's a useful resource in an easily found location for others to learn from, which is the rationale behind the support threads.

JonathanM Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 So what was changed between your first post in this thread where 192.168.1.102 brought up your router login instead of unraid and now it times out? Quote Link to comment

I talked to Linksys and they said it is supposed to so you can manage the router from a remote location using their program Then I found out my other problems were the result of my cell phone vpn software I changed the software and I made vpn connects. Still having cell phone troubles I called my sister and I now have control of her computer via team viewer. I installed OpenVPN client software , installed her .ovpn profile and connected... HOWEVER I still can not see the shares in the unraid server. I can ping the server IP from here computer and am successful, but nothing else Quote Link to comment

PROGRESS ? maybe a little OK... via a remote laptop, I can now type the unraid IP into the remote browser , and login as root, and the server comes up .just as if I were local BUT ....I still can not log in as a user, and I still can not see any shares on the unraid server .from the remote location.... unless I log in as root note: curious but on the remote laptop the connection shows up as "unidentified" even when I select "work".... part of problem ? one more thing, when I try to log in as a user that I have already set up in unraid, I get the screen to enter the usercode and password and it will not accept correct info..

Annie, are you trying to access your shares over VPN? This is not recommended due to low speed of the internet connection. I assume you do not have a 100mbps or 1gps connection to internet. When you are connected to VPN you shold always use a remote desktop connection, ssh or web gui to manage things in your network. 2 hours ago, Annie SIxgun said: OK... via a remote laptop, I can now type the unraid IP into the remote browser , and login as root, and the server comes up .just as if I were local This means that your VPN connection is working and OK. Please do not to do things which are slow over VPN like accessing the shares or even copying big files over VPN. Quote Link to comment
