comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) @Squid so i watched the video didnt really help me with port mappings least didnt break it down... i tried the BR0: i set it to 192.168.1.9 and my Unraid is 192.168.1.8 but still at port 1194 figured it over right when i specify a new ip address.. i also Added a port at the bottom you see.. still cant get 1200 so i could use more help not sure what version of the OpenVPN AS is it just says latest does the guy have a specific video for my style of issue needing a different port.. as he only talked about it for a few seconds really Edited March 23, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

As I've mentioned when in HOST or as an unique IP you cannot change the port numbers the app will use. Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) ya you said that but you see im not in Host mode im in BR0 mode and shows 1194 not 1200 like it should be so its not even showing the 2 1200 ports well if BRO cant give me port 1200 than what are my options?? since Bridge mode is not an option or just scrap OpenVPN-AS and find an alternative?

comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) ugh so i cant run BR0 or HOST as 1200 is what your saying so then whats my options since you guys work with this stuff every day what are my options to get this to work and changing my rest of my network isnt an option.. only adjustin the unraid part dont wanna modify VPN or PFsenseVPN i just tried just changing to Bridge Mode and then try to use my openvpn client to connect.. but that doesnt work keeps telling me my dns address cant be resolved yet it should be working fine so i dont know why i get that error if its being blocked or if bridge mode is not letting it be accessed... dont know and i have tried the other OpenVPN-AS and i have tried the OpenVPN Server and Client and it kinda connects but it hangs after connecting so you dont get a command prompt Edited March 23, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 thanks for trying to help guys.. i guess what i asking isnt going to work since you cant change specific port to route to the vpn.. and i cant easilly just change all other vpns just for 1 comp. i appreciate all help you guys gave... have a great weekend Quote Link to comment

Neither host nor custom/Macvlan networks even care about ports. Only a bridge network uses ports as has been explained several times. 48 minutes ago, comet424 said: i just tried just changing to Bridge Mode and then try to use my openvpn client to connect.. but that doesnt work keeps telling me my dns address cant be resolved yet it should be working fine Bridge mode uses ports for external communications. Although it is not necessary to do so, I setup OpenVPN-AS on two unRAID servers in my LAN. Since they are on the same LAN, I really only need to be able to connect to one in order to have access to the other, but I wanted to prove access to either via OpenVPN client was possible. Being on the same LAN, they could not use the same ports. Of course, the OpenVPN-AS container on both servers is running in bridge mode. On the second server, I assigned UDP port 1195 (what you are trying to do with 1200) to the second server and TCP port 9444 for management. Here are my router port forwarding rules associated with both servers: I have a dynamic DNS name for each server and my OpenVPN client on my laptop has two profiles allowing me to connect to either server by DDNS name and the appropriate ports. I rarely ever connect to the second server directly via OpenVPN as connecting to the first gives me access to the second which is strictly a backup server and is often not even powered on; however, I just tested it again and it works without issue on the alternate port of 1195. Somewhere in your Open-VPN-AS container, VPN client, port forwarding rules, and/or DDNS settings, you must have something misconfigured. It is possible to use a port other than 1194 as my setup proves. 1 Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @Hoopster maybe ill look at it tommorow... its just frustrating... i tried several times to set up and i followed the spaceinvaders video its exactly the same as his for setting it up minus i tried to get 1200 to work... and when i set it to bridge mode the gui is unacceassable.. page cant be found ... so if you got bridge to work what did you do to get it to work? the main purpose is so i can openvpn to remote site... transfer data using rsync.. then close the openvpn connection all in user scripts either once a day or once a week. as my interenet isnt fast enough to keep openvpn connected both sites 24/7 only have the slowest dsl package for country living people and i have on PFsense port forward to 192.168.1.8 for port 1200 so i dont have to SSH over internet as i gotta keep recreating damn known hosts which is a pain in the butt... when you do dns address name and when i setup dns name in the gui... it should connect fine or least try to connect and say cant get port yet its saying cant resolve hostname as for the container you see my settings now set to BR0 and the added port 1200 so i have 2 of them... thats only thing i did in the container... ill relook at the gui.. but if i do 192.168.1.8:943 in Host mode i can access the web gui... if i do 192.168.1.8:943 in bridge mode webgui is no longer an option anymore so i havent been able to get past this hurdle... it gets to you.. i just wanted a simple install the program set a port and user name and be done.. 3 simple steps... 1... install... 2 set port... 3 setup username and click activate.. the PeterSM OpenVPN Client and Server setup easier but it has issues it hangs when it connects so i cant get the command prompt so i can run rsync.. so i end up pressing ctrl c to just quit it.. so in your setup your using 1195 but in bridge mode correct? i just steping away from this today.. as i been fiddling with OpenVPN-AS Mace and Linuxserver and Peters Server and Client version for a month on and off for hours trying to get to work that i just had enough and i just frustrated was hoping earlier someone just show me exact steps to get what i want video of doing it or pictures.... i a visual learner not a learner by words... need to see how things are done... but ill try again 1 more time tommorow ill also post the server settings as well... but i followed the space invaders setup so dont know how i messed it up... but ill give another shot tommorow.. i just frustrated they force it that 1194 is under editable for host or br0 i not sure why they lock it out on purpose.. thanks for the response @Hoopster ill re read what you got and also post the gui i have too tommorow Quote Link to comment

But you really need to understand how these things for together. That's why everyone's been telling you to read the docker faq. If you want to access it at port 1200, you can either 1) run it in bridge, don't change any ports in the openvpn-as gui, in container settings, map host port 1200 to container port 1194 with udp selected. Map any host port you like to container port 943 with tcp for the webgui. Leave the interface as eth0, or 2) run it in host networking, in the openvpn-as gui change the udp port to 1200. Set your interface to your ubraid network interface. With either of the above, set the vpn client to use port 1200 udp and that's it. Fyi, I'm accessing my vpn server on a different port than 1194 via the first option listed above If the above doesn't make any sense to you, then read up on docker port mapping and docker host vs bridge networking. Google is your friend. Edited March 23, 2019 by aptalca Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 and yes i told them i read the Real Dock FAQ by squid had no information on changing the port there was a breif part that was written in black text so it was unreadable about nzbt but that didnt help my specific issue... it had no information about Ports that cant be changed in Host mode with work arounds had no information how to get around it had no information when a docker cant be run in bridge mode to get the port you want because Host mode blocks you had no information why is port 1194 locked in host mode that its unconfigurable because my questions are no in the FAQ and like i mentioned too i had it set up in the Gui UDP 1200 bond0 but ill post the pics i cant access the remote site internet must be down there.... but ill post the gui screen shot then you can see if it it was misconfigured i maybe asking too much and i not here to get anyone mad at me .. i just trying to get it to work and right now Bridge mode does not work but ill get you the pics tommorow if not today of the screen shot when the internet is back Quote Link to comment

You mostly just seem to be telling us lots of different things don't work, and frankly, I haven't been able to figure out what you have even tried. It all just comes out as a bunch of stuff all running together. You need to take a single attempt, explain it completely and clearly, and let us help you clear it up. I don't know if we are having a language barrier, or you just don't understand enough to express things in an intelligible way. The key to mapping ports is to leave the container port as it is already configured to be and don't even attempt to change it in any way. Instead, change the host port that maps to that container port. Whatever port you want to use on the host side will be translated by the docker engine to the port the container is expecting as long as you don't change the container port part of the mapping.

comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 yes i know this isnt a client i using it as a Server on a Remote site (Unraid).. and i use OpenVPN Client for Unraid on the 2nd unraid server Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Maybe you should look at a different solution. Many routers have OpenVPN builtin and you don't have to bother with getting a docker or anything running on Unraid. There is also the Zerotier docker which might work for you and be easier to setup.

comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @trurl ok fine ill tell it again Remote Side I watched Space Invaders Install OpenVPN-AS i followed it.. when he came to Port 1194 i changed mine cuz i do not want 1194 as the main port i want 1200 so what i did when you first install OpenVPN-AS you got to Host Port 3 that says 1194 and i changed it to 1200 and set to BOND0 then clicked save so it would install the program i then logged into the Gui and set it up exactly as spaceinvaders video like i mentioned instead of his part i set it to 1200 UDP deleted the admin user created a new admin account.. edited the as.conf and edited out admin and i set my dns address name i have in my pfsense box ran force update.. exactly like Space Invader did On my router i Port Forward 1200 UDP to the unraid box address i then logged out and downloaded the Locked Yourself client file then on my side i installed Peters OpenVPN Client and ran openvpn --config client.ovp it then gives the error i showed first cant resolve hostname which is should.. when i was trouble shooting i seen that the Docker OpenVPN-AS was still at 1194 not the 1200 i had set it up following the video and thats how i got to you guys in this form.. posting the unable to resolve hostname 1200 error and the 1194 1200 issue i been having i hope this helps? dislexia sucks but it all makes sense to me in my head Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) @trurl i use Pfsense as a OpenVPN client for my cell or to remote access my sisters network problem is i have a 400k upload speed so leaving a OpenVPN client is going to kill bandwith and what i want is Unraid User Script Oopen VPN connect Rsync data Close OpenVPn i asked in the pfsense group and i think i did unraid if unraid can talk to pfsense in a userscript start the openvpn run rsync then close the openvpn im hoping my explanation is better i sorry if it isnt ill get pictures later Edited March 23, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 (edited) i dont have a pic and i cant access her server right now but the dns address i had to enter in is correct the ip address is 192.168.1.8 i remember it saying 2 clients i had to change the 1194 TCP to 1200 UDP per the video and i cant remember anymore now ill get a screen shot as soon its back up Edited March 23, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment

The docker is stopped and restarted with the changes and displays the run command as it is restarting. It looks something like this (this is the docker run command from a change I made in the UniFi container): root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='unifi-controller' --net='host' --log-opt max-size='100m' --log-opt max-file='2' -e TZ="America/Denver" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'UDP_PORT_3478'='3478' -e 'TCP_PORT_8080'='8080' -e 'TCP_PORT_8443'='8443' -e 'TCP_PORT_8880'='8880' -e 'TCP_PORT_8843'='8843' -e 'UDP_PORT_10001'='10001' -e 'UDP_PORT_1900'='1900' -e 'PUID'='99' -e 'PGID'='100' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/unifi/':'/config':'rw,slave' 'linuxserver/unifi-controller:5.9' You are being asked to post the docker run command from OpenVPN-AS configured in bridge mode. Make any change (even it it just changing one parameter and then setting it back to what it originally was) and apply the change. Edited March 23, 2019 by Hoopster Quote Link to comment
comet424 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 ah ok the the docker command ya i posted the HOST docker command then so first 3 screen shots are in Host mode 4th pic is your docker command bridge mode Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Don't change the container port. You have set the host port as you want it to be, and that is OK, but you have changed the container port to match. You have to leave the container port alone and let it use the port the container expects it to be. That is what mapping is all about. The container port corresponds to (mapped to) a different port on the host. Just like with volume mapping. /config in the container corresponds to (mapped to) a different path on the host, /mnt/user/appdata/openvpn-as. Understanding mapping is most of what you need to understand about setting up any docker all by yourself and without relying on anybody else to tell you exactly what you need to do.

comet424 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) ok so basiclly you mean its like windows mapping network Share Files aka Port 1194 share it as Drive G: aka 1200 and you do this in Bridge and in the GUI like this? i edit the the 1200 back to 1194 in the container you call it Edited March 24, 2019 by comet424 Quote Link to comment
