You can access it via IP address.  I do not know how to get the DNS to resolve. Im hoping there is a way

Unfortunately, I cannot.  The IP address of the existing network is 192.168.x.x.  Upon connecting via VPN, I get IP addess of 172.x.x.x (can't remember what exactly).

That's correct. You need to enter your network subnet in the gui settings for it to nat

Hello,

 

I have two problems with openvpn-as:

FIRST PROBLEM

i've also got the Error


SESSION ERROR: SESSION: Your session has expired, please reauthenticate (9007)

and I am at a loss of what exactly i have to do to fix it.

 

My setup:

(1) I've installed the openvpn-as container in bridge mode - i set up another user name (also with admin access), then login as said user and delete the standard admin user.

(2) I switch the network mode in the container to a custom proxynet (nginx setup from spaceinvader video)  so that i can reach my openvpn user and admin login from anywhere

(3) i edit the as.config file entry "boot_pam_users.0=" and put random characters in, so that my admin acc is not accesible if it was reset during switching of dhe network mode

(4) i go to my web interface login of openvpn: openvpn.***.* -> it opens to the user login page

-> i can login as my created user

(5) i go to openvpn.***.*/admin it opens to the admin login page

-> i get said error on login attempt with my created admin user

 

Now, people linked to this POST a couple of posts back.

There it says, regarding error solution:

"

1. iptables issues on host (either not installed or missing kernel modules)

2. you didn’t add cap-add NET_ADMIN

3. you’re using an unsupported networking method (host or macvlan)

"

1) i do not know what this means or what i have to check and possible fix

2) i've checked in advanced view, docker container is still created with "cap-add NET_ADMIN"

3) i do not know exactly what this means, is it possible that you cannot run openvpn on a custom setup unraid network (in my case "proxynet" and letsencrypt) - does it only run on "bridge" mode?

 

SECOND PROBLEM

Maybe related to first problem.

 

With my setup (as explained above) i can go on my mobile, go to my openvpn domain and download the access file for the mobile openvpn client.

BUT when i try to connect to my openvpn server the connection times out.

Openvpn is configured on UDP 1194 and i've forwarded this port to my unraid server (as per spaceinvaders video).

Any idea what could prevent it from getting a connection?

 

Thanks for the people reading this and in general developing this container.

 

 

 

 

I got it to work there, is a weird bug. I changed the network to the host when you first setup the docker. So you have to delete all the files on the share before you start over, after you start the server let it start compiling the files then edit the docker and change the network type back to Bridge mode. Then do all the normal setup and when you get to user management it should not error out. There is a bug with then network info. because when I did the host first it gave me a different ip of the docker and then put my Ip rang into the host. that's how I realized it changed. I hope this helped.

Try


docker exec -it openvpn-as passwd admin
 

  obviously change passwd to whatever you want the password to be.

Hi.  I'm trying to change password for admin.  I have never executed any commands such as the line above "docker exec -it openvpn-as passwd admin"

 

Where do I execute this command?

What do you mean by usb pass through the vpn?

Do you mean that you want to pass through a usb network adapter to the container?

Sorry for the delayed response.  Fairly new to unraid/Linux. I was trying to get the following set up:

Server A hosts OpenVPN, separately runs Windows VM and can connect remotely with client B. With Remote Desktop when I plug in usb/keyboard to client B I want it to appear on windows VM. Anyway to do that with OpenVPN? Or is this an Remote Desktop issue.

That has nothing to do with a VPN.

Of you connect using remote desktop to another Windows computer, you use the mouse/keyboard on the client. But this you should ask for in the VM sub forum.

It’s more about port forwarding. The program virtualhere that works when in network but not over OpenVPN, anyway to adjust settings/anyone know alternatives to get this to work.

If you are not using Unraid (and you should be!) then please do not post here, instead head to linuxserver.io to see how to get support.

Sorry to bother, but I'm running this docker and on every update it resets everything. Originally on every update it was only resetting the password to the admin account, which was annoying...  but now if I update I have to completely redo everything and since I haven't memorized my config settings it's pretty annoying. Do you have any suggestions?

Yes, I suggest you read the Github or Dockerhub documentation linked in the first post of this thread.  In the Application Setup section it tells you specifically what to do to prevent the admin account from resetting every time the container is updated. 😁

I have been struggling with a fresh installation of this... Everything seems to work fine but when i try to access the 'User Permissions' or 'Group Permissions' with my admin account i got:
 

Sorry, a session error has occurred

It is possible that your session has expired or your login credentials do not allow access to this resource. See error text below for further details:

SESSION ERROR: '__DEFAULT__': internet/defer:151,admin/auserperm:1528,admin/auserperm:1488,admin/auserperm:1009 (exceptions.KeyError)

Any ideas? Thank you all,

I installed about 5 months ago with no issues.  Due to some unrelated issues, I needed to uninstall the docker container.  When trying to reinstall, I am not able to get any connections to the server.  I used https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to see if the port was exposed, it returned as closed.  I have port forwarding set up and other ports are being forwarded correctly.  I have verified that I am pointing the application to the right port, it just seems that the application isn't reading/responding to the packets.  I suspect there could be issues due to lingering files from my prior install (I did remove the directory that is mapped to /config).  If anyone has experience with this, or any ideas, please let me know.

So this was working just fine earlier this month, then I noticed my plex transcodeing stopped working so I updated to the latest unraid version so I could use nvidia driver.  now I notice my openvpn isnt working anymore.  I tried uninstalling the reinstalling (since the docker returned to default settings anyhow... which is weird) and I still cannot connect.  all the other services seem to work just fine and I am using pfsense as my router and yes I forwarded 1194, and 9443.

This seems to be similar to my issue, see prior post.  I have recently updated plex as well, and now can no longer get openvpn to work.  At what step in the connection process do your clients get hung up on?

"A non-recoverable error occurred during a database lookup." I assume that is a blocked port like you are stating.
 

Right now I am somewhat bypassing the issue by using apache guacamole to get into my win10VM on the server, in fact this post is from that VM.

I neither can't see the port even being open. I think that the docker is not really running the openvpn server.

Shouldn't the port 1194 be listed in here?

I have a reverse proxy run through swag (perviously known as letsencrypt) for my own domain name. Currently lets-encrypt and most of the containers I access through that domain are on the reverse proxy BUT my openvpn container is not on the reverse proxy network. It is on the bridge network. Is there any way to direct all traffic to my openvpn subdomain to the normal bridge network instead of the proxy network? I know the easiest solution would be to just put my openvpn container on the reverse proxy network but I don't want it on the reverse proxy for security reasons. Maybe this is the wrong thread for this; If so, it would be great if you could direct me to the appropriate thread.

 

Thank You.
