You need to add a variable with the name INTERFACE and the key bond0 to your docker container template as described in the readme.

My OpenVPN-AS setup to use Bond0:

 

1. Config Type: Variable

2. Name: Interface (I think you can name it whatever you like)

3. Key: INTERFACE

4. Value: bond0

Hi,

 

I have done this, still nothing.  I have attached a print screen of the settings.

My setup:

 

 

Yeah, you've setup the variable wrong.

One would think so but this is the only way it works. I tried the method that was described here and it doesn't work. If in deed my setup is wrong then I would not be able to view the webgui, login to the web admin or successfully connect from any device. This will lead me to the conclusion that there is something amiss with the docker.

I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to @Greygoose

LOL . Thanks.

As per the instructions it reads that the KEY should be bond0. That's how it's read imo. It's a little confusing. But all good. I finally got it to work.

Hello guys

I'm rather new to VPN's so I might have done few mistakes with my setup. I can't connect to my VPN allthough I it should in my opinion. I've made a lot of screenshots of my config, which might be easier to find the problem...

 

Ports: https://snag.gy/AhpwlY.jpg

OpenVPN: https://snag.gy/OFKSMt.jpg https://snag.gy/boOes5.jpg https://snag.gy/dKtI3y.jpg https://snag.gy/LDb8VM.jpg https://snag.gy/Dew97Y.jpg

 

Nothing has been edited on the docker so I guess the problem lies in my settings.

Thanks for any help

Gridrunner has done a good video guide that you might want to take a look at....

Here's the guide I was referring to above.

Thanks, as I went through the tutorial he mentioned that if you have network bonding enabled it might look different than his example. This is where my problem lies:

I get this in my config:

Interface and IP Address

Listen on all interfaces

eth0: 172.17.0.6

 

My local IP of the unraid machine is 192.168.178.200, is there a way I can get it to work with bonding enabled?

Yep, scroll up a few posts, or do a search, has been extensively discussed recently and is in the readme linked on the first page on both the github and docker sites.

Thanks for your response but I couldnt find anything in the readme. I've done some research and just found to manualy set a variable INTERFACES to bond0. After that my docker wont start anymore, removing the variable allows the docker to start again...

Post your docker run command with the interface parameter added

Hi guys,

 

Sorry if i'm interupting conversations here, i'm not sure where else to post questions about OpenVPN.

 

I've been trying for ages to access my Unraid machine remotely using OpenVPN Connect from my mobile.  It seems to be working, the IP matches that of my home IP address and as such i can now access all my dockers using ip:8080, ip:8383 etc.....  BUT the one thing i cant access is the actual Unraid WebGUI!  On my home network all i need to do is type in is my unraid server name and it opens up the WebGUI, however, even though i use openvpn connect and log onto my home network, typing that in doesnt work, neither does just typing in the IP address of the server. 

 

Being honest i'm not sure i completey have everything set up correctly or not.  I followed Spaceinvader One's brilliant youtube video  as best i could but basically i have OpenVPN on my unraidwith a dynamic host name using dyndns linked to that.  I then have the DDNS section of my router filled out with the DYNDNS details (it says it connects succesfully) with a single port forwarding open for OpenVPN on my Unraid.  Other than that i download the config file from openvpn, imported to my android device and it seems to work! Just not the WebGUI.

 

Ultimately i'm trying to finish off finally getting my Unraid together with just the last two steps of being how to turn it on remotely (im guessing S3???) and once i'm done, turning it off again (via the WebGUI).

 

Any help to finish off this long long project of mine would be greatfully appreciated! (then my girlfriend can stop moaning at me!!)

Mine just worked without any fiddling, although I did it so long ago before the video guide.....

Does my setup sound correct though and should i be able to access my WebGUI as i thought?  My friend was saying he was unsure if i actually needed OpenVPN installed on Unraid or whether just connecting to my home network should be enough?

 

Thanks

Sounds correct.

You should be able to access the webui.

What?

You use this docker to connect to your home network, if you don't use this then the only other way is by using a VPN Server instance on your router/firewall....  That statement confuses me.

This could be where im going wrong... I can turn off the OpenVPN Docker and my unraid will still connect to the internet and i can still search for my files from my pc through the network!  Have i completely missed something here....

The purpose of this docker is to provide security for your local network and the unRAID server when you connect from the internet. If you are running openvpn on your router then you don't need this docker. If you aren't running any other vpn server then you are leaving your server and potentially your entire network wide open for anyone to attack. The basic UnRAID installation provides no protection. Simple password protections are easily hacked.

Thanks for your reply... The only thing im running on my router is a DDNS tracker with a host name that openvpn is using on Unraid and a single port forwarding option for openvpn on my unraid machine... My router doesnt have an openvpn option on the router, only the new routers seem to have it.  I guess i need to buy a new router!!  

 

So i'm a bit unsure of which way to proceed really.... My set up seems to work in regards of being to connect to openvpn using my phones network, giving me access to dockers via their various ports but not the actual Web GUI.  Now i'm unsure whether or not i've got the whole thing configured correctly in the first place, i want it to be as secure as possible!
