About

OpenVPN is an open-source commercial software that implements virtual private network techniques to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses a custom security protocol that utilizes SSL/TLS for key exchange.

UDP is preferred, much faster.

How do I set up certs? Where do I get them? Where do I put them?

Docker Setup

Haven't been able to get this to work. I may have a different Docker VPN option.

It's a little less complicated to set up but it has a few more steps, if that makes sense. I'm restarting HOMEPC now and when it comes back up, I should THEORETICALLY be able to connect to my VPN.

Nope. Didn't work. Fuhhhhhk.

Alright, let's come up with something else.

So currently I have the OpenMediaVault plugin working, actually managed to log in using the OpenVPN client for Windows. Only problem is, once I connect, I have no more access to the internet.

The Docker admin page does not seem to want to be accessed inside or outside the network. Port forwarding does not make a difference. The logs in the Docker container just say ./run: line 3: /usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/openvpnas: Permission denied a bunch of times. I have tried changing numerous settings and restarting the container, and nothing is different.

I think I might try looking into setting up a VPN in AmazonWebServices. There is apparently a way to do it.

I might also re-try the Docker setup when I try switching the ComcastRouter to bridge mode. Cause that would make the AsusRouter the wireless router, which means I could have more control over what passes through the gateway.
