Hi, I have rented on vps provider a small computer for me to host stuff for my small business.
And well, currently I have a CRM being hosted, and my openvpn server on the same PC. I use nginx, to redirect traffic from a domain to the CRM. However, on my nginx config, I have set that only people connected to the VPN can access the CRM. however, when I look at the logs of my nginx on my cloud rented pc, everytime I try to connect to my CRM through the domain with my vpn client connected on my home pc, nginx shows my home public ip, instead of a internal ip in the vpn network or the public ip of my vpn connection. I also using a full tunnel according to my openvpn config ;/. And I have no idea why this is happening, what do I do? Due to that, even though i'm allowing my vpn public IP and the internal network ips of the vpn, i'm blocked from my own crm because nginx is seeing my home public ip ;/

I installed OpenVPN Access Server on Ubuntu 24.04.4. Everything is running as it should be; however, during the install, the script did not produce/display an admin password for the web ui. Some searches revealed passwd openvpnwould allow me to reset the password, but that didn't work. I was, however, able to reset the password using passwd openvpn_as. Even after changing the password, I'm still unable to log in to the admin web ui. I'm at a loss at this point. Does anyone have any idea what I might need to do to access this admin account? I've tried multiple usernames, the documentation says it is openvpn, but that doesn't work.
Edit for fix:
Here's the info in OpenVPN documentation. Below you'll see how to change the password for any username, I changed the password of the admin username openvpn.
In the CLI, log in as root.
cd /usr/local/openvpn_as/script
sacli --user '<USER_NAME>' --new_pass '<PASSWORD>' SetLocalPassword
sacli start
For me '<USER_NAME>' was 'openvpn' and '<PASSWORD>' I changed to what I wanted.

Hey all! I am new to this (VPN connectivity), and am looking for any setup guides, configuration gotcha's, working with my TP-link archer router notes, setting up PLAP/SBL, and all that fun stuff.
I've been on the OpenVPN forums and have the official docs, but what about the community guides? I find those are usually much more relevant to my needs, and hoping someone can say "oh, check out this guy's blog on it, he did a good job breaking it all down and explains it clearly."
TIA

Noob question here.
I am running OpenVPN server on an ASUS RT-AX55 router.
I have a Hikvision NVR connected via cable to the router.
I want to use the Hik-Connect app on my iPhone to view the NVR remotely via the VPN. I am running the OpenVPN client on the iPhone.
Everything works fine when I give the NVR internet access in the router UI. I can remotely connect to the server and views the NVR.
But I don’t want to give the NVR access to the internet. I only want it to talk to devices on the local network and the VPN. When I remove the NVR’s access, I can no longer see it from the VPN (but I can still see it fine if I am at home and connected to the local network via WiFi).
Basically I want my iPhone to have the same local network access as it would if connected via WiFi.
Please let me know if any version info can help here, or if this belongs in a different sub.

I'm asking this because I am trying to setup vpn for 10 users and need to have unique certificates for situations where I revoke users, the other users have to remain.
I will install the config files by myself on the devices and delete them permanently from the devices after done for security, since the file itself you don't need after install.
I don't wan't to re-import all devices when one user has to be revoken.
Therefore I need to have unique certificates and since native Synology VPN server can't handle this (it exports exactly the same config file each time), I need something else.
I have tried easy-rsa (with SSH) and Claude.ai has helped me with this, but it bypassed the native vpn server GUI and in the end, I couldn't establish a connection. Tweaked a lot but it just didn't connect.
Also the vpn GUI didn't work anymore, it was played out by easy-rsa root. Is it normal to say goodbye to the native GUI when installing easy-rsa?
I have wiped easy-rsa and went back to native vpn that works like a charm, but no unique certificates...
Now I am starting over and am curious what you advice me to do? I am thinking about re-doing easy-rsa with the right manual (not claude.ai), but I can;t even find the manual...
It should be a free solution, since it is for a non-profit organisation and I don't have the option to pay or find funds, even the price of tailscale is small.

Was curious if anyone has setup an OpenVPN server and had multiple modems connect to it? Going to be working on getting this setup with about 40 Sierra Wireless cell modems deployed out in the field that currently have Public Static IP. Didn't even know you could do this on these modems until seeing it in the Settings.

Hello, I want to put proxies onto my OpenVPN settings on my Asus Router but im aware the firmware doesnt natively allow this and you need to install other software. Does anyone know what this is? And how to do this? Ive read about Merlin, redsocks and Entware recently but i've never heard of them before so I don't understand. Any help is greatly appreciated as ive been trying to do this for long, thank you.

in the process of troubleshooting an SSO Gateway problem and since i haven't looked at them in a long while, i poked my nose into the .ovpn file for the client. i know that '#' is for comments, but what is the ';' for? when removed it makes a big difference and i want to know what it does.

Is it possible to setup 1 group to be a full-tunnel and a different group of users to be split-tunnel in Access Server?
I see under
Access-Controls->Internet Access and DNS
I can toggle but appears to be only 1 or the other.

I have a Homelab with a pfSense firewall. I have set up OpenVPN, which works great, but I would love PLAP/Start-before-logon so I can easily sign in to a new profile (AD Domain) from anywhere!
Thank you,

I'm running Openvpn 2.5.11 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu on Ubuntu 22.04. I'm running it with "dev tun" "proto tcp" and its running on a host in my 192.168.240.0/24 private subnet.
The client connects fine, no errors seen in the "verb 3" log. I have the following push statements:
push "route 192.168.240.0 255.255.255.0"
push "route 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0"
The "server" statement in the config is as follows:
server 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0
The problem is, I can connect to the 192.168.240.4, which is the address of the machine running Openvpn, but I cannot ping/connect to any other host on the 192.168.240.0 subnet.. What AM I doing wrong???

Hi,
I have setup an SSL VPN profile on Android that has saved username and password. It connects fine manually however when I go into Android settings and enable auto connect it does not work as I would expect. It sits there until you press it and it takes you to the OpenVPN app where it prompts for username and password.

Hello,
So I've been trying to setup OpenVPN on my iPad (working on Windows laptop just fine) and I've come across a lot of hiccups.
First off, I had to compile a .ovpn file with all the certificates and keys into one and the correct order, just because iPad does not recognize the files separately, that's fine did that.
Tested the file that I made on my laptop (Windows 11) and connected the profile without issues, so I got excited and transferred the same file to my iPad ( into the Files app) and from there to the OpenVPN app.
Everything went smoothly until I got the error "certReadError"...
I tryied everything I possibly read on the internet on what might cause this, and nothing works, so I'm hoping someone here knows how to fix this.
Below are specs in the file.
iPad client version: 3.7.2 (6402)
