Hi, I have setup an OpenVPN client connection and imported the .ovpn file, but how do I actually use this? I’ve checked insights and nothing shows as connected. Not exactly sure what to do from here? Am I missing something really obvious?
Did you create a vpn user? Did you download the openvpn client to your device? Are you on double nat?
No I didn’t, I think you are confusing this with creating a VPN server. I’m actually trying to connect from the router to a remote openvpn server, therefore I’m a client in this case
You just created a vpn server to connect to your site. You wed to do site to site.
I don’t understand how could I have created a server?
Under “VPN Type” I have selected “CPN Client” not “VPN Server”?
Site to Site would be different again
You are the server. You are creating a server to have clients connect.
I don’t want to be the server, hence in my screenshot I’ve picked “VPN Client - OpenVPN” and not “VPN Server - OpenVPN” as I don’t want to be the server in this case. I want to be the client, connecting to a remote server.
Maybe this will help. I see what you are saying
Thanks for the find, appears like that thread also never got to the bottom of why it’s not working. Really frustrating.
