OpenVPN ALS (Adito) Network Places Problem

Have installed OpenVPN ALS and can log on as admin. I need to add different shares. When I click on "Network Places" on the Left menu I get the following:

I assume that I am going to need Network Places to get to my shares. (My shares have different names than "Docs," "Music," etc.)
I get a similar problem when I click on Web Forwards.

OK, scratch this problem. I logged back in and it seems to have self-corrected. Thanks.

Hello,

What web browser were you using? There could be issues with some web browsers as they have evolved over time. OpenVPN ALS development ceased a few years ago, so we are stuck with it as is.

It is the only free web-based VPN client that I have found so we hope it will remain stable enough for Amahi.

Can OpenVPN ALS be adapted to be accessed by IP address? Right now it is accessed adito.hostname.youhda.com:4443. Could that be changed to 192.168.1.12/adito:4443 or something like that?

from outside your network the 192.x.x.x address will not be reachable.

that is why the dynamic DNS is used. it will map to your real IP address rather than the local 192.168.x.x private address

Recommend you change the port forward to map external 443 to internal 4443. That will eliminate the need to add the port to the URL (i.e. https://user.yourhda.com). I have mine set up that way and have had no issues.
