Amahi Forums

I am running Amahi 10 on Fedora 25. I configured OpenVPN server on Amahi manually and was able to connect from a client outside my Amahi/HDA network. However, internet didn't work on the client machine when connected to OpenVPN. I could see in the OpenVPN logs on Amahi server that the connection was made from the client but there was no indication as to why internet is not working.

It felt I was so close but I don't want to spend more time trying to resolve the internet issue with my manual configuration. I am wondering if using the OpenVPN app will help. My goal is to be able to access the samba/greyhole drives from outside network via VPN.

My HDA address and addresses of devices on my HDA network are of form 192.168.1.*. The outside network I would like to access my samba shares from also has addresses of form 192.168.1.*.

Would using the OpenVPN app help my scenario above?
Or, even if I use the app, would I still need to change the IP address range on my HDA to something other than 192.168.1.*?

P.S. I tried change the HDA address to 192.168.2.10 but that didn't go well with my router configuration. So I reverted the HDA address back to 192.168.1.10.

Would using the OpenVPN app help my scenario above?

Use of the openvpn App should work.

My HDA address and addresses of devices on my HDA network are of form 192.168.1.*. The outside network I would like to access my samba shares from also has addresses of form 192.168.1.*.

I have no issues with mine and it's pretty much the same setup.

Thank you for the reply bigfoot65!

I will try the OpenVpn app tonight. Would I need to undo the manual setup I did on my Amahi server or would the app installation automatically override my OpenVpn files and configurations?

Thanks again!

Would I need to undo the manual setup I did on my Amahi server

Yes you will first need to undo anything you manually configured.
