[UPDATED] OpenVPN Server for LibreELEC

Any chance you could compile one for x86_64? 😉 Tried to do it long time ago with docker but never had a luck with working connection 😕

I did but never could get it working and size of those images were much bigger than 20MB

Hi nvdias, the command openvpn-add-server in ssh returns the following message:

-sh: openvpn-add-server: not found

I juste installed the addon and configured the DDNS adress. Did I miss something?

Hello,

I managed to setup the openvpn server using this method and I can connect to it also. So that works fine.

But now my question/problem. When the user connects to the network he can access and see all shares defined on the network.

How can I make it possible that he can't access my shares? I only want to give that user access to my vpn such that it is he is working from my home/country and not from his place (which is another country) but he should see nothing from my network. Do you know how this must be done?

Thank you

What you want I don't know how to do it in openvpn but I can do it in zerotier. Zerotier is a service that creates an additional network interface on a device and manages a private virtual network accessible from anywhere on the internet. If we connect a second device to our virtual private network then we can establish communication links between the two devices. The second device only sees the first device but does not see any other device or anything related to the local network of the first device. This is the default setting.

In zerotier we can also establish a bridge on any connected device to have access to its local network, in a unidirectional way (zerotier towards the ethernet / wireless interface) or absolutely bidirectional to relay EVERYTHING that happens in our local network to the zerotier network. This is done with simple iptables commands.

Maybe zerotier, because its flexibility, is the solution to your problem.

nvdias Do you also have a github page or so where docker.openvpn.server.1.0.4 is located? The current download way is a bit strange and enoying ( popup window, first opening another page).
Also in your explanation here you didn't mention that on the router the port 1194 UDP must be forwarded to the rpi. Fortunately I saw this in the readme in the addon before I gave up.
Also an explanation of "PEM pass phrase" and "Distinguished or Common Name (DN)" and especially where it is needed for would be nice.
Also it was not clear for me that the password you use for "PEM pass phrase" must be at the end entered again while it was given another name there. Somewhat confusing and I am afraid not many people succeed in using this because of the lack of this information.

Hello nvdias, the add-on is working on my Rpi4!

Is there a way to use this add-on to make pureVPN working on Libreelec?

Thank you
