OpenVPN - Installation Help !!

mad_t 20 Sep 2011 11:10

Hi
I've tried installing openVPN and never managed to get it working.
So I removed it…

Now I want to try again. My network details are listed below, if anyone can help me with this I'd be grateful.
What do I need to enter when I follow the guide ??

Local LAN : 192.168.1.x
Router : 192.168.1.1
MWBE : 192.168.1.80

Help ?

Thanks

Hi, according to your local network configuration, you have to put this in your openvpn.conf :

push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"

(I'd advise you to change your local network into something less common like 192.168.XXX.0 to avoid any conflict with possible lans you might be in when connecting to your VPN).

server 192.168.YYY.0 255.255.255.0

(same, choose something unsual for YYY). This will be your VPN route, and your MyBook will become the VPN's router at 192.168.YYY.1.

Note that you'll probably get an error when trying to connect your VPN from your MyBook's Lan (192.168.XXX.0), but anyway you'll have to forward OpenVPN's port (default: 1194) in your router to access it from the internet.

Hope this helps ;)
