Hi guys, thanks for clicking into this post and I could really use some help here 'cause I don’t know what’s going on here… So a little bit of back story.
I have a Synology DS1821 connect to my ASUS router at location A, on the ASUS router I have the OpenVPN server open and is working perfectly fine, my iPhone and my laptop can all connect to my router from outside.
A while ago I wished to have anther copy of my file at another location, B, on a totally differnt network and IP. So I bought a Synology DS920+ as a backup solution, uploaded the OVPN into DSM and it just worked. Recently I sold that DS920+ and built another TrueNAS system as an upgrade but I somehow can’t get the VPN connection to work, both CORE and SCALE.
Frist I follow the official guide like everyone else:
Configuring a 3rd Party VPN service on TrueNAS
Then, at the OpenVPN client setup page this would just popup:
So I started to see if there are people like me on reddit, then I landed on this post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/truenas/comments/w32rk7/truenas_scale_openvpn_form_opnsense_root_ca_must/
Which also took me to this page:
But the solution mentions creating a OpenVPN config under mnt, which I have totally no idea how.
Also, below is the redected version of my OVPN file:
remote <MY IP> <MY PORT>
float
nobind
proto tcp-client
dev tun
sndbuf 0
rcvbuf 0
keepalive 10 30
# for OpenVPN 2.4 or older
comp-lzo yes
# for OpenVPN 2.4 or newer
;compress lzo
auth-user-pass
client
auth SHA1
cipher AES-128-CBC
remote-cert-tls server
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

#
# Update client certificate and key if necessary
#
<cert>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</cert>
<key>
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
-----END PRIVATE KEY-----
</key>
If I can’t get this to work I guess I’ll have to just get another Synology and sell this system…
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated.
