Renaming globalca.crt to openvpn.crt NAS4Free

eldude_123

Hi,

I'm trying to install openvpn on my NAS4Free 9.2.0.1 - Shigawire (revision 972) embedded setup using Finch jail as per:

http://forums.nas4free.org/viewtopic.php?f=79&t=6777&p=38283#p38283

As far as I can tell I've done everything right on the install side of things and I'm now just trying to configure before running for the first time. I'm following these 2 guides for install on a full (non embedded) NAS4Free setup and trying to adapt them accordingly: http://geekfreely.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/openvpn-on-nas4free.html (mainly following this one) + http://torguard.net/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=85 (got my certificate and .openvpn files from this one - I have a TorGuard Anonymous VPN account).

I've renamed my globalca.crt to openvpn.crt and changed a .ovpn file to openvpn.conf (have tried for multiple different .ovpn files) and copied to the appropriate folder within my Finch openvpn jail. When I edit the openvpn.conf file I get:

On some of the .ovpn files the same line just says ca [inline]

Am I doing something really daft? It's totally confusing me.

Any help would be hugely appreciated, really struggling with this one!

Thanks

Followed Torguard's (I have an account with them) suggestion and renamed the ca globalca.crt to openvpn.crt by editing the line in the openvpn.conf.

Following the 2 guides I mentioned earlier. Geek friendly one - I've got to the step:
Test OpenVPN connection:
/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn onestart /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf <--- this worked and started openvpn (when done from inside the openvpn jail console).
Then added the 2 startup variables to my Nas' rc.conf via the NAS4Free webgui.

Tried to download the test legal torrent advised in the guide but it didn't start. (Although a different torrent from another site started no problem). Went to the TorGuard guide I mentioned previously and tried the command to test if it was working:
ifconfig tun0 <---- it just says that "interface tun0 does not exist".
I definitely have a dev tun in my openvpn.conf file and have put the startup variable relating tun this in rc.conf of my NAS.

2 possible reasons I thought it might not work:
1: my nas can't see the jail (which doesn't seem possible as I got them all linked together previously)
2. I'm missing something to do with the tun setting. In the qjail openvpn console i've tried a few different tun value (ie tun, tun0, tun1) and it always says that it doesn't exist.

Not sure how to enable the tun interface, I thought it would just do it automatically now that I have everything setup.

Anyone got any idea why it is not working properly?

Thanks

EDIT: Interestingly when I was going to turn the NAS off I thought I would use the command (from within the openvpn jail console):

/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn onestop /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf

and it said "openvpn not running? (check /var/run/openvpn.pid)" - don't understand why it's not running cause I just started it!

Checked this file and all it had in it was a number :3267 - completely blank otherwise

Thought I would restart openvpn again - this works, accidently tried to start it again and it said "openvpn already running? (pid=3601)" however when I immediately tried to stop openvpn it then said openvpn wasn't running again - so confused!
