I'm kind of frustrated... ios 9 and synology openvpn

Hombresolaire

Hello,
actually I'm a little frustrated. I try to setup a connection between my ios 9 iphone and my synology nas.
The synology nas comes with a vpn server and I did everything according to the howto on this site
https://help.synology.com/dsm/?section=VPNCenter&version=1.2&link=vpn_setup.html&lang=enu#dynamic
and this
http://apfelcheck.de/tutorials/synology-einrichtung-von-openvpn/

but all I get is this

TIMEOUT: check that your firewall has port UDP:1194 correctly forwarded to your NAS.

oops missed that 😃

Do you have an OpenVPN server config file and log ?

Hombresolaire

Hi,
thank you for your reply.
Unfortunately I don't habe a server config and the log only tells me things like

server started
server stopped
PPTP VPNuser logged in 
PPTP VPNuser logged out

nothing about openvpn login attempts

I hope I don't have to fiddle with the synology vpn server app using ssh...

Hi,
I don't know why my posts disappear....

New try

Thank you for your replay.
Unfortunately I don't have a server config. I use the synology DSM 5.x VPN app to provide vpn on my nas. So I only see a config gui.
And for the log file. This doesn't give much information. Only stuff like:

PPTP VPNuser logged out
PPTP VPNuser logged in
PPTP VPN server started
PPTP VPN server stopped
openVPN VPN server started
openVPN VPN server stopped

I hope I don't have to fiddle via ssh in the synology server config....

works fine on my qnap ts-269 pro, thought the vendors qnap/synology were the same using cut down Linux and ipkg?
have you assigned a user account with the VPN? this caught me out first time, and once you do this on the qnap you have to download the connect files again.
