Hello all, as its running late and im stuck here with a bunch of questions, i hope someone can help me find my mistake. Im new to this topic and i will try to explain the error: If setup a OpenVPN Server on my rasp. PI. Now, when i connect to it from a distance Spot, using the Windows Client, i can connect to the VPN and get an IP address. So, now comes the tricky part: 1) When opening the shared folders, i cannot do so using //PI-Home/multimedia. However, 192.168.1.107/multimedia does work. the Ip adress is the homenetwork where the pi is located. 2) i cannot open any website, as i get the error : Name not resolved. If i can provide any further configuration oder logfiles, please tell me how and i will do so. I did #net.ipv4.ip_forward=1.

Hello again,

can somebody tell me how i edit my Post ? i feel bad but as i cannot delete it i would like to edit it.

I figured out my mistake therefore i can now access the internet and everthing is running fine.

Nevertheless, i still cant use the name as described to connect to my shared folders, still have to use the ip adress of my PI. Is there an easy way to check this problem?

Thanks 🙂
