VU+ as OpenVPN Client

Martos777

Hi,
I succesfully sat up my netgear r7500 (client-to-gateway-tunnel) router as a vpn server and managed to get my laptop connected to my home network via openvpn.
Now I try to do the same with my VU+ receiver (Enigma2 Linux based). My goal is to access all the other resources in my network with my VU+ from outside.
I installed the openvpn plugin and I put in the conf file in the openvpn folder and started it. Unfortunately I get no connection.
There are almost no configuration possibilities on the r7500 and I cannot even access any files from the the r7500 ( do not think it works anyway). But again the VPN is working fine on my laptop. It doesn???t on the VU+. I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance - Wolfgang

dev tap

Your server probably uses --dev tun

Martos777

Thank you - I tried it out and I got some error message like "tun/tap invalid argument (code=22)" - and I got no connection. Also I used google and found out that netgears VPN runs with dev tap only. That would also explain
why the laptop runs fine with DEV TAP.

Martos777

I solved it - I found some advice in an other forum - by adding ifconfig and the route statement it started to work.

sudo openvpn --config /home/user/vpn/client2.conf --ifconfig 192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0 --route 192.168.1.1

Obs.: The way I got it to work is by assigning, to the virtual interface, an static IP(192.168.1.5 255.255.255.0). In my case, I got the network 192.168.1.0/24 so I chose an IP address that is not in the range of the DHCP. That way, I'm sure that there won't be another device with the same IP.

Thanks to all that tried to help me.

OK .. --dev tap it is then ..

You may need to check that you have up-to-date versions on all your devices.

This may also be fixed with up-to-date versions .. make sure your entire systems are up-to-date .. not just openvpn.

Finally:

NOTE: your local LAN uses the extremely common subnet address 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x. Be aware that this might create routing conflicts if you connect to the VPN server from public locations such as internet cafes that use the same subnet.

:arrow: Never use 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 (or other common subnets) for your OpenVPN Server LAN :!:

You are advised to change your server LAN to a more unique RFC1918 compliant subnet. f.e 192.168.143.0/24
