OpenVPN server setup - Newbiee

guptac

Hello everyone

I am a newbie with the VPN stuff, I hope someone here can help me achieve what i am looking for -

I would like to setup up openvpn server on ubuntu/centos and be able to share and access files outside of my home over the internet. It would have been easy but unsecure as if i could open ports on my router but unfortunately in Poland by default for security the internet providers block port forwarding option and needs to be purchased for additional amount.

I would like to know what and how to setup the vpn server such that it can accept incomming connections. I had tried with several vpn services which work well on internal LAN but not from outside as incomming connections are blocked.

Any help with what i need in terms of services or setup that will help me achieve this I will be very happy to learn about it. If possible a complete guide to do this.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you're gonna need to forward at least one port to the VPN server.
