Good morning guys, About 3 weeks I got OpenVPN up and running with my Synology with surprisingly little effort. I travel for work and love being able to log in and browse the synology as a network as if I'm sitting at home. But as of this morning I can no longer connect, as far as I can tell nothing has changed. My synology and router IP have not changed. See picture of the error. Any help will be greatly appreciated! https://ibb.co/myT20Zt Kevin

I'm sure this isn't what you are looking for, so please explain where to find the log you are looking for if it isn't. Thanks in advance. https://ibb.co/mXH38QX

The crazy thing is I can't even connect from my local network. When I was getting set up at first that was absolutely no problem, obviously didn't require router ports to be opened up, etc. I did see another forum with yesterday's date with a guy have the same "soft,tls-error", is it something on OpenVPN's end? Its just so bizarre because i have literally changed nothing from April 2nd to today and this has happened. Kevin

Activate SSH in DSM, login through SSH with admin account. Then enter following: [code]echo log /var/log/openvpn.log > /usr/syno/etc/packages/VPNCenter/openvpn/openvpn.conf[/code] [code]echo verb 4 > /usr/syno/etc/packages/VPNCenter/openvpn/openvpn.conf[/code] [code]sh /var/packages/VPNCenter/target/scripts/openvpn.sh restart[/code] To read the log: [code]cat /var/log/openvpn.log[/code]

Ok my SSH was already enabled. Where am I to copy / paste those 4 lines? Kevin

Yeah I see that. There must be a logical explanation. Nothing has changed since Apr. 2nd???

After logging in as admin try [code]sudo -i[/code] and enter admin password again. Synology probably changed something as I`m running older version of DSM... Otherwise search for "login ssh root synology" or something similar.

OpenvVPN with Synology - Stopped connecting

I guess that is a reasonable question, now that I have things configured properly to work remotely. Though I would have had an awfully tough time with my original setup if I had this problem at that time. And I also foresee it being a big "potential" problem when I get into setting up this new network as I mentioned a few posts back. Why would it start a few weeks ago working, then work remotely, now not work locally but still work remotely?

I will have more time this evening and will look up nat loopback and let you know what I come up with.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Hi Guys,

Sorry I've disappeared for about 3 weeks but unfortunately my problems didn't. I wasn't able to fix my issue of not being able to log on to my vpn from within my network, the only thing I checked is that my "Filter Internet NAT redirection" was checked. But at the end of the day it really isn't an issue for me, when I'm travelling I'm able to log in and browse my shared drive no problem.

But my issue right now is I have the new DS218+ setup and running. I have cloudstation working with no issues, but I'm not able to get the VPN server working at all and I can't figure out what I have different from my original setup. Please see the screenshots below, first is connected to my home network and the second is connected to my cell phone. As always, help will be greatly appreciated!

We refer to baby steps as Spoon feeding and it is generally not something we do.

Please refer to the OpenVPN Howto for the general level of help you need.

You will probably also need to consult the manual for your device and their associated website.

And once you have done so, please follow this example to ask for further help:

Thanks.

Edit:
You may also need to use Easyrsa3 to generate a new PKI if your device is old and crusty.
