I have installed OpenVPN server on a Raspberry PI and I can connect to it via my Win 7 PC client. However, the RPI doesn't serve the web interface for server configuration. Netstat doesn't show any port connections. The only openvpn process I can see is /usr/sbin/openvpn. Is that supposed to serve the web pages or should there be a separate web server process?

Openvpn does not have an admin page, you are thinking of OpenVPN Access Server.

Oh I see, I didn't realise it was a different product. Thanks, I have wasted a lot of time trying to trouble shoot it!
So do I need to configure my Raspi server by editing /etc/openvpn/server.conf?

You should start with the Howto, as ever.

I think I started with PiVPN from PiVPN.io, it was some time ago. The default configuration mainly works. The only thing that is wrong is that it doesn't find my devices on the server's network by name. My home router gives them host names with .lan suffix. I can only access them by IP address from the VPN client.
I tried adding push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.1", which is the address of router on the server's network but that did not fix it. But after removing the other DNS pushes to just leave this one, it does now work.
Thanks for your help.
