Connect back through VPN to client

[revilo951]

Hi folk,

I'm trying to figure out how (or if it's even possible) to connect to a remote client from the local LAN side.

For example:
I have a NAS at a mates house, for the purpose of offsite backups. At my place, I have an OpenVPN server running. Rather than fuss about opening ports on my mate's modem, I want to just have the NAS connect to my VPN at home, then I can access it across the VPN connection.

Is it a pipe dream?

Since you're posting in the forum for the OpenVPN Access Server commercial VPN server product, I'm assuming you have that product installed. If so, see this page;

Ah, I see. I've posted in the wrong area. I'll repost it in the community section.
