How to use a different port than standard

[pezgoon]

Hello there, so I am setting up PiVPN and openvpn connect on IOS, so everything on the PI is fine, but I am attempting to use a different port in the interest of more security (random number of my own) when I tried to import the profile with the port I'm using openvpn connect said "improper port cannot import profile" so I adjusted the profile and imported it and now want it to use my port.

From what I can see I need to do that through the proxy section? I have no idea how to set that section up and want to make sure it is done correctly, is the host IP the "in network" IP of the PI or public facing one?

port I'm guessing is the port I actually want

Username and password I'm not sure what would go here?

and does any of this have to do with the "server override" option?

Thanks for your help.

Are you using your own openvpn server ?

Yes? The raspberry pi is the server

Client:

Code: Select all

remote 666.666.666.666 66666 udp

66666 would be the port number.

Server:

Code: Select all

port 66666
