just thought to add ...808 and every zeus version so far I have tried acts same.. cant try Helios due to not out for Tm yet :(
 
ive used openvpn for many years, different versions, on different os's and ive never had to use any extra commands to get it to work.

That's probably because you've not turned on this feature:

If you are using Linux, BSD, or a Unix-like OS, you can improve security by uncommenting out the user nobody and group nobody directives.

If you do that with the latest build, you get an error that the user 'nobody' does not exist. That's be uses the user group has changed ID. The command in the previous post fixes that and OpenVPN server can work again.
 
Just flashed my Duo to Helios 06 and restored settings from Zeus 023.
Openvpn won't start at all.
Any clue before I restore Zeus?

OpenVPN config is not saved as part of a settings backup. You will need to re configure OpenVPN again. This is recommended anyway due to the severity of the OpenSSL bug that existed in the precious version if OpenVPN.

Thx for that clue.
I'll give it a 2nd try
 
Thanks for you goed works!
Is it possible one of the clients configs used as a duo client? So that the duo2 works as server and the duo as client stay outside my house. Now i used remotestreamconverter with internet ip, that works but i cant connect to the map /hdd/media on the client.

map /hdd/media on the server
 
Andy, could the latest update of openvpn be used in a future update? E.g. 2.3.4

Hi

I am a relative newbie to both linux & my Vu+ Duo2 box which I hav flashed with the Vix image. That said I have reasonable skills and have dabbled in linux before at a similar level to that described below ...

My issue is that I am trying to install OpenVPN-2.3.4 but using the very helpful guide by finbarr found at http://www.world-of-satellite.com/showthread.php?36336-Guide-to-setting-up-an-OpenVPN-server-on-Vix

However this is a guide to install the older OpenVPN 2.2.2 and having read about some of the discovered vulnerabilities in this version I am trying to install the most up-to-date version. But the directory structures and files seem to be quite different between the versions and trying to adapt the principles in the guide to the new version have gone beyond my capabilities.

To date I have:
  • Installed the service from within the menu settings on Vix (and I think this is the newer version?) but I can't start it and when I look in the /etc/openvpn/ directory it is empty.
  • I have copied the latest openvpn-2.3.4 and the easy-rsa-2.2.0 tar files to the /tmp/ folder and decompressed them. I have then tried to copy into the /etc/openvpn/ folder as well as the easy-rsa directories, but this obviously did not solve the problem.
  • I have looked for help on the OpenVPN support page and tried to ./configure from the top directory of /openvpn/ but this gives an error that it doesn't recognise te linux build being used.

At this point I decided to ask for HELP!! :confused:

I also would appreciate help on potentially using Hola.net VPN so I can watch Hulu.com ... not sure whether OpenVPN will manage to do this too? I am happy to pay for the VPN service to get a good quality service for streaming.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks
 
Just to clarify ... I do realise that the 2 questions above are separate (as in the OpenVPN service will allow me to secure my network for streaming my Vu+ box outside my home ... the hola is to bypass geolocation limitations ... but the most 'elegant' solution is what I am looking for ...)
 
Did you try following the guide fully? The instructions are pretty complete. The reason it uses easyrsa 2 is because easy-rsa is no longer bundled with openvpn builds. This is just used to generate the keys and does not actively run all the time.

Vix uses the latest openvpn so that includes the Heartbleed fixes.
 
I did note that and downloaded the latest version of both easy-rsa as well as the Openvpn-2.3.4.tar.gz decompressed them (all in the tmp folder) and then coped them to the etc/openvpn/ folder (as I assumed that given this was empty that this was the problem). I also tried the './configure' & 'make install' commands unsuccessfully from both the /etc/openvpn/ folder as well as the /tmp/ folder ... all unsuccessfully.

So ... I suppose the short answer to your question is that 'no' I didn't follow exactly ... but that was only because when I typed in the commands line by line I was installing the Openvpn-2.2.2 version ... and as I say when I changed the commands to reflect the Openvpn-2.3.4 version some of the file structure has changed sufficiently to prevent the commands working.

So I came to halt really before anything was installed properly ...

Below are the lines of code I have tried:
cd /tmp/
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.2.2.tar.gz
tar -xvf openvpn-2.2.2.tar.gz
cp -r /tmp/openvpn-2.2.2/easy-rsa/ /etc/openvpn/ ...error at this point
cp /tmp/openvpn-2.2.2/sample-config-files/server.conf /etc/openvpn/
cp /tmp/openvpn-2.2.2/sample-config-files/client.conf /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/
chmod 777 *

Then:
cd /tmp/
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.3.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf openvpn-2.3.4.tar.gz
cp -r /tmp/openvpn-2.3.4/easy-rsa/ /etc/openvpn/ ...error at this point due to the lack of easy-rsa in the new releases
cp /tmp/openvpn-2.3.4/sample-config-files/server.conf /etc/openvpn/
cp /tmp/openvpn-2.3.4/sample-config-files/client.conf /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/
chmod 777 *

Then:
cd /tmp/
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.3.4.tar.gz
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/easy-rsa-2.2.0_master.tar.gz
tar -xvf openvpn-2.3.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf easy-rsa-2.2.0_master.tar.gz

.... I then tried various copy commands of variations/combinations of the folders of both Openvpn & easy-rsa ... all clearly unsuccessfully ...
cp -r /tmp/openvpn-2.3.4/easy-rsa/ /etc/openvpn/

I am sure those with the skill are probably shaking their heads saying here is a real newbie! ... but I would greatly appreciate a little direction on this!!

Many thanks!

Ok one part at a time.

Did you install OpenVPN from the feeds (in the UI, go to Settings>Setup>Network>OpenVPN and select Yes to install if not already done so).

Then on the command line run:

Code:
mkdir /etc/openvpn

if that directory doesnt exist.
 
Yes, I did install OpenVPN and there was a directory created /etc/openvpn/
