• Are there any work arounds for the Netflix new "household" system?

  How you connect to your modem will depend on the device you are using, but for windows laptops as an example you download the OpenVPN program and input your modem details there, much like you would any other vpn service. I think there would be some guides on youtube. https://openvpn.net/. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Can i use PFSense to control incoming user connections (without a vpn?)

  I just started playing with CloudConnexa for remotely managing my second pFSense. Really nice and is free for up to 3 concurrent users. https://openvpn.net. Can also self-host OpenVPN access server with a free 2 concurrent license. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is it possible for a sysadmin to block only some packets from a VPN connection ?

  I too haven't used the client-nat directive in some years (I currently implement 1:1 NAT with pfsense to access my network because I'm too lazy to change the networks subnet from the default) so I decided to retest and it does appear that OpenVPN Connect clients do not properly support the client-nat directive but the traditional OpenVPN server/clients still do. I've just tested this on OpenVPN 2.6.3 Server,... Source: about 2 years ago

• My Installed App as Developer

  OpenVPN is a VPN client that I used primarily for work. We used VPN to connect to the dev server and we are using VPN. I also sometimes used that to open websites that got blocked in Indonesia like Reddit. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• A little server help would be appreciated (a bit out of my depth)

  Ensure remote access is by VPN only like the site-to-site with Ubiquitis gear, WireGuard or OpenVPN and there could be a paid option I just don't know. Source: about 2 years ago

• Daily General Discussion - November 28, 2022

  Not being facetious, but solution #1 is to consider upgrading your router to one that does have a native VPN server, such as the TP-Link Archer AX55. It's the easiest and most convenient solution. Solution #2 would be to install OpenVPN on a dedicated machine (e.g., a Raspberry Pi) and port forward to it. You mentioned having a NAS; it likely has a VPN server package available. Here's one for Synology. Source: over 2 years ago

• Beginner question

  In the case of OpenVPN Cloud, how should I configure the server so that I can connect to it? Is there step-by-step guide that fits the scenario where I make use of openvpn.net to run an openvpn server; then I use openvpn client to connect to that server? I check their docs, but I do not find the one that fits to my use case. Maybe I miss somewhere else. Source: over 2 years ago

• Beginner question

  I create an account in Openvpn through openvpn.net. What I expect/ want to test is connecting to Openvpn from my local env (client) for accessing a service where my IP will be different from my current one. Therefore, I suppose what described in faq (3 steps) is a procedure deploying a server to a specific area. And then after deployment I should be able to connect from my local env. Am I correct in that sense? Source: over 2 years ago

  Yes but the Docker image you linked as the same access server from openvpn.net still need to pay if you need more than 2 simultaneous connections, we need at least 8 = $840/year. Source: over 2 years ago
