Editing OpenVPN:Client Configuration

This document describes how to configure OpenVPN clients.

== Client Files ==

Client configuration files (<code>.ovpn</code>) are stored in <code>/root/</code>:

* <code>josh.ovpn</code>

* <code>Work_MacBook_Air.ovpn</code>

* <code>StrawberryNAS.ovpn</code> (Synology NAS)

== Client Configuration Structure ==

Each client <code>.ovpn</code> file contains:
* Client certificate

* Client private key

* CA certificate

* TLS-Crypt key

* Connection settings (server IP, port, protocol)

== Client Configuration Directory ==

Per-client configurations can be placed in <code>/etc/openvpn/ccd/</code> to assign static IP addresses or custom routes.

'''Current CCD Files''':
* <code>StrawberryNAS</code> - Static IP configuration for Synology NAS (10.8.0.2)

=== Example CCD File ===

Example CCD file content:
<pre>
ifconfig-push 10.8.0.2 255.255.255.0
</pre>

This assigns a static IP address (10.8.0.2) to the client named "StrawberryNAS". The second parameter is the netmask for the VPN subnet.

== Client Connection ==

=== Connecting from Client ===

==== '''Install OpenVPN client''' on the device ====
== '''Import the <code>.ovpn</code> file''' into the OpenVPN client ==
== '''Connect''' using the client application ==

=== Synology NAS Connection ===

The Synology NAS connects using <code>StrawberryNAS.ovpn</code> and typically receives IP address 10.8.0.2.

=== Verifying Connection ===

From the server, verify client is connected:

<pre class="lang-bash">
==== Check connected clients ====
cat /etc/openvpn/server/ipp.txt

== Check VPN interface ==
ip addr show tun0

== Ping client ==
ping 10.8.0.2
</pre>
