Great stuff! Got it working like a charm. Came here after failing to get the native VPN connection working on my Netgear Nighthawk. Using proxmox + openVPN on an Ubuntu CT just works with your method.

Thank you for taking the time and explain this tutorial in great detail. I am new to proxmox and vpn. I learned something new today and I now have a VPN!! 😀🥰

Awesome, glad the video helped.

@zach7269 Ай бұрын

Thanks for taking the time to make this. Explaining each linux command would be helpful. Maybe that would be too long of a video for most audience.

@BlueMonkey4n6 Ай бұрын

Good suggestion, I will see about explaining each command in the future and balance it with video length

Thanks for putting this together, and explaining it step by step. Unfortunately, since i have moved to pfsense, my vpn files are taking the local address, and not the wan ip address. And therefore, it doesn't work for me. To add more detail. The step right after when you execute the bash script, it doesn't prompt me for the option "This servere is behind NAT...". and When i create an opvn file, it has the containers local ip address listed on the top. Would you please be able to help? Thanks in advance

Great finally a video where my OpenVpn is working... except for some reason the performance is very bad and so not useful (talking B/S and KB/S). Do you have any idea what the reason could be?

@BlueMonkey4n6 6 ай бұрын

Great question. I believe there are many factors as to why performance is not so good. Two top reasons is encryption algorithm and CPU power. You could monitor the CPU usage to see how much of it is taken up when OpenVPN is doing its thing. And trying out a less taxing encryption algorithm may help in speed but you sacrifice security. You may also want to check on whether you have compression turned on, that would for sure slow things down on older processors

I've did pretty everything identically except the I used debian instead of ubuntu i don’t know if that's a big deal. But when I try, my vpn can connect, but cannot get the proper dns server when connected to the vpn, it gets 10.0.0.10 instead of the ip of my router... Help pls TwT. Ps: I use tunnelblick to connect to my vpn on a macbook

the system does not have the tun device available. tun needs to be enabled before running this installer. can help please

@BlueMonkey4n6 18 күн бұрын

did you edit the .conf file for that LXC to add the /dev/net/tun device?

@repairstudio4940 Ай бұрын

Liked and Subbed, is this as secure as CloudFlare and do I need a domain and all the jazz like Cloudflare?

@BlueMonkey4n6 Ай бұрын

Thats a good question. Stay tuned to this channel as I am planning to do an episode about services that provide Dynamic DNS such as Cloudflare.

11:30 you should've shown how to actually download that file to a computer so that you can send it to your iPhone.

@BlueMonkey4n6 Ай бұрын

Ah, good point. I was so excited to get that file to my iPhone, I didnt explain clearly. I basically just copied that text from the terminal window from Proxmox and then pasted it to a TextEdit document on my Mac. Alternatively I could have transferred it using a NAS on my network.

@gambeta1337 Ай бұрын

@@BlueMonkey4n6 Yup, that works as well. Was jsut something I noticed you didn't explain so that you can improve in further videos. I was able to do this by setting up a SCP connection

@BlueMonkey4n6 Ай бұрын

@@gambeta1337 appreciate the useful feedback! scp is definitely another good way of doing it.

Great tut!! I wondering, can we setup a password for the user?

@BlueMonkey4n6 5 ай бұрын

Apparently you can although not recommended due to security. I have not tried it out myself but I'm going to look into it and maybe create video tutorial for the steps.

@jlgiorio 5 ай бұрын

@@BlueMonkey4n6 I thought having a password would be safer. We have the certificates and you would still have to enter a password to connect. I'm going to do some tests here too. Post results here. Thank you and congratulations again for the videos!
