I’ll look into it. Thanks!
True, the main issue with that is (in my extremely limited experience) remote desktop connections tend to compress what is being shown. So, a workable solution, but it anything I did would be a compression of what is showing on my home computers screen at whatever fps the remote client renders at. (Some operate at 15-30 fps I believe.)
Thanks, I’ll look into it and see if I can find any guides for windows. I like the idea of not having to use certificates as transferring them can be very annoying.
Thanks! This is along the lines of what I am looking for. Will look into it!
e but that’s because every step is laid out nice and simple. Just set the server up, copy the config files to your phone or laptop, download the client software and connect.
Agreed, I can’t even seem to change the default port that the windows vpn uses…
I’ve gone through that guide twice so far (as in setting up the server) and have somehow managed to fail both times… The main problem is I don’t understand the concepts behind the configuration settings I am changing and I think that is causing some severe issues with troubleshooting…
I’ve checked the demo version and it has *a loot* of features but I can’t find subscription plan.
Can you please point me to it or attach a photo from your console?
Thanks!
I installed this and opened the port its using for connection but I cant seem to connect… Did you have to do anything special?
Also, is there a way to get the wireguard config for it rather than the openvpn config ?
Unfortunately, no. I have Fios and their router doesn’t support this…
Wireguard has binaries for major platforms also mobile platforms. I use it with Linux, Windows, Android and IOS.
I used to use OpenVPN set up on a Raspberry Pi 3 (and then 3+) with PiVPN as well.
After trying Wireguard and a massive improvement in speed, connection quality, I ditched OpenVPN and rely on Wireguard exclusively.
I’ll keep that in mind. (Once I know what ufw is lol) Thanks!
Yep. Most use Pi or router but I use the built in function on my nas and it works great.
Not really, I gave it a static IP and just forwarded the port as normal. I have used it for streaming and it works well. I do have a 1000/1000 pipe at home so I am pretty much only limited by the speed of the public network I am connected to.
forwarding w socks and reverse tunnelling and all those advanced features make ssh the ultimate quick and dirty vpn. of you cant do what you want with ssh you should slow down and ask yourself if youre trying to squeeze too much garbage into the definition of “vpn”.
warning: you will have to take the time to understand how all your services work or you wont be successful with any vpn solution
Its free selfhosted do not need a sub.
You have to open the port to openvpn and not the web gui. No I think you can only use openvpn
That’s why I don’t use equipment provided by providers.
Check ur bill - they sometimes charge you like 10$ a month for equipment, in which case it’s just economical to get your own stuff.
Good to know! So you were able to get wireguard running on the Raspberry pi?
ufw is the uncomplicated firewall hands-down the best way to setup a firewall simply and easily on Linux devices.
ou or a few users, you should use WireGuard instead. It’s 5 times faster and best of all it doesn’t need security certificates to verify the users. The server configuration file consists of simple client keypairs.
That being said, the only reason why home users need to dial into OpenVPN is the ability to choose switch to TCP instead of UDP. This is because the firewall at some workplaces allows only HTTPS traffic and UDP port 53 for DNS traffic. So basically they set up OpenVPN server to listen on HTTPS TCP port.
Btw, have you ever tried streaming through your Nas’s vpn?
