LOL hi I am not gone, I am around
Been super busy with real world work so I haven't had much time to dedicate in SNB.
I will be more active.
thanks for the concern

Yorgi! Good to see you (and your cat) in print again, (I don't get by here enough either). Now you know much you're appreciated

 

[Kirkh]

Good to hear from you! I enjoy your posts and have learned much from them! Thanks!!

And that's what's what makes the forums work so well, when everyone helps one another and shares info, so we can all learn and make our toys work as well as they can (and like we want)

384.5 should keep him busy, since I'm in the process of revising various aspect of the OpenVPN configuration.

Thank you Eric, it will keep everyone busy and more secure.

[System Error Message]

lol i never get a have you seen System Error Message post when i go missing, though im sure that'd be filled with trolls of actual system error messages.

I prefer to think yorgi as his picture, it really matches the name well.

So far (this is just after a first pass at them, still have things left on the ToDO list

   - CHANGED: Revised OpenVPN server options:
              o Removed "TLS Reneg time" (rarely used, can manually
                be set as a custom option)
              o Removed "Server Poll" (which didn't work
                properly)
              o Removed "Push LAN" and "Redirect Gateway",
                replaced with new Client Access setting
              o Removed Firewall setting (firewall rules are now
                always created, and the broken External mode
                was fixed and integrated into the new Client
                Access setting)
              o Removed option to respond to DNS queries - enabling
                the option to Push DNS will also handle it
              o Added new Client Access setting to select between
                three types of access: LAN only, WAN only (will
                block access to the LAN, including the router
                itself) and LAN + WAN.

   - CHANGED: Revised OpenVPN client options:
              o Removed "Poll Interval" (which didn't work properly)
              o Removed Firewall setting (firewall rules are now
                always created)
              o Modified behaviour of Connection Retry.  Instead
                of taking a value in seconds that only affected
                resolution failure, it now takes a number of attempts,
                and affects connection failures.  Resolution failures
                will now retry for an infinite period of time (the
                default OpenVPN value).

I have a router freed up and ready to test when the code is ready. I rely on OpenVPN Server for remote access to several sites. I also have the blog posts with the OpenVPN Client and Server setup instructions that will need updating.
