OpenVPN - This is why it is the most popular! - How to create an OpenVPN Server - Omada

In this video we address the requests of many of our users who wanted us to have published this important topic, about not only how to use the TP-link ER605 and ER7206 for creating an OpenVPN Server, but to use the OpenVPN client to establish remote secure connections to be used for file transfer, remote desktop connections, or even printing.

Is there a video for straight beginners someone can recommend. IDK how to find the information he is putting in the boxes

Too many on the platform needlessly inflate a discussion to increase payout. You keep it concise and too the point without any unnecessary filler or mental ticks. Outstanding, and subbed. TY.

Shit.
Accurate, precise, straightforward, no BS, no junk talk, straight to the point.
Literally one of the best vid I saw so far.

Perfect video - helped me a ton after finding no good resources for openvpn config for the ER605. Can you please link a video or guide to configure the firewall exceptions you mentioned around 5:48?

Can you help me understand one thing please?

If I use third party VPN like NordVPN my network traffic passes through their VPN server (which has a different country's public IP) right?

So if I setup the same VPN server but it's self hosted at home which IP does the traffic pass through? Is it the same public Ip address I was assigned by my ISP?
Or will I need another public IP for setting up my VPN?

Thanks. Very precise and informational video. Subscribed.

Does this establish an encrypted connection? i.e. does it use SSL or do we need to do additional steps to set that up? This video was very helpful.

Hello, in this case may I confirm if your ISP connection provides static IP? Thank you.

Hey guys, I'm new to the VPN world. I have a question about my setup.

I run OpenVPN server as docker container on Ubuntu server within private home network (no public IP). And port-forward towards IP:Port of the server in the router. This works great, however, my main concern is security. My Router doesn't have VPN config options as it is quite old, is port-forwarding secure enough for the simple use case of accessing home media server? Are there any options I can leverage that are better?

Any input would be helpful :) Thanks

Hi, Thanks for sharing, I tried this openVPN and it access to your local network device and but does not take Router public IP. do we have solution with this router ? for example if my laptop with ISP IP Y1.Y2.Y3.Y4 connect to openVPN server with public IP X1.X2.X3.X4, my laptop still have the IP of the Y1.Y2.Y3.Y4 ( what my public IP )

[dfpc]

Hey, so I have some questions, first I need a public IP for this to work right? Do I need to open a port on the router after I configured openvpn? Do I need to open a port on the computer where I will be using the vpn?

[dannydzware]

Thanks for that video.
But I have the following problem, if I import that file it shows me the local IP from the er605 (192.168.x.x) and not like yours a public one. I believe, I missed some settings, but according to video I can't see, where I did the mistake. maybe you know, what is the trick.
As long as I am connected to the er605 I can connect with the openvpn. But as soon I am using for example my hotspot, I can't connect anymore.
Thanks for your help

Great video! Do you know how to configure for the client dont use the internet of the VPN server when connected, but use the internet of ISP of the local network? I'm tried routing policy and other configs, but doenst work. Thanks!

[jakeeemarcluckyparaan]

Hi sir, assuming that i want to access remotely my home network using different network but establishing a openvpn server. Can i access my home network by doing these? Thank you!

[czmmcz]

Newbie question: Would it be possible if I plug my ER605 directly to my ISP's ONT and then configure it from there? So it'll be something like ISP's ONT > ER605 > Wireless Router

[karlb]

Does it not work if we want to configure this remotely from the omada controller? Does it need to be done in the routers GUI?

[josecisne]

Do I have to use a different certificate for each user, or can the same certificate be used by many users?

[andreabissoli]

Hi thank you for your video. At which ip should i open the port i chose as server?
