I continued debugging the issue and fortunately, I finally found the root cause and solution. Turns out the Ubuntu client wasn't updating the DHCP settings automatically, so I added the following lines to the ovpn file:

up /etc/openvpn/update-systemd-resolved down /etc/openvpn/update-systemd-resolved

And also installed the following dependencies:

sudo apt install resolvconf openvpn-systemd-resolved

With that, I was able to solve the issue and now all the clients are resolving automatically.

@girish That's excellent news indeed!

@archos Do what most other sensible IT Pros do: Disable IPv6 for as long as possible 😉

I would be fantastic to integrate other apps to "require Cloudron VPN connection" in order to access them. It would solve many of our problems.

This seems to have resolved the issue. Many thanks 🙂

I can see 3,4 being generally useful to have. 1,2 are for service providers.

Happy to accept any PRs at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/openvpn-app . This has the complete app along with the UI.

@jayonrails yes , use the Directory integration. First, enable LDAP server in the first one - https://docs.cloudron.io/user-management/#directory-server .

Then, use it in the second one - https://docs.cloudron.io/user-management/#cloudron

@RazielKanos they should be in log viewer (atleast whatever openvpn writes out). Maybe you can turn up the log level for more output.

Maybe @mehdi has some ideas here since he wrote the initial app.

If I understand correctly, you are trying to put the OpenVPN certs into openwrt and this somehow leaks DNS. How are you testing this?

@girish Yes true, 2FA in OpenVPN connect is good to have. Importantly we need 2FA in FrontEnd is necessary as that one secured by password very likely user will reuse same password in all places or can provide very weak password.

So for now if you could enable 2FA in frontend that would be very helpful.

Fixed with latest package version now.

Thx a lot, I can try it but is there any way someone can create a package? Not for free for sure..

@girish, good day. sorry, should have said, fixed. i was using the same subdomain name as before the reinstall and for whatever reason that stopped everything from working.

@nebulon Update: after restarting the OpenVPN App, it connects and verifies TLS just fine.

Shrug, restart fixed it.

@nebulon said in Making User Admin in config.ini:

@aessen yes it has to be the Cloudron user's username.

OMG you rock, all of you. That worked and it also helps me better understand the proper syntax for code like this. Many thanks.

@girish Yes, I can appreciate the complexity. I'm looking forward to it!

Hijacking this thread. I don't think. it's currently possible to do port forwarding, is it? Use case is: I would like to conect a raspberry pi running yunohost at home to the vpn to get a static IP address which I won't get at home.

@girish Thank you, all looking good so far!
