Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

I was wondering whether the packets would be forwarded to the right place. However, after reading a little, I see that Verizon's firmware on this router handles static IP addresses in a nonstandard way. Normally, static IP's are set directly on the device to an address outside the DHCP server range....

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

I already tested this offsite, everything works fine. The real test will be when or if my router ever decides to assign it a new ip address, then will the port forwarding follow it.

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

Thanks everyone for your help, I finally got this up and running. The key problem I had was that I was running it as a bridge instead of a gateway. Thanks also for the other tips, changing the encryption got rid of the error messages, and switching to TCP 443 allows me to bypass the restricted acces...

I tried to post them but got an error that they were too large. What size files does this site accept?

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

So far I'm having only partial success. I've installed Gargoyle on a Netgear WNDR4300 router, setup OpenVPN server, and setup a client using Tunnelblick on a Mac. I can connect to the server but can't reach the internet. I can ping the gateway and other devices on the local network, but can't ping a...

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

I think I have everything setup, except for trying to use port 443. When I set the OpenVPN Port: to 443, and try to save, I get the error - OpenVPN server port conflicts with web server port. Changes could not be applied. So I guess I have to disable a web server port, but not sure where to find thi...

Re: Is OpenVPN right for this?

Are you saying that the Netgear routers I mentioned above would not be good routers to use for this?

Is OpenVPN right for this?

I'd like to know if setting up an OpenVPN server will help me in this situation. I'm accessing the Internet from a public library wifi network, but the library restricts websites that I can access, and also does not let me use my mail app to get email as well as use a few other apps that access the ...
