Hi wcs2228,
I´m a newbie and sorry for such a simple question. Regarding your comment: Have you enabled Dynamic DNS (DDNS) on the server router and edited the client config file to replace IP address in the “remote” line with the DDNS domain name (xxx.glddns.com
I have edited the client.ovpn file and now can you pls tell me how can I load the new file in the openvpn server.
Many thanks in advance for your help
There is no need to upload the new config to the server. It's a client config.
Hi admon, sorry but I´m talking about editing the client.ovpn file created by the server and not the openvpn.ovpn file created on the client server when loading a vpn provider configuration
So what is your issue right now? And what do you want to do?
The client.ovpn file has this remote 83.40.53.77 1194
and I want to change it with the the remote glddns info and then load it in the openvpn server.
Is that possible?
I don't understand why you want to upload it to some server? It's the client config.
If you want to change the remote address, you need to adjust it on the server - because the server generates the new config every time you ask them for a download.
While downloading, it will even ask you about whether to use DDNS or not.
Ah OK! I was asking because user wcs2228 was saying to do this. However on gl.inet openvpn server when you start it doesn´t ask to use ddns or not. Thanks once again
Hi again admon, I finally understood that the client.ovpn file created by the openvpn server, once edited with the ddns info, is the file to be loaded on the openvpn client. Sorry for such a simple question
