OpenVPN / PiVPN setup instruction - Pieterke58 - 2024 Mar 10
Hi Dan, herewith a very newbie question from the Netherlands. I like to start with conveying my compliments for the SIP program and the work that you're are doing.
As mentioned I'm a newbie and glad that I have SIP now running on a Raspberry Pi 3. I'm able to control it in mine network with iPad and iMac, so far so good. Also ssh connecting to the Pi is working and so I have the ability to make changes etc.
I like to control it later on from outside my network. Therefor I did a lot of searching on this forum and the internet. Finally I installed PiVPN on the raspberry pi and used the wifi adres. Furthermore installed OpenVPN on the iPad and did some changes in the router. OpenVPN comes with an app and with the oven file created on the Pi I'm able to make the connection between the iPad and the raspberry pi.
So until here no issues although I have to admit it was a lot of reading, trying and following instruction without exactly understanding what I was doing. No worries passwords etc are secured so no open gates on router, iPad of pi.
I was wondering of there is a instruction, manual on setting this OpenVPN - PiVPN connection?
Because I'm now puzzling how to reach the SIP homepage on the raspberry pi via this connection. As mentioned I'm able to connect but I have no idea what the next step is.
Do I need to do something in the OpenVPN app on the iPad with proxy??????
best regards, Martin

Hi Dan,
looks like the issue is solved. I uninstalled and re-installed PiVPN on the raspberry pi and used the lan ip adres on which I also reach SIP. Now I'm able to reach SIP trough the PiVPN - OpenVPN connection when I'm outside the reach of my home network.
best regards, Martin

Als je betere vpn performance wil dan kun je ook Wireguard proberen. Dat is wat moderner dan OpenVPN.

Tijdens de installatie van PiVPN zag ik die optie, maar de tutorial die ik volgde gaf aan OpenVPN te kiezen. Als ik wat beter begrijp wat ik nu eigenlijk aan het doen ben zal ik op een clone SD Wireguard proberen. Dank voor het antwoord en de tip.
