Hi all,

I’m trying to configure OpenVpn server on my QNAP (QTS -453A). I can connect to the server without problem (Client on Windows 7). The problem is that although the user I’m using to connect to the vpn server can only access to its home directory, if I open the VPN IP of the NAS from Explorer , I can browse all the shared directories.
Where is the mistake? Thank you for any help.

@ Gijs

that is a good question. I would set the IPs to match your local network in order to have acccess to your local devices.

I had to use the IP address just below the client IP addresses in the VPN setup. Clients were 10.2.0.2-10.2.0.254 so the gateway to connect on the VPN was 10.2.0.1. For Mac to connect, used afp://10.2.0.1 with Apple File Protocol enabled.

Mac Instructions
1. Open your VPN connection
2. Go to the Finder and hit apple-K (Connect to Server)
3. In the Server Address box enter the IP address of the computer you want to log into with this prefix afp://
4. Click on the Connect button

The share should now appear in the Finder window sidebar. Hope this works for you and good luck.

You can use whatever you want in your IP Range, 10.1.0.x is just an example

Can you tell me what ip-range to use in the VPN-server settings?
In your example you use 10.1.0.1 – 10.1.0.254
Is this because in your local network your pc is at 10.1.0.x? Or should I use always another subnet fot the VPN-connection?
