Once the official Rockstor version > 4.1.0 has been released, the information for the OpenVPN Rockon needs to be updated to reflect the introduction of the venv environment, by adapting the additional instruction paths for certificates, etc.

Additional steps are required by this Rock-on.

Run these following commands as the root user on your Rockstor system, i.e., via a ssh console.

Initialize PKI The OpenVPN Rock-on will not start without it.

/opt/rockstor/.venv/bin/ovpn-initpki

Generate a client certificate One for each client

/opt/rockstor/.venv/bin/ovpn-client-gen

Retrieve client configuration For any one of your clients. The resulting .ovpn file can be used to connect to this OpenVPN server.

/opt/rockstor/.venv/bin/ovpn-client-print

Configure firewall

If your Rockstor system is behind a firewall, you will need to configure it to allow OpenVPN traffic to forward to your Rockstor system.
