Remote VPN access to your Amahi HDA comes pre-configured out of the box. There is nothing to configure in the server.
Once connected from outside your network, your computer becomes virtually a computer in your home network. All your files and services are as easily accessible as when you are at home.
= Requirements =
There are two requirements for Remote Access to work:
* On the client side, you need to be running an OpenVPN a client. ** We provide one for Windows, preconfigured and we pre-configured for Amahi** We recommend one for the Mac, which requires some manual configuration, which are ** The client for Linux comes with most distros and uses the same settings for as the Linux client.Mac* Your router needs to forward '''UDP port 1194''' to the IP address of the serveryour HDA. The way to do this is through port forwarding, which varies from router to router.Make sure you forward UDP (not TCP)
= Clients For Windows, Mac and Linux =
* If you have a Vonage V-Portal (or perhaps other voip adapters as well), plug your router into your modem, then the v-portal into your router. Vonage tells you to put the v-portal between the modem and the router, but I was unable to connect to vpn until I moved the adapter behind the router.
= Implementation =
The VPN solution is implemented through the very popular [http://openvpn.net/ OpenVPN] software VPN.
