There are two supported options for VPN in Amahi:

  • An IPsec VPN app which is built in on iOS devices like the iPad, iPhone, iPod. Details on how to set it up at IPSec VPN
  • An OpenVPN app which is a popular open source VPN stack. This is not included by default in iOS or Mac OS X. Details on how to set it up at OpenVPN


Both of them require forwarding ports to work from outside your network to your HDA.

We offer a free OpenVPN tester in your console in Amahi.org to test your setup, as a convenience, because the OpenVPN cannot be tested from within your network.

To get started, pick one and install the app and the relevant client software in your client computer or mobile device, then configure it for remote access.
