To install NeoRouter VPN solution to your HDA (following instructions are for Amahi 7):

  • Visit the Linux page and download the current version of NeoRouter Server for your Linux distribution.


Or from the command line
wget -c http://download.neorouter.com/Downloads/NRFree/<UpdateVersion>/Linux/<distro>/nrserver-<version>-<release>-<Arch>.<ext> 
Example
http://download.neorouter.com/Downloads/NRFree/Update_2.1.2.4326/Linux/CentOS/nrserver-2.1.2.4326-free-centos-x86_64.rpm
  • Install
sudo rpm -i nrserver-<version>-<release>-<arch>.rpm
  • If firewall is running, configure your firewall, in a terminal, run command
sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables
add
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 32976 -j ACCEPT
before
COMMIT
  • After install, configure your server:
nrserver -showsettings
nrserver -setdomain myPrivateNetwork myDomainPassword
nrserver -showsettings
nrserver -showusers
nrserver -adduser serverbox password admin
NOTE: Substitute "serverbox" and "password" for whatever you want to use
nrserver -adduser jdoe password admin
NOTE: Substitute "jdoe" and "password" for whatever you want to use)
nrserver -adduser bsmith password user (ditto)
nrserver -showusers
OPTIONAL step to change VPN network IP range:
nrserver -dhcp 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0
  • Restart your HDA.
  • Install the appropriate NeoRouter client package on a workstation and attempt to log into the network via one of the users previously created. For more details on client installation, refer to Client Setup.
  • Optionally, install the NeoRouter client package on the same machine running the NeoRouter server package. This allows VPN users to connect with other services hosted by the same computer as the NeoRouter server. For example, VNC to remotely access the desktop of the HDA.
