There are two requirements for Remote Access to work: * On the client sideTo get started, you need to be running an OpenVPN client. We provide pick one for Windows, preconfigured and we recommend one for install the Mac, which requires some manual configuration, which are app and the same settings for the Linux relevant client software in your client.* Your router needs to forward '''UDP port 1194''' to the IP address of the server.

= Troubleshooting =
* Make sure your HDA's network IP range is different than that of the remote network. (e.g. if your HDA's IP address is 192.168.1.X, you cannot connect to it on a remote network also using 192.168.1.X)
* If you are running your HDA from a Verizon FiOS connection, you may experience strange disconnections. This may be due to the Actiontec router's small NAT table. Please see guides here http://www.verizonfioswiki.com/index.php/Using_Your_Own_Router for instructions on how to use your own router.
