Remote access to your Amahi HDA comes pre-configured out of the box.

The VPN solution is implemented through the very popular OpenVPN software VPN.

Each HDA comes pre-configured with a remote access server. Once connected, 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.

You need to forward one port in your router to enable the VPN.

Requirements

There are two requirements for Remote Access to work:

  • On the client side, you need to be running an OpenVPN client. We provide one for Windows, preconfigured and we recommend one for the Mac, which requires some manual configuration, which are the same settings for the Linux client.
  • Your router needs to provide acces to UDP port 1194. The way to open is through port forwarding. Forward UDP port 1194 from your router to the IP address of your HDA.
