Trying to setup OpenVPNs to Orange device

My understanding is that the Local VPN Hostname/IP: box is automatically filled, so if the remote client selects a different DDNS service, that should work.

As “Local VPN Hostname/IP:” the FQDN or the IP of the red interface will be set automatically. If you use a DSL connection, it is also possible to configure your own dynamic dns addresses in IPFire. For DSL and other dial-up connections, IP-addresses are changing, and the OpenVPN-server would no longer be available! So without a static IP, a “Dynamic Domain Name System” makes the OpenVPN-service permanently available.

If you have a DDNS name then use that in the Local VPN Hostname/IP: box.

VPN into closed DMZ?

Hi @dazz. I think there would be no problem doing it. I don’t see why not. A “Static IP address pools” can be created to close the access to the dynamic OpenVPN but not for this pool. Next, create firewall rules that prevent outside access to the DMZ. Maybe someone has another opinion. Greetings.
