Hi all,
The OpenVPN PKG has just been released for BlueOnyx 5211R. Additionally
all new features in it have been backported to the 5210R OpenVPN package:
https://shop.blueonyx.it/openvpn.html
The OpenVPN package essentially turns your BlueOnyx into an OpenVPN
appliance and tightly integrates with the GUI in order to allow you to
configure both the service and the VPN certificate management for your
users.
When OpenVPN is enabled via the GUI, keys and certificates for the
OpenVPN server are created and firewall rules for Firewalld (or APF) are
automatically created and maintained.
If you enable the feature "Allow siteAdmin", then each Vsite siteAdmin
can allow his users usage of OpenVPN to connect their workstations or
mobile devices via secure VPN with your BlueOnyx.
If the OpenVPN feature "Internet Access" is enabled in the OpenVPN
configuration, then this also allows connected VPN users to use your
server to route all internet traffic of their devices through your BlueOnyx.
Each user can download their OVPN config file (for easy client
configuration) via "Personal Profile" in the GUI and they also can
download a Zipfile that contains their personal OpenVPN certificate and
other assorted files if they need to configure a VPN client that doesn't
support OVPN files.
Please note: For the functionality "Internet Access" this package needs
either the shop PKG APF or Firewalld installed and active.
