  • Is there a WebUI for multi-tenant OpenVPN setup?
    3 projects | /r/selfhosted | 2 Jun 2023
    I've been using this myself for managing two different OpenVPN setups, https://github.com/flant/ovpn-admin it's fairly basic but it does the job and generates .ovpn files for the clients. I'm building it and running it with docker, one for each vpn network.
  • OVPN-Admin local lan access configuration
    1 project | /r/selfhosted | 20 Jan 2023
    I use both Wireguard (primary) and OpenVPN(secondary) to access my homelab. I really like the ease of management of WGDashboard for Wireguard and so went looking for something similar for OpenVPN and ran into ovpn-admin which I am running on a docker container. It works well, but I am struggling with a major issue: enabling local LAN access.
  • OpenVPN and pihole deployed with docker setup problem
    1 project | /r/OpenVPN | 15 Sep 2022
    Based on this idea I want to add pihole service in the docker-compose file. I added the service like so: yaml pihole: container_name: pihole image: pihole/pihole:latest depends_on: - "openvpn" # ports: # - "53:53/tcp" # - "53:53/udp" # - "67:67/udp" # - "8081:80/tcp" env_file: - ./pihole/.env environment: TZ: 'Europe/Athens' # Change that with your timezone WEBPASSWORD: 'askdlasjd32r2fweasfq' DNS1: 1.1.1.1 # CloudFlare ServerIP: 172.19.2.1 # https://github.com/Simonwep/openvpn-pihole/blob/master/docker-compose.yml volumes: - './pihole/etc-pihole/:/etc/pihole/' - './pihole/etc-dnsmasq.d/:/etc/dnsmasq.d/' cap_add: - NET_ADMIN networks: npm_backend: ipv4_address: 172.19.2.1 # from npm-backend network restart: unless-stopped
  • ovpn-admin 1.7.x: a simple web UI to manage OpenVPN users is updated
    1 project | /r/linux | 25 Oct 2021
    This March, we've introduced ovpn-admin — a simple web interface to manage OpenVPN users, their certificates & routes in Linux. It is Open Source with its backend written in Go and frontend based on Vue.js.
  • ovpn-admin is a new simple web UI to manage OpenVPN users
    2 projects | /r/linuxadmin | 26 Mar 2021
    Not sure how this all will work with Mikotiks, though. Because the admin panel should have access to the certificates and run on Mikrotik, but the OpenVPN there is quite limited (the things you've mentioned)… If you're really into it, it would be great to see a relevant issue, so other people can support, we can discuss all details and don't forget about it :-)
