OpenVPN (Anonine) and Synology DSM


After trying to get OpenVPN to work on our Synology DiskStation without luck, and searching the web for guidance me and my SO finally got it to work. This will use the VPN Server-method since the VPN Client-method with the pseudo connection never worked for us.

Prerequisites

  • Make sure you've activated SSH-acces to your Diskstation (google for guide). 
  • You also need a program (i.e Putty) to access your Diskstation through SSH (google putty.exe)

METHOD

Firstly, go to your Anonine (or other OpenVPN-provider) and download your certificate file. With Anonine the certificate is in a downloadable zipfile (ends with *.crt), just unzip it to any folder.

install vpn server

copy crt file
create userpass file

start putty
login as user: root
password: your admin passoword
go to the config files folder by typing
cd /usr/syno/etc/packages/VPNCenter/openvpn

then type:
vi openvpn.conf.user

to start writing, press the letter i
enter the following (if you are using another provder than anonine, change the urls accordingly)
client
dev tap
proto udp
remote openvpn.anonine.net 1194
remote openvpn.anonine.net 1195
remote openvpn-2.anonine.net 1196
remote openvpn-2.anonine.net 1197
remote openvpn-3.anonine.net 1198
remote openvpn-3.anonine.net 1199
remote openvpn-4.anonine.net 1200
remote openvpn-4.anonine.net 1201
remote-random
resolv-retry infinite
auth-user-pass userpass
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
reneg-sec 0
verb 3
#plugin /lib/openvpn/openvpn-down-root.so /etc/ppp/ip-down
#log openvpn.log

now tick the box to start openvpn server in DSM webinterface (VPN Server) and apply.
