Note, this is not a quick process it will probably take you 2-3 hours if all goes smoothly … one operation in step 3 alone can take up to 1 hour to complete (you don’t have to watch it complete so plan for a break).īe patient. It’s not a definitive, fits-all tutorial, just an explanation of the way I did it.
The following instructions are specific to my environment and the choices I made e.g using. If you don’t already have one (as I didn’t) then you need to set up a Dynamic DNS domain name. To run an VPN server you need a static public IP address. This is NOT about setting up your Pi as a VPN client connecting to an external VPN server provider. with the same level of security and the same location (useful if you are abroad so you can access content which may be restricted to your home country). This means you can access the internet from your device as if you were at home i.e. Setting up your Pi as an OpenVPN server allows you to securely connect to your home network with your phone/tablet/laptop when you are out and about.
Setting up ftp server in osmc update#
I currently have a PI running as a web cam (MotionEye) and OpenVPN server which I set up using these instructions (there’s a couple of places where a path may be different so I will update this tutorial at some point to identify the differences but they should be fairly obvious to most).
Update: This tutorial also works with Raspian installed as your PI operating system. I found a number of tutorials on setting up OpenVPN on the Pi running Raspian but there are some subtle differences if you are using OSMC. This is the first of a series of posts on how I set up a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B running OSMC to operate as an OpenVPN server.
