Request for help: Using AirVPN with Synology DiskStation (NAS)

[Caliban 4]

Hello.  

 

While it was working fine on an earlier version of my NAS's OS, I am having difficulty getting to stable on the latest version.

 

I've followed the tutorial many times, which is what I've always done to get it to work, but this time things don't quite work consistently.

 

What I need is someone's take on exactly how the settings in the AirVPN-generated config file should be melded into the Synology-generated config files.  

 

Note that one of the Synology files includes user name and password info, but in the past I have never used that; I've only used the keys and certs that I receive in the zip file from AirVPN.  I'd like to have things configured so that I don't have to have my user info in the file.

 

CONFIG FILES

=================================

 

AirVPN Config FIle

================

client

dev tun

proto udp

remote nl.airvpn.org 53

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

persist-key

persist-tun

remote-cert-tls server

cipher AES-256-CBC

comp-lzo no

route-delay 5

verb 3

explicit-exit-notify 5

-ca "ca.crt"

cert "user.crt"

key "user.key"

tls-auth "ta.key" 1

 

Synology Config File 1:  client_o1423043191

=================

dev tun

tls-client

remote nl.airvpn.org 53

pull

proto udp

up /usr/syno/etc.defaults/synovpnclient/scripts/ovpn-up

route-up /usr/syno/etc.defaults/synovpnclient/scripts/route-up

ca ca_o1423043191.crt

comp-lzo

redirect-gateway

script-security 2

float

reneg-sec 0

explicit-exit-notify

plugin /lib/openvpn/openvpn-down-root.so /usr/syno/etc.defaults/synovpnclient/scripts/ip-down

auth-user-pass /tmp/ovpn_client_up

 

Synology Config File 2:  ovpnclient.conf

[o1423043191]

nat=no

protocol=udp

redirect-gateway=yes

comp-lzo=yes

pass=xxxxxxxxxxxx

port=53

reconnect=yes

conf_name=AirVPN_NL

user=Caliban

remote=nl.airvpn.org

 

 

Again, what I'm shooting for is the proper addition of the AirVPN config file to the Synology files so that the NAS will still be happy, yet have what it needs to make the connection properly.

 

Thanks!
