Since I did not find anything that was related to connection from QNAP Qvpn service 3, I wanted to put together a small step by step to have a functioning AirVPN connection from this class of NAS. no SSH connection is needed with this method, so anybody can achieve a connection without being too technical. These are the setting that worked for me, feel free to let me know if something did not work for you. open the AirVPN generator page: Config Generator - AirVPN turn the advanced option on. Select: ip layer exit - ipv4 only ip layer enter ipv4 openvpn profile 2.6 no-dco cipher automatic separate keys-certs select LinuxOS Select OPENVPN UDP, but any connection with tls-crypt, tls1.2 should work Pick your device/connection configuration if needed Pick your servers or countries generate and download the files. you should have: 1 - open vpn file 2 - ca.crt 3 - user.crt 4 - user.key 5 - tls-crypt.key rename the files you just downloaded in this way: user.crt in client.crt user.key in client.key Now, open the openvpn file with any txt editor change the entries in the list from user.crt to client.crt and from user.key to client.key you can paste this if you want: ca "ca.crt" cert "client.crt" key "client.key" QVPN is not prompting to upload the tls-crypt.key so this element will need to be added in the ovpn file. to do so, remove the tls-crypt "tls-crypt.key" line from the ovpn file open and copy the content of the downloaded tls-crypt.key add it back in pasting the content in this way. of course add your own TLSdecrypt key, this is provide only as example: <tls-crypt> -----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1----- hdiugfhjeiu9kfkfk..... 58e692ce09c8282d2770d2bf5c217c06 -----END OpenVPN Static key V1----- </tls-crypt> save the file and import all the files in Qvpn.

Hey, the day before yesterday, I installed QVPN on my QNAP 253a. There, I used a OpenVPN file form AirVPN. Without VPN, I get spends of about 35 MB/s. With VPN, I get a maximum of 2 MB/s. The CPU should be fast enough for it and while connected with OpenVPN I do not get high CPU usage. I tired it with UPC and TCP but it won't get faster. Do you have any idea what could fix it? Thanks for your help! Regards, Hannes
