Task: | |
Access OpenVPN or any Service on Home Network from Public Networks (Hotel) without configuring router and without static IP | |
Step 1: | |
Install OpenVPN on any device connected to Home Network (Raspberry mychoice with pivpn) | |
- Change default OpenVPN protocol from UDP to TCP (Cloudflare doesn't support UDP) | |
- Make a note of TCP port number (default is 443) | |
- Grab the OpenVPN client config file | |
Step 2: | |
Install Cloudflared on Raspberry PI | |
- Create a tunnel | |
- Add route to tunnel (cloudflared tunnel route dns tunnelName tunnelName.domain.com) | |
- Example config: | |
tunnel: 6ff42ae2-765d-4adf-8112-31c55c1551ef | |
credentials-file: /root/.cloudflared/6ff42ae2-765d-4adf-8112-31c55c1551ef.json | |
ingress: | |
- hostname: tunnelName.domain.com | |
service: tcp://127.0.0.1:443 (OpenVPN Server's Local IP ) | |
- service: http_status:404 | |
- Run the tunnel (You can also setup cloudflare service) | |
Step 3: | |
- Install Cloudflared on your Machine - OpenVPN Client Machine (Machine on Public Network) | |
- Create a connection to your OpenVPN Server | |
cloudflared access tcp --hostname tunnelName.domain.com --url 127.0.0.1:87548 (port_of_your_choice) | |
- Now update remote in OpenVPN config file with 127.0.0.1:87548 | |
- If you want to protect your openvpn with Cloudflare's free Protection add to Cloudflare Teams, When Profile is imported and | |
connected user will be prompted with login page. as a 2FA | |
Step 4: | |
- Download OpenVPN Client | |
- Import profile and Connect |
Just got this to work. Thanks!!!
The only thing that was incorrect and needed adjustment was the change in the OpenVPN config file. It needs to be 127.0.0.1 87548 instead of 127.0.0.1:87548. Whitspace instead of ":".
Everything else worked fine.
