  1. Hello, Ive followed this guide, and i’m very happy it works.
    Just the missing files to start with in FreeNas 8.3 were confusing for me.

    Thanks again 😀

  2. If you upgrade, please update for the new 9.1. I assume that with the new init/shutdown script functionality, you can make the openvpn customization part of the system so it does survive firmware upgrades. That would be perfect.

    • I’m not so sure that those will do what you are hoping. The only thing I see being able to do…if it worked…would be to create a script that would add the necessary goodness to /etc/rc.conf, then start openvpn. I guess that would probably work.

      • Yeah, when I first came to your site some months ago, I read an entry about you needing help from your brother because you forgot the openvpn customization during an upgrade.

        I am exactly like you and would forget everything after a year or so. Nothing worse than trying to remember what you did after an upgrade or reinstall destroys custom-made parts.

        The way you describe it, it would be sufficient.
