I have a DNS-323 and have used This tut to setup OpenVPN to access resources on the dns-323 when remote from such devices as my andoid phone and others. I install the OpenVPN client on my android phone and it connects and everything looks great. I can even access the lighhtpd webpage listening on the default port 8080 just fine from my phone, however if I try to access the Alt-F admin page on the default port 80 I get a 403 Forbidden error. is this by design or did I miss something somewhere. I was thinking that maybe the http server that alt-f uses is not binding to the new openvpn ip which in my case is 10.8.0.1 (dns-323 over openvpn? The normal (non-vpn) lan ip is 192.168.1.222. I can access the alt-f admin page just fine from my laptop that is on the same 192.168.1.x lan without issue.

Im using alt-f RC3 with ffp.05

Thoughts?

Have you tried to use Alt-F openVPN package? If not, now that you know how to do it, can you try to replicate the setup with it and report back?

Services->Network->inetd->Configure->httpd->Configure->  Remote Administration (yes bookmarking/shortcuts are needed!)

Adding your vpn IP solves the issue?

Hi!
I have local network IPs 10.0.0.1-254 and OpenVPN network IPs 10.0.1.1-254. So I added to
'Services->Network->inetd->Configure->httpd->Configure->Remote Administration"  <10.0.1.0/24> (24 stands for network mask 255.255.255.0) and still have no access to the box over VPN.
BTW, hint says, that remote admin. IPs can only consist of 1 to 254, no zeros?
