There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blankįor some fields there will be a default value, What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus Using SSL: openssl OpenSSL 1.0.2s-freebsd Note: using Easy-RSA configureation from /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/vars Your newly created PKI dir is: easyrsa build-ca Init-pki complete you may now create CA or requests. Note: using Easy-RSA conf from /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/vars

It will prompt for a password for the CA Key file, after one has been entered it will generate a ‘ca.crt’ and ‘ca.key’ file under the /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/pki directory. Next the easyrsa has to build its pki, to allow the CA to be created easyrsa init-pki vars Building The OpenVPN Keys Generating A Certificate Authority (CA) Set the permissions on this file to executable as follows: chmod a+x. Also changed the EASYRSA_CERT_RENEW & EASYRSA_CRL_DAYS.Above also has a CA_EXPIRE set for 10 years and the CERT_EXPIRE set for ~8 years.Above features increased security for EASYRSA_KEY_SIZE normal value would be 2048.

Set_var EASYRSA_REQ_EMAIL EASYRSA_REQ_OU "IT" You will need to edit the /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/vars file as follows using an editor: set_var EASYRSA "$" This can be done: cp /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/vars /usr/local/share/easy-rsa/vars.distro It might be prudent to take a copy of the original vars file so you have the original before editing a new one. Located in /usr/local/share/easy-rsa see below: cd /usr/local/share/easy-rsa The first file to be configured is a vars file a variables file that the easyrsa utility uses. With FreeNAS 11.3 need to consider where the various directories are located. If states Easy-RSA usage and overview the following instruction will apply. Lot of articles refer to previous versions of EasyRSA v2, in FreeNAS 11.3 its packaged version is EasyRSA 3. Next we need to setup a Certificate Authority (CA) used to sign server and client certificates used in an OpenVPN setup, but first we need to configure the easyrsa tool.
Freenas openvpn install#
This will install the openvpn package including easy-rsa tool to allow easy certificate setup. Install openvpn and google-pam-authenticator pkg install -y openvpn pam_google_authenticator
Freenas openvpn update#
Shell into the jail and make sure your packages are up to date pkg update Using WebUI generated a Jail called “openvpn-jail”, when configuring make sure that the allow-tun parameter is checked under the Jail’s Custom Properties before starting the jail see below: In this article the network is 192.168.20.0

Also be careful if you are on a Wifi network that they are using a Network Address different from these VPN network addresses.

With these addresses they must be different from Internal Network Addresses.

This article documents how to setup an OpenVPN server on a FreeNAS Jail, allowing user(s) to be able to access the Freenas UI via the VPN but also other areas of the network where the Freenas server resides.
