1. (Optional) Create jail

If you want OpenVPN to run in a jail, you must first create one. If you already have jail, or don't want to use it go to step 2.
Go to the FreeNAS GUI. In the menu, click on Jail -> Add Jail. Enter ovpn as the name for the jail.

2. Enable SSH

In the menu, click on Services. Make sure SSH is On. In the left menu, click on Services -> SSH. Make sure you allow password login for root.

3. SSH to the NAS

Use a SSH client to SSH to your NAS. If you're on Windows, we suggest Putty. If you're on OS X or Linux, use the terminal.

4. Enter the jail (if created)

If you're using a jail, we now need to enter it. Write:

jls

Locate the JID for the jail you want. The name for the jail is under the Hostname column.

jexec REPLACE WITH THE JID tcsh

5. Download components

 pkg update && pkg upgrade && pkg install bash openvpn unzip curl

6. Exit and re-enter jail (if created)

exit

jexec REPLACE WITH THE JID tcsh

7. Enable auto start

echo 'openvpn_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf<br>echo 'openvpn_configfile="/usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf"' >> /etc/rc.conf

8. Download the configuration you want

You need to be logged in to the members area and download generate the key files and the configuration files. Members area

9. Enter your login credentials

echo "CHANGE TO YOUR PASSWORD" >> /usr/local/etc/openvpn/credentials 
echo "askpass /usr/local/etc/openvpn/credentials" >> /usr/local/etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf

10. Start OpenVPN and see that everything works

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/openvpn start

11. Verify that the connection was successful

Wait about 30 seconds and then run:

curl https://ipinfo.io

You should see something like:

{
  "ip": "168.1.66.228",
  "hostname": "e4.42.01a8.ip4.static.sl-reverse.com",
  "city": "Melbourne",
  "region": "Victoria",
  "country": "AU",
  "loc": "-37.8103,144.9544",
  "org": "AS36351 SoftLayer Technologies Inc.",
  "postal": "3000"
}

12. Done
