HowTO run openVPN client in Cobia

[eiuep]

Hello,
I have been using Core for several years and just jumped in Scale - Cobia

I understood OpenVPN servers and client services were deprecated in Scale

Migrate Core Services to Cobia

SCALE Bluefin deprecates and Cobia removes the built-in DDNS, OpenVPN server and client, rsync, S3, and TFTP service. The WebDAV service and share feature are also deprecated in Bluefin and removed in Cobia. New applications are available in Bluefin to serve as replacements for the functions...

I have an OpenVPN server I would like to connect to access the NAS ( I don't have public IP since under NAT of mobile networks) from the web

Can anyone give me suggestions to have the Cobia connected to OpenVPN server?

Thanks for your reply

If you scroll down this page, you can find a Migrating from OpenVPN service section, the OpenVPN service is not replaced with an app.

Hi, Thanks for your reply

For sure I did save all the data about certificates and OpenVPN configuration before upgrading
from Core to Cobia.
Now the problem is that there is no OpenVPN client service embedded in Cobia, because it is said
to be supported by App but .... I couldn't find any app from iXsystem repository nor in TrueCharts that supports
OpenVPN connection to server so I feel disappointed.

If I am wrong please give me suggestions just to solve this issue.
Hopefully I am wrong but so far I feel not crystal releasing Cobia removing OpenVPN and at same
time having pools not backward compatible to downgrade to any Scale release having OpenVPN service enabled.

Other people suffer this issue.

I installed WG Easy but this is a VPN server, not a client for OpenVPN

Truecharts apps can use openvpn connections via their gluetun addon
See https://truecharts.org/manual/SCALE/guides/vpn-setup/
