1.) No the netFIELD OnPremise can be ordered without any subscription. You can operate totally indenepdent of netfield cloud usage. So you can manage it using a standard Linux terminal console over SSH or via the web UI pages. Using the option netfield and cloud management can be ordered separately and is an addtional function. The two gateways netFIELD Connect and netFIELD OnPremise both have two Docker engines perinstalled. On Docker instance we call "local" and can be managed via terminal console. This one is active in both devices by default and you are free to use it with any Docker container you want. The second Docker instance is deactivated and sleeping until you book a netfield subscription additonal. Then this Docker instance can be controlled from remote over netfield internet platform. But this is just an option. If you don't like it it keeps "sleeping".
2.) No there is no other software in charge for an OpenVPN connection. In new netFIELD OS 2.2 the command line (CLI) program openvpn comes preinstalled right away for a direct use. You can reach this command like all other Linux commands using a terminal console over an SSH connection or alternatively over the device web-UI site (embedded terminal).
3.) OpenVPN is a community developed service. We have just embedded it as command into the latest netFIELD OS 2.2 version as it is. The OpenVPN project and the CLI command openvpn is well documented by the OpenVPN organization. It does not make sense to document this CLI command and its parametes once again on any Hilscher web site. Here is for example one of the official Internet pages explaining the command line: https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources...ith-linux/
Today I tried to establish a VPN connection to my VPN server at home. It works immediately and I was able to ping all my home network devices via the netFIELD Connect or netFIELD OnPremise gateway after I have established the connection. The command line I was calling was quite simple: openvpn --config arminhomserver.ovpn.
The *.ovpn file is a common configuration file I generated on my OpenVPN server. It contains the internet name of my server, used ports for the connections and the most important point certificiates. Of course there are a lot of other parameters that can be added to the config file which I don't know. But in the end with such a very simple setup I was able to establish an OpenVPN connection to my homeserver in 5 minutes.
Thx
Armin
Dear Armin,
ok we will try testing.
1] Do we need any changes to be done into office internet router ?
2] As per my earlier communication with Dominik, It mentions about netfield remote proxy software, but i could not found this software anywhere?
