Your name you have given has no version. So you have to add a version to the name “openvpn-as’ I think. If you don’t Docker will always use the version “:latest” and it seems not to exist

No your router do not need to support VPN. Your netPI is the VPN-Server. But what you need on your router is to configure port forwarding. The external VPN port coming from the internet needs to be forwarded to netPI IP address and hence to the installed VPN server.
Also when Open VPN server is running good on netPI it has a web interface to access and you can generate certificate for your Open VPN client.
Thx

I tried to connect netPi to OpenVPN application and web access but not able to connect, here i attached my OpenVPN-as docker container setting screenshot in excel, port forwarding done in the router attached screenshot, could you please help me.
Well before trying to connect to netPI VPN server over a router you should first connect to netPI VPN server via local network. By this method you can check fist of all if the VPN server in netPI works well.
So download the OpenVPN connect Windows application from here https://openvpn.net/client-connect-vpn-for-windows/ to your workstation and install it. Then install OpenVPN certificate coming from netPI VPN server into windows application and press connect button. If everything works well, you know that netPI VPN server works well.
Only after this has been executed you can then configure the router and access from external over the internet ... but first a local check needs to be done.

Hello Armin,
My docker OpenVPN container configured correctly? please confirm me.
From where and how can I get an OpenVPN certificate from NetPI hardware VPN Server? from any directory or else.
what will be the user name and password of netPi to connect in OpenVPN connect application? same as accessing in putty or else.
meanwhile I have doubts that this container can run on ARM CPU based device like Raspberry or netPI. If I read more details on the container readme I see it is only running on x86 CPUs and not on ARM CPUs.
We cannot use this container.
