VPN Connection Guidelines

All devices must be connected to the VPN to access the OASEES infrastructure.

Requirements

VPN must run on ALL devices, including the machine with the browser used to access the portal.

Connecting to VPN

Run OpenVPN with your configuration file in daemon mode:

sudo openvpn --config path_to_ovpn_file --daemon

This will run the VPN connection in the background.

Verify Connection

Confirm network connection with NCSRD premises:

ping <BLOCKCHAIN_IP>

You should receive responses if the connection is successful.

Troubleshooting

If you cannot reach <BLOCKCHAIN_IP>:

  1. Check that the VPN daemon is running
  2. Verify your .ovpn configuration file path is correct
  3. Check firewall settings
  4. Ensure you have proper VPN credentials
