Synology OpenVPN - Stepulin/general GitHub Wiki

To see log, you need to log as root.

Since I am having my own accout (e. g. john) set as admin (or with admin privilages if you want to), you have to do following:

  1. enable SSH in admin GUI

  2. use PuTTY or terminal if you are on Mac or Linux

  3. insert IP of your NAS

  4. log in

  5. type: sudo -i

  6. reenter your password and then you should be able to see the log by running next command

  7. cat /var/log/messages

Synology as OpenVPN CLIENT

It will not connect and in log you will find something as: failed to find GID for group nogroup

You have to change following line in client config:

group nogroup -> group nobody

Some people say that they had to adjust it even into the server conf, but that did not work for me.
