It isn't good idea to mount nfs over openvpn. Both are highly unstable.
You should try openssh and it's simple tunnel and ftp over it or any other
networked file system. If you really need to use nfs set it to use tcp.

Hello!
I am having difficulties in setting up nfs with my laptop. I have an openvpn
server running at home that can be reached via dynamic dns from the "outside
world". Now i would like to mount my nfs exports from everywhere I am. These
exports are only available in the vpn subnet (10.8.0.*).
There are basically three scenarios (all via net.wlan0):
1. Home:
- Direct connection to the openvpn server with a static private IP adress
(192.168.1.xxx)
- ESSID is fixed (e.g. "home")
- The openvpn service can be started via "/etc/init.d/openvpn.home start" (it
is properly configured via /etc/openvpn/home.conf
- After that net.tap0 can be started and gets an ip adress inside the vpn
(e.g. 10.8.0.100) if i have the following in /etc/conf.d/net:
config_tap0=( "dhcp" )
mac_tap0="00:FF:22:33:44:55"
RC_NEED_tap0="openvpn.home"
2. Remote:
- Connection via internet
- This time the openvpn service has to be started
via "/etc/init.d/openvpn.remote start" (because the config for that resides
in /etc/openvpn/remote.conf)
- You see that i have to change a line in /etc/conf.d/net to get things to
work:
config_tap0=( "dhcp" )
mac_tap0="00:FF:22:33:44:55"
RC_NEED_tap0="openvpn.remote"
Question is: Can I avoid changing these lines everytime I travel around?
3. Remote via vpnc:
- Connection via internet (so openvpn.remote has to be used)
- ESSID fixed (e.g. "unibi")
- Additionally: The vpnc service (/etc/init.d/vpnc.uni) has to be active
Second question: Can I start the vpnc service by knowing the ESSID of my
wireless network, and if I can: how?
Thanks for your time
Patrick
