Tutorial: Set the Interface and Ports for the OpenVPN Daemons⁠

Overview⁠

The OpenVPN daemons manage OpenVPN tunnel connections. By default, they listen on all available network interfaces, using UDP port 1194 and TCP port 443. You can customize these settings via the Admin Web UI or command-line interface (CLI).

Connect to the console and get root privileges.

Use the commands below to make your changes:

Set the interface name that the OpenVPN daemons should listen on:

sacli --key "vpn.daemon.0.server.ip_address" --value <INTERFACE> ConfigPut
sacli --key "vpn.daemon.0.listen.ip_address" --value <INTERFACE> ConfigPut
sacli start

Set a specific port for the UDP OpenVPN daemon:

sacli --key "vpn.server.daemon.udp.port" --value <PORT_NUMBER> ConfigPut
sacli start

Set a specific port for the TCP OpenVPN daemon:

sacli --key "vpn.server.daemon.tcp.port" --value <PORT_NUMBER> ConfigPut
sacli start

Restore default settings:

sacli --key "vpn.daemon.0.server.ip_address" --value "all" ConfigPut
sacli --key "vpn.daemon.0.listen.ip_address" --value "all" ConfigPut
sacli --key "vpn.server.daemon.udp.port" --value "1194" ConfigPut
sacli --key "vpn.server.daemon.tcp.port" --value "443" ConfigPut
sacli start
