first of all 10.x.x.x is local network so you will unable VNC to such IP out of your network. you need use public IP for incoming connections
once connected to VPN router will have VPN public IP and will share it to all ports.
you can add custom rule for port forwarding

something like
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp --dport PORT -j DNAT --to-destination xx.xx.xx.xx
xx.xx.xx.xx – Local PC IP
PORT – needable port to route

I cannot rdp the vpn client ip address :3389
10.10.0.12:3389
try to rdp from the remote location
my router has 4 port
wrt-54gs with tomato 2.8
looks like all 4 port on router sharing the same vpn address 10.10.0.12
any idea to connect to the rdp port behind tomato router from other cmputer which is connected to the same vpn server.

Hi James,

Did you ever get openvpn working on Tomato? I’m trying to do the same…I keep getting:

Jan 1 02:48:37 unknown daemon.notice openvpn[4499]: UDPv4 link remote: 64.64.131.118:1194
Jan 1 02:48:37 unknown daemon.err openvpn[4499]: read UDPv4 [ECONNREFUSED]: Connection refused (code=146)

Sounds like you got a little further since you were seeing username/passwd errors.
Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Thank you,
Baher

@Marco,

You are indeed a champion!! After struggling with the VPN issue for many hours I found this post. I did exactly as you mentioned. The only thing I had to alter was … remove txt after mss fix 1450

“script-security 2
up “/tmp/ovpn/up”
down “/tmp/ovpn/dn”…
before

Thank you once again. :p

Cheers -n 0Ne happy Aussie

Is there a way to disable the ‘nobind’ statement that Tomato generates into the config? I need to be able to specify a local outgoing port which is in-conflict with ‘nobind’.

First of all very thanks! I did it by the letter and got a connection but no internet access at all, I can’t even ping an address through the ping tool of Tomato. Any ideas?

Thanks for the tutorial. I am setting up an OpenVPN client connection for HMA!VPN on Tomato, and have been using this tutorial as a general guide (realizing it was written for StrongVPN). I did not see instructions for entering your username and password. My log file has “unknown user” errors in it which makes sense, since I didn’t enter any. Can you tell me where in the Tomato configuration I would enter my VPN username and password?
Thanks.
JK

Just adding some info that was incomplete on my previous post, I think server and port must be configured on the basic vpn client configuration menu.
