OpenVPN on ReadyNas Raidiator 6.10.8
Hello all, I'm running a ReadyNAS Pioneer Pro that I've done the CPU + RAM upgrade, as well as upgradeing to Raidiator 6.10.8. All is working fine. I'm trying to get my VPN running on the NAS. I pre...
apt-get update will not harm the NAS. It simply updates the list of available packages. apt-get upgrade, on the other hand, is not something you want to do. It will install newer versions of some of the base Debian packages used by the OS, which will likely include incompatible ones.
You were right to abort, however, as you do not want to uninstall any of the listed packages: mdadm nut nut-server nut-snmp systemd systemd-sysv udev. You may need an earlier version of OpenVPN, but I don't know which one since I've not used it in years.
While I do use OpenVPN, it is installed in my router, so not on the NAS.
So maybe
- check if your router has the service built in already (Netgear Orbi and Nighthawk routers do)
- if not, look into ZeroTier, which can be installed on the NAS.
