It would help to have more information. I assume you want to connect with a GNU/Linux client from outside your home network to your FreedomBox, which is connected to your home router. I also assume the home router is NATing.
- Can you
ping6
the IPv6 address of your router form outside? (don’t use the hostname to make sure it’s not a DNS problem) - Can you reach the port that you forwarded on your router? (e.g.
nc -vz <host> <port>
) - Does that connection reach your FreedomBox? (e.g.
tcpdump
) - What does the OpenVPN log on both machines say? (
journalctl -u NetworkManager
)
