      i am using owncloud on nas4free and smb

      on pfsense (options on wizard local user access/ldap or radius)

      on pfsense I understand Local User Access is for user who access locally but to allow remote access outside of my network which shouid I use LDAP or Radius? am I right?

        "local user access/ldap or radius)"

        Really dude???  Do you have ldap or radius for your users to auth too?

        So you want to access smb across the public internet.. Yeah good luck with that ;)

            Its a user you create on pfsense, so that this user can access your vpn, etc.

              Are you sure this is not over-your-head at the moment? Start small, tinker with your setup and get used to how pfSense works. Then you can configure it reasonably without shooting yourself in the foot.
              Put "learn OpenVPN configuration" on your to-do list as well.

                I am looking a guide to do configure a DVR behind pfsense?

                I tried several attempts port forward but no luck.

                I am now trying to build a openVPN but i have few questions.

                1.) I have static public ip where should I put that static IP? though already configured on WAN
                2.) should I need to port forward even in openVPN?

                how I am going to access DVR remotely?
                Thanks in advance

                  1. you wouldn't put it anywhere in openvpn..
                  2. No

                  You would access your dvr via its fqdn you resolve once you have connected to your vpn or via its IP address.

                    what wrong i am doing?

                    still can not access nas4free from remote login.
                    ?

                      And do you have any firewall on your nas4free device that would limit access to the local network.  And now your coming from your vpn network.

                      Can you ping the pfsense IP on the lan interface your nas4free is connected too?  Do a traceroute from your vpnclient to the nas4free IP do you see the trace go down your tunnel?  Did you place any firewall rules on your vpn connection..

                            From the NAS4Free release notes:

                            Login error 403
                            Do you have WebGUI Login error 403? Make shure the pc is in the same network! by default the System|General Setup Hosts allow field is empty so any one on the same network of LAN interface can access the WebGUI allowed. With a space delimited set of IP or CIDR notation you can add computers from outer network. As an example the outer IP address and LAN address for remote access.

                                  Do you get the 403 error.. Then biggsy already pointed you to the problem..

                                  As to your traceroute.. you got something wrong there..  Do the traceroute to the IP you can ping?

                                  Here is a normal traceroute through a vpn tunnel

                                  
                                  C:\>tracert -d 192.168.9.100
                                  
                                  Tracing route to 192.168.9.100 over a maximum of 30 hops
                                  
                                    1    93 ms    92 ms    96 ms  10.0.8.1
                                    2   105 ms   100 ms    97 ms  192.168.9.100
                                  
                                  Trace complete.
                                  
                                  

                                  I hit the end of the tunnel (pfsense) then I hit the client.

                                  What network behind pfsense, your local network.  What is your tunnel network, what is the local network your on when your connecting into the vpn.

                                  So for example my box I am on now is

                                  Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

                                  Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : snipped.com

                                  My vpn interface
                                  Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:

                                  Here is my route table when connected to vpn

                                        Well this says vpn is working

                                        C:>tracert -d 192.168.0.137

                                        So your issue is on your nas box – most likely the firewall as already pointed out multiple times!

                                            @irs:

                                            NAS4FREE 192.168.0.250 port 12000

                                            In the very first post of the thread you say that the NAS4Free is on the OPT1 interface.

                                            Now you're saying NAS4Free have the address 192.168.0.250.

                                            Have you moved the NAS4Free to the LAN interface now?
