Re: OpenVPN client auth-user-pass not working

Why don’t you strip the password from the key file? (With an OpenSSL command)
Doesn’t make any difference, security-wise.

Re: Raspbios and WiFi Access Point

The colloquial name is Raspios (raspi-O.S.) not something-BIOS. Bios is a PC thing, not applicable here. The first link makes no sense at all. The author configures both wpa_supplicant and hostapd and apparently expects them to work both at the same time on the same interface. I suggest you follow t...

Re: System updates, no space available on micro sd card

Try the Raspberry Pi Imager program, that will install raspbian (now raspios), not noobs.

If that fails check that SD card of yours, or try using another one.

Re: Cron to shutoff wlan0 @reboot.

Which OS is that?

Don't use sudo in a crontab. Sudo is an interactive command.

On raspios a better way would be to configure /etc/dhcpcd.conf to enable/disable processing of network interfaces. E.g. "denyinterfaces wlan0" at the beginning of that file.

Re: Starting a docker container in Pi4 make IO too slow.

In my experience Docker runs perfectly well on Pi3b.
I haven’t used it much on Raspios and neither on Pi 4 but I doubt that makes much a difference.

Once you’re installed docker engine and rebooted look at the network and firewall configuration on the Pi. If things go wrong/slow it’s likely there.

Re: Configure the RPi as a Local Network Access Point (wired and wireless)

Ah yes I was wrong, 2 MACs and 3IPs.
In dnsmasq you can set "log-dhcp" and you'll get details regarding lease negociation in /var/log/syslog
That device seems to request 2 addresses, no idea why. The "problem" (if it is one) is on the device side, not the server.

Curiously the MAC address on the Pi for 192.168.0.1 does not match the one PC report for that address. Download a copy of raspios, install and see if PCs ping the Pi 4 ok. If not, check your PCs and the router. If yes, verify your network setup on the octopi image. (The MAC address for 192.168.0.1 a...

Confirm your findings on a pristine copy of Raspbian OS.
Install it as per the documentation.
There are many software reasons for which the wifi interface could not be found.

No, you have to use an openvpn client to test. Otherwise TLS fails very early. There is a management console in openvpn that apparently accepts telnet. Never used that.

Re: Access Point Routed - Issue with MASQUERADE and question about documented procedure

Your firewall was/is not in the standard configuration.
Standard configuration in raspios is policy ACCEPT on filtering, which would make your additions redundant.

If your system includes filtering rules already you need to adapt the guide to your situation.
