When we want to add a OpenVPN server, the hostname field only accepts IP address, not domain name. Can you change the field rules so we can fill domain names too?

Hi all,

OVPN FQDN has been scheduled to V5.15 and its adapted firmware.

 

Please note that this will involve an adapted firmware, not just a controller update. Firmware development is a complex process, and timelines may change. Therefore, we cannot provide a specific release date at this time. Please stay tuned to future firmware release notes for updates.

When introducing a feature like this, we typically apply it uniformly across all models to ensure consistency and a seamless user experience.

 

However, it's essential to acknowledge that hardware limitations may exist, which might prevent us from adding the feature to certain models. In such cases, we cannot provide individual notifications explaining the reason. Please note that we cannot guarantee the fulfillment of all requests, and we must set clear expectations upfront.

Hi @phongtom

Thanks for your valuable feedback and post here. This request has been forwarded to the developer team for further evaluation.

You can subscribe to the firmware release thread which is pinned on the related page. Or pay attention to our official website where most releases will show up there very soon.

As a reminder, any request will be evaluated by our developer team before it is officially added to the roadmap. That may take some time before you see a release with this feature. If your requested feature is not on high priority or not reported by many people, it may be delayed for more feedback.
(This is not a guarantee that your requested feature will be implemented. Only requests passed the evaluation can be added to the roadmap.)

ip often is not an option... so ddns (hostname) is used instead.

if you get the domain name from the opvn file, ping the domain and then you can get the IP, the port is listed next to the domain on the .opvn file, but yes, domain would be. awesome!

  @TheYam of course it's very easy to get an IP from the domain name by pinging it. But when they change the IP you will lose the connection and you have do do it again.

I setup OpenVPN server on a QNAP NAS and used ER605 as OpenVPN client, it worked very well, the only problem is having to update the Server IP manually every time my IP changes. I use Dynamic DNS, unfortunately ER605 doesn’t not accept host names, only numeric IP addresses.
