<Guide> EX2 and OpenVPN

Hi guys, I thought I’d spare you the misery and headache for trying to access your precious files over the internet via WD My Cloud app. Most of us spent hours trying to make it work with their “easy” WD software, but either it is Portforwarding or Relay, it just doesn’t work.

The main reason I got this NAS is that it wasn’t too expensive and the full GPL source code was available.
