I’m running an OpenVPN server on my router. When I open a VPN tunnel to my home network, I can access every device normally. I can even access the files on the PR4100. However, when I type in the IP address for the administrator dashboard, it tells me access forbidden. I am by no means a VPN expert but this is really confusing me. Since my VPN is router based, I assumed that the PR4100 would see me as a local network user. Everything else does. Can anyone help me fix it?

The apache2 webserver serving the admin interface restricts access to the local LAN.
Here’s how to remove that restriction
You’ll need to run those commands on every reboot (e.g. with cron).
One option would be to enable Remote Dashboard access.
Enable Dashboard Cloud Access
Follow the steps below to enable remote access to your My Cloud Dashboard.
- Log in to the My Cloud Dashboard
- Click Settings
- Click General
- Turn ON Dashboard Cloud Access
- Review the information in the screen and Click OK
Error 403 Forbidden When Accessing My Cloud Dashboard
I have the same problem with my PR4100; a 403-error. There is no “Dashboard Cloud Access” present on the Settings > General page, so I cannot turn that on or off.
Editing the /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf to AllowAny (require ip 1.2.3 subnet) doesn’t work either.
Any hints?
