vpn bos client

Matthias 2 weeks ago in bOS Client updated by Ricardo Pinto | visiontech pt 4 days ago 4

Hello, has anybody experience with access to the bos client from outside my local wifi with a VPN on my mobile device. Somehow the bos client is not booting up when i am outside my wifi. Even though it works perfectly with other apps like home assistant.

Would be awesome if bOS also supported Zerotier VPN as its free for home users and quite easy to use. I know that HA supports it and it worked well with it. I've also tested Wireguard but that was done with Mikrotik routers in my tests - also had no problems with it.

I'm regularly connecting using Wireguard with no issue. Is your server connected on the same network ? Are you trying to connect your client with the internal network IP ?

Yes, i think the server is connected. I am not sure, about the internal network IP. But shouldn't it work automatically. I mean, the IP adresses should be of my internal network, when i am tunneling into it with the VPN. And it works with home assistant. What i find interesting is, that i can use comfort click from outside my private network, when the comfort click app is still opened and when i opened it, when i was in my private network

Hello,

If it works with other devices, it has to work with ComfortClick...

If you're using VPN, I assume that you're not using Access ID, so basically your profile is manually configured, with the local IP address, username and password.

Can you check if using the local IP address, both on "Local Address" and "Public Address" works?

If you leave Public Address empty, and you're using for example Cellular Data to connect to the bOS via VPN, I think that the app never tries to use the local IP, but I might be wrong.

So in case, edit your profile on the app, and place the local IP on both fields and tell us if it works via VPN.
