OMV setup:
Change the Admin PW - always a good first step
Find your HDDs and mount them
Create a user w/ password
Create “Shared Folder”, mapped to a folder on your HDD
give the new User access to the shares
Enable SMB and add shares
Find Shared Folders in Mac Finder or Windows Explorer
Set-up OpenVPN for remote access
Forward port 1194 in your router for your OMV pi’s IP address
Establish a Static Public IP address for your network, No-ip.com DuckDNS.org or your ISP may give you one.

Install client software on the device you’ll use to connect when away from home
Open the Certificate zip file and drag the .opvn file onto your VPN client Icon
