Update: I ended up factory resetting under settings. This as fix most my issues, VPN is now working. But Portainer has failed top start due to admin password file missing.

Glad VPN got sorted by the factory reset. The Portainer 'admin password file missing' after factory-reset is a known class-level bug we just shipped v1.6.82 to fix — root cause was that the script's Portainer self-heal silently half-failed if sparkbox up was invoked without sudo on the post-reset re-up. Recovery now (works on whatever version you're on): sudo rm -f /opt/sparkbox/modules/core/config/portainer-admin-password sudo /opt/sparkbox/sparkbox up Wait ~30s, then sudo cat /opt/sparkbox/state/portainer-admin-password.txt — that's your admin login at http://NAS-IP:9000. Then sudo sparkbox update to pull v1.6.82 so the next time something goes sideways the script gives you a clear error up front instead of a quiet half-recovery.

Followup — shipped v1.6.82 with the fix for the Portainer-after-factory-reset issue specifically. The script's regen block was silently half-failing whenever it couldn't write to /opt/sparkbox; now it errors loudly up front with a clear sudo hint. sudo sparkbox update, then if Portainer's still stuck, the recovery is sudo rm -f /opt/sparkbox/modules/core/config/portainer-admin-password && sudo sparkbox up. Wait ~30s and sudo cat /opt/sparkbox/state/portainer-admin-password.txt for the new admin login.
