OpenVpn configuration

Question

I am trying to configure openvpn for ubuntu 14.04 I followed the instructions from https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html. According to the instruction i must download easyrsa separately and initialze PKI in the easy-rsa subdirectory.

. ./vars
./clean-all
./build-ca

I'm lost in these steps.

Answer 1

you should edit the floder write permission. sudo chmod +x openvpn

Answer 2

You need to first install easy-rsa with this command:

sudo apt-get install easy-rsa

I suggest then moving asy rsa intoyour openvpn directory:

cp -r /usr/share/easy-rsa/ /etc/openvpn

Then create a directory for the keys:

mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys

Then you can run:

cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa

source ./vars

./clean-all

./build-ca

Answer 3

you can use this script to easily install and configure openvpn on your server with a single command

wget git.io/vpn --no-check-certificate -O openvpn-install.sh; bash openvpn-install.sh
