Ubuntu server Vpn setup?

Run this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install openvpn

Create a text file somewhere with this text inside it:

client

dev tun0

proto udp

remote vpn.server.address.com

resolv-retry infinite

nobind

ca /path/to/ca.pem

auth-user-pass

Replace "vpn.server.address.com" with the address your VPN provider gives you

Replace "/path/to/ca.pem" with the path to the certificate file your VPN provider should give you. If you don't have one, you might be able to make this work by removing that line. When I tried, that line was required.

Save the file and remember where you saved it.

Now run: sudo openvpn --config /path/to/the/file/you/saved

I have tested this and I can confirm that it works with my VPN provider.

If you are having issues, you could try changing "proto udp" to "proto tcp" because some routers or firewalls will not allow the UDP protocol to work without additional setup.

NOTE: This setup will only work for OpenVPN servers. Another common protocol is PPTP, but it is far less secure due to the encryption method it uses.

I hope this helps.
