Run the script and follow the assistant:

wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh

Once it ends, you can run it again to add more users, remove some of them or even completely uninstall OpenVPN.

Extended

This script has been extended to automatically assign a static ip address to a client. All static ip addresses are stored in ccd directory and the ipp.txt file. To use static ip routing follow stpes below

1. Create folder with name ccd where static ip addresses will be stored: mkdir /etc/openvpn/server/ccd
2. Change server.conf configuration file. Add line: client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/server/ccd Remove line: ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt Change subnet mask: server 10.8.0.0 255.255.0.0
3. Run ipPoolMigration.sh script to create static ip addreses for existing users. sudo ./ipPoolMigration.sh
4. Restart openvpn server sudo systemctl restart openvpn-server@server

To add a new client run openvpn-ubuntu-install.sh script. It will automatically give static ip to a client. Don't delete ipp.txt. All ip addresses are stored there.

To add or change static ip manually:

2. Add ifconfig-push {ip} {subnet_mask} command to the file. ex: ifconfig-push 10.8.0.236 255.255.0.0
3. Add profile name and ip address to ipp.txt file in following format: client1,10.8.0.236
