openvpn-install

OpenVPN road warrior installer for Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS and Fedora.

This script will let you set up your own VPN server in no more than a minute, even if you haven't used OpenVPN before. It has been designed to be as unobtrusive and universal as possible.

Installation

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.

I want to run my own VPN but don't have a server for that

You can get a VPS from just 2€/month at AlphaVPS.

Create/disable another user

bash openvpn-install.sh

Make ccd and make a file named as the client username (change 10.10.0.101 to the ip you want to assgin to the client)

sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/ccd

sudo echo "ifconfig-push 10.10.0.101 255.255.255.0" >/etc/openvon/ccd/client

Install client on ubuntu server

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openvpn

Copy .ovpn to the target machine

sudo service openvpn@client start

Some change made in the code, no action needed below:

partial routing (if do not want redirect all traffic to the vpn server. If you have a machine that host public app e.g. website server, you will need this setting.)

in the client side edit .ovpn add

route-nopull
route 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0

make a file

nopull.txt

route-nopull
route 10.10.0.0 255.255.255.0

another file norouting.bash

sed -i '/verb 3/r nopuul.txt' $1`

then you can add the setting to the usercofig with

bash norouting.bash <USERNAME>.ovpn

or on the vpn server side remove redirect-gateway def1

Client settings

set ip and enable communication between clients in /etc/openvpn/server/server.conf

client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/ccd
client-to-client
