Satori Hoshi-Aiko f417b50be9 Update openvpn-install.sh Thanks to @nyr for the best script. Just added a few touches as a Kali Debian user, as well as the introduction of duplicate-cn in the server.conf This helps to add Kali support (but breaks Pre Debian 9, so be careful. Ideally, We are well past using Debian 8 or lower though, all honesty. We could almost call it deprecated except for the backwards compatibility, so be forewarned. The duplicate-cn in servers.conf is something that should be there anyway, I don't see the average person only wishing to make a single connection without breaking the rest of their connections. If I try to add this to a second device, I can block the original from using the tunnel. While we can create separate tunnels, this one flag is sufficient to allow the multiple connections we need from other locations. Obviously that is bad for IPsec, because anyone that gets ahold of the servers.conf can have open access to your server of linux host. That is the case anyway, so you really don't want to let your .ovpn get out of your hands. Adding multiple connection effectively broadens the ability for this leaks to become threatening. Personally, I trust how I store this information, and handle it very carefully, where it isn't already well place in the /root directory anyway. I transfer the .ovpn over an SFTP tunnel, and store it on an encrypted drive in case I need it later. Absolutely wonderful to have this script!! I am able to use this server's IP address and tunnel other servers' outbound traffic while also use the same VPN at home. I don't pay for a VPN anymore, but being able to use it and also re-use it simultaneously is, well, amazing. MY server is a 64GB RAM 12 CPU, and is now my beautiful security OS (Kali, with a lot of custom fireballing, etc) and I can traffic all my connection to my 'work' IP address when desired. This script worked well in comparison to some other examples I tried. I can install it on a VPN router and select devices to traffic to work. And my other server also can reuse it, to proxy one server connection as another, while still being able to have the VPN at home on our router. I hope these changes were helpful. @SatoriHoshiAiko	2022-09-29 08:29:23 +01:00

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.
