How to set up OpenVPN in Ubuntu?
To set up an OpenVPN server in Ubuntu, you can follow these steps:
- Update your system
Run these commands to ensure your system is up-to-date:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
- Download the installation script
Use this script to automate the setup:
wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh
chmod +x openvpn-install.sh
- Run the script
Execute the script with root privileges:
sudo ./openvpn-install.sh
- Select UDP (recommended).
- Keep the default port (1194).
- Choose a DNS provider (e.g., Cloudflare or Google).
- Name your client (e.g., myvpn).
- Finish setup
The script generates a .ovpn client file (e.g., /root/myvpn.ovpn). Transfer this file to your devices to connect to the VPN.
- Manage the service
Start/Stop OpenVPN:
sudo systemctl start openvpn-server@server.service
sudo systemctl stop openvpn-server@server.service
Check status:
sudo systemctl status openvpn-server@server.service
