OpenVPN uses the /etc/openvpn folder and this is where we create a new folder called “easy-rsa”. Now we have to configure our CA (Certificate Authority) and generate some keys: sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ OpenVPN is in the default repositories so that’s easy enough. Let’s instal openvpn: sudo apt-get install openvpn First I will show you how to configure the server and then the client, in my example I’m using Ubuntu 12.04 but you should be able to do this on any linux distribution. The configuration will be pretty straight forward and will be a great starting point for more complex openvpn configurations. In this lesson I’m going to show you how to configure OpenVPN server using username / password authentication on the client.
