Is it a good practice to run the OpenVPN server on my local machine and then connect from the same machine?

[@keinaelphilemon7304]

Thanks ! Thanks x2 !

[@josemaenzo]

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot.

[@shitpostgang3007]

Thanks! Great tutorial.

[@Roottech25]

to kind of understand the this tutorial you have to have a bit of knowledge of networking and linux combined. Even if is just in the terminal. It contains lots of good information on network and Linux. Hope you found it useful... thanks

So my self hosted box is not working. On my client i get the error "peer certificate verification failure" I even removed my cert and added a new one and it is still not working.

i have some problem when i want to copy openvpn-client.ovpn to my pc

[@joaoalves7656]

Me too

[@rodcosta290]

i guess you dont need this now, but you need to have an ssh server in your ovpn server, and enable port forwarding on your router

[@SupremeGlory]

clean and easy. thank you.

[@arcenme]

The system does not have the TUN device available. TUN needs to be enabled before running this installer. How to solve this problem ? Thanks

if u are in windows, i suggest to reinstall the openvpn client

Is there a script that sets up the server in client-server mode? Thanks

Hello there. I sent the ovpn file to my android phone to import it on the openvpn app to connect to my server but It didn't work. Is the process of creating the ovpn file different if you want to use it on android? Thanks!

[@sidharthv]

Awesome tutorial. I got it done in less than 5 minutes. I had to install net tools and ufw, somehow managed all that, used winscp to get the ovpn file and added it to my android phone and boom! Working. Thank you.

[@IntenseTech]

Hi there! So really good video... BUT! some constructive thoughts here... I'd suggest 2 things... 1) if you can, I would edit out when you mistype netstat... that's kinda a waste of time ;) 2) around 10:31... when you talk about the windows config area in the systray.. no one can see what you are talking about - because the video of your face is covering that area. Perhaps redo that part and move your face square thing to a different area. But all in all - very helpful! Thanks!

How do I connect to a remote server? So how do I connect if the server and client are only connected by the public internet?

[@janulik9535]

Hi, hopefully the topic is not forgotten after that much time, ...I have a question here. I assume the server setup requires public IP adsress in order to be able to conect to it from remote clients. I do not have static above the server, is there a way how to omit this and use for example domain which is being updated with ddns. Is that save solution?

[@ironwolf3699]

What happens if my public ip changes? Does openvpn automatically switch to the new one, or do I have to switch to it manually?

Cool script! May I ask: in the script line 259 - DH parameters. Is it ok to have this in a public file? Shall we generate somehow our own DH parameters?

[@roathkanel]

Thank you for your video. It is very clear to understand and I learn a lot from your video such as concept as well as some new command line.

[@Levich1]

So should I use a public IP of my router or local IP of RassberyPi which I'm installing openvpn onto?

[@HirenMistryhirenhcm]

I was able to setup OpenVPN on Ubuntu in AWS. I am also able to connect to the server. However, the speed is very slow.

[@vladtheimpala218]

WinSCP is nice, but wouldn't cat work faster? ssh to server cat the filename.ovpn select content and copy in terminal [ctrl+c] paste in notepad [on windows] and save filename.ovpn

Which one IP public that will be used static or dinamic?

This was a great video, thank you. Gracias mi Hermano. I am installing this on Unbutu running in virtual box on my macOS server. I ran into one issue which was" scp /home/username/openvpn-client.ovpn: No such file or directory". This stumped me. I need help with just this one piece. Other than that, I installed network-manager and all was well the rest of the way. If you don't mind contacting me about this one area, I would not mind at all buying a coffee for you. We could connect on zoom, but I need to make sure that I'm onsite with the server I've built ubuntu on to complete the task. I can provide my email address when you are ready. Mil Gracias. -educapro * I wish other tutorials were as thorough and user-friendly as yours. I find the OpenVPN documentation in some parts very confusing. No straight forward instructions with step by step as you've done here. I want to ask them, what's the big secret, just explain with clarity and use Audio to accompany your video demonstrations. So weird their videos without audio. ** Since no one's taken the time to be as thorough and build a video to install and connect OpenVPN on the macOS platform, I may be the first to do it. This is a necessary tool for Mac Enterprise Environments. Would love to collaborate with you and make it happen. I can share more of what the similarities are between Mac and Windows so it won't seem intimidating to others wanting to set up the Mac.
