We’ll use OpenVPN install script.
Downloading Script
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angristan/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh
chmod +x openvpn-install.sh
Running Script
sudo ./openvpn-install.sh
For IP address, just press enter.
If you wanna use IPV6, you can say y, if you don’t want, you can say n.
In port choice, I recommend using Random.
In Protocol, I recommend UDP. If it’s not available, just use TCP.
Select a DNS to use in your VPN. I recommend Adguard DNS.
In compression, I recommend n.
In encryption settings, I recommend n. Because script is setting a lot of settings already. We don’t need to modify them.
Script will install packages.
We’ll create a client. It can be your PC, phone etc. Give a name for it.
If you wanna use a password, you can select it.
It will create ovpn file in your home directory. We need to download this file to your host machine.
You can use sftp in your host machine.
