A plug-and-play OpenVPN server that "Just Works" and has secure defaults. Install the snap, download the client config and connect! * Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 with secure encryption and DDoS protection. * Defaults to a fast udp connection. If that is blocked, clients will fall back to a more covert tcp connection that mimicks HTTPS. * Generates `.ovpn` client config files that work on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. **Getting Started** 1. Install the snap on the server. `sudo snap install easy-openvpn-server` 2. Export the client config. `sudo easy-openvpn-server show-client default > default.ovpn` 3. Import the `.ovpn` config file into the VPN application of your device and connect! By default, all the traffic of your device will go over the VPN. If you don't want this, run `sudo snap set easy-openvpn-server push-default-gateway=False`. **Changing the public address** The snap will do its best to figure out what the public address of the server is. However, when that fails, you can manually set the public address. `sudo snap set easy-openvpn-server public-address=example.com` **Managing clients** The snap automatically creates a client profile and config with the name `default`. However, it's recommended to create a separate client profile for each user. This way, you can revoke the client profile when that user does not need access to the VPN anymore. `sudo easy-openvpn-server add-client alice` `sudo easy-openvpn-server show-client alice > alice.ovpn` `sudo easy-openvpn-server remove-client alice` **Changing ports** By default the server runs on port 443/tcp (https) and 1194/udp (OpenVPN). If those ports are already used, you can change which ports the server runs on. `sudo snap set easy-openvpn-server udp-server.port=1234` `sudo snap set easy-openvpn-server tcp-server.port=80` **More options** You can specify additional search domains. `sudo snap set easy-openvpn-server additional-search-domains="test"` --- ## Install Easy OpenVPN Server on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
