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. `(umask 077; 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` `(umask 077; 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"` **Firewall** VPN clients can't reach the cloud metadata service of the server, because it hands out the server's cloud credentials. By default, VPN clients also can't reach each other. If you want them to, run `sudo snap set easy-openvpn-server firewall.client-to-client=true` **Client-specific rules and access policies** You can give individual clients specific policies by creating a file with the name of that client in the following directory. `/var/snap/easy-openvpn-server/common/ccd/` For example, if you want the client `sysadmin` to always have the IP `10.8.1.1`, then add the following line to the file `/var/snap/easy-openvpn-server/common/ccd/sysadmin` `ifconfig-push 10.8.1.1 10.8.1.2` The address has to be inside the tunnel network of the server the client connects to. The udp and tcp servers each have their own network, which you can see with `sudo snap get easy-openvpn-server internal.udp.tun-network` and `sudo snap get easy-openvpn-server internal.tcp.tun-network`. Note: if you want to change the default config for all clients, you can add these changes in the file `/var/snap/easy-openvpn-server/common/ccd/DEFAULT` ### Package name * easy-openvpn-server --- ### License * Apache-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 25 October 2026 - latest/stable * 25 October 2026 - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server](https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server "https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server") --- ### Contact * [github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server/issues](https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server/issues "https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server](https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server "https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server/issues](https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server/issues "https://github.com/idlab-discover/easy-openvpn-server/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/easy-openvpn-server/fedora#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Fedora and install Easy OpenVPN Server Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line: ``` sudo dnf install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` ### Install Easy OpenVPN Server To install Easy OpenVPN Server, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install easy-openvpn-server ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
