openVPN


Introduction


This page will cover the process that is the setup of my own VPN server at my house. I will be following this tutorial during my setup.

Objective


Why am I doing this? I am doing this because it is a very good learning experience and can be very helpful in that it can serve as an access point to the rest of my machines if I happen to require anything from them, on top of being a web server or whatever purpose I would like it to serve.

Process


I am creating the VPN server on a 32-bit debian machine.

Step 01: Install openVPN

I did not have the openVPN package installed, so I just ran:

root@machine:~# apt-get install openVPN

And voila! It has been installed!
