Easy to use OpenVPN tutorial needed

[nandor2]

Hi there,

I need to install OpenVPN to an Ubuntu 14.04 server.
I found many-many tutorial about how to install OpenVPN server, but none of them was workable for me.
If you know a good and easy to use tutorial the please share it with me.

Thanks,
Nandor

Hi

I followed these instructions... https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/openvpn.html

I have a tendency to skip ahead and miss things which made it quite difficult, but when I followed them exactly it went OK. I've not done anything clever with bridged or routed connectivity yet, but I can connect up to my server no problems.

Thanks for the answer.
What do you think? Can it work on VPS as well?

I maintain static-key tunnels between a server in my office and my remote servers at Linode. It's a simple, effective solution. I added a rule on my router that forwards traffic intended for the remotes over to the OpenVPN machine. Every machine in my office can see both my remote servers this way.

Thank you SeijiSensei, this solution seems to be very good.
