Hi,

This is the hardest way of installing the OpenVPN.

Well you download the .RPM Package from OpenVPN (http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/download-openvpn-as-sw.html) into your VPS or Dedicated

Then you run this commands

http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/docs/admin-guides/123-how-to-install-openvpn-as-software.html

And the software will be installed it self.

Also you need to do this

http://openvpn.net/index.php/access-server/docs/admin-guides/186-how-to-run-access-server-on-a-vps-container.html

Tweaks so the VPN can work.

And you will have a Admin and User Interface for your VPN.

You will go like yourip:933 and you will just need to configure it and you are done :)...

This appears to be an easier method. I will try this method as well . Thanks for letting me know this. It appears that this is a paid implementation of OpenVPN whereas the method in the tutorial link i posted is free i guess.

Hi mana333,

Well you will have 2 Users Access at the same time for Free if you want more users then you need to pay but this method is more easy.

@ Sandy92 . I have tried your method successfully and it is very smooth and fast and easy. Thanks for sharing this.

Used this exact guide...very helpful and got it working on Ubuntu 11.04 VPS!

Great tutorial thanks.

What is the default password for the Admin login with openVPN-as? I tried user name as root. And openvas as password.

Never mind, I got it.

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a tutorial

Thanks for this man. I always seem to have issues with Ubuntu.
