How to install OpenVPN-AS on Ubuntu or Debian ( 30 seconds )
On this guide you will find how to install openvpn access server on Ubuntu or Debian VPS or dedicated server. I have originally posted this guide on my blog here http://www.ruchirablog.com/install-openvpn-ubuntu/
http://www.ruchirablog.com/wp-conten...openvpn-as.jpg
If you want to get OpenVPN running on your server, the easiest way is using the OpenVPN-AS ( Access Server ). OpenVPN-AS is the commercial version of opensource OpenVPN project. But they are kind enough to let you use the OpenVPN-AS free for 2 concurrent users. Of course you can buy licenses and increase the user limit, But for personal use its enough.
Installing OpenVPN-AS is very easy compared to the regular OpenVPN and it comes with a nice web based management interface as you can see on above screenshot. Also the web interface has nice options like showing bandwidth usage, connected user info etc. You can run OpenVPN-AS on 128MB ram VPS or higher. 128MB of RAM is more than enough for this purpose. Just grab a 128MB OpenVZ VPS from Ramnode or BuyVM and lets get in to the installation,
Note :- OpenVPN-AS is available for many linux distros but Ill cover the Ubuntu and Debian. Install 32bit version of Ubuntu or Debian if you have less than 256MB of RAM on your VPS or Dedi. Also don’t forget to enable TUN/TAP and PPP if you are using an OpenVZ VPS like shown below

Installation
First of all lets update the system and packages
Code:apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Then lets download the installation files from the OpenVPN web site
For 32bit OS
Code:wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-1.8.5-Ubuntu12.i386.deb
Code:wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-1.8.5-Ubuntu12.amd_64.deb
On 32bit OS
Code:dpkg -i openvpn-as-1.8.5-Ubuntu12.i386.deb
Code:dpkg -i openvpn-as-1.8.5-Ubuntu12.amd_64.deb
Now we have to set a password for the openvpn user by below command. Enter a password you wish and this will be used to login to admin panel and the VPN.
Code:passwd openvpn

I believe Ubuntu 12.04 has OpenVPN-AS as a package so all you need to do is type:
Code:apt-get update apt-get install openvpn-as
