CentOS

Install OpenVPN on CentOS#

1. Run as superuser#

su

2. Enable EPEL#

Choose architecture CentOS 4 32bit CentOS 4 64bit CentOS 5 32bit CentOS 5 64bit CentOS 6 32bit CentOS 6 64bit CentOS 7 64bit

3. Download components#

yum update && yum install openvpn unzip wget

4. Download the configuration file#

cd /tmp && mkdir -p /etc/openvpn && mv config/* /etc/openvpn && chmod +x /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf && rm -rf config && rm -f ovpn-se-gothenburg.conf

5. Enter your login credentials#

echo "**CHANGE TO YOUR USERNAME**" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials
echo "**CHANGE TO YOUR PASSWORD**" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials

6. Start OpenVPN and see that everything works#

openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config client.conf --daemon

7. Verify that the connection was successful#

Wait for about a minute after running the last command, then run:

note

The service you should check is [email protected] where NAME is the name of your configuration file (without the ".conf"). So if your openvpn configuration file is /etc/openvpn/ovpn.conf you should use command as below.

systemctl status [email protected]

You should see something like:

[email protected] - OpenVPN connection to ovpn
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/[email protected]; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Mon 2017-10-23 07:57:37 CEST; 2h 15min ago
Docs: man:openvpn(8)

8. Done#

Congratulations! Now your CentOS will connect to CloudLAN Room automatically when it is started.
