This tutorial will show you how to install OpenVPN on a CentOS Server. With a little experience, this tutorial can also be used to help install OpenVPN on other Linux Operating Systems.
- CentOS 5.8 64-bit
- OpenVPN 1.8.4
Open a Terminal in CentOS and enter the following command to download the package from OpenVPN’s website (20MB):
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-1.8.4-CentOS5.x86_64.rpm
Install the package using the following command:
rpm -i openvpn-as-1.8.4-CentOS5.x86_64.rpm
Change your admin password using the following command:
passwd openvpn
Done! Head to the admin address that the installation command printed out for you. You’ll be able to make all other changes using the admin console.
