One-Click OpenVPN for free

In today's society, security and privacy is a problem when you are at public areas like airports, coffee shops, hotels, censored countries(China,etc) in the world, or any location that offers free public WiFi. Outsiders can monitor internet traffic between your computer and the web. OpenVPN is an open source application that implements a virtual private network, which will create a secure connection between you and your remote destination (website or server). This tutorial will show you how to quickly install and setup OpenVPN .

Tips: Using Your VPN

Here are some important notes to keep in mind while using your OpenVPN app on Vultr.

• Each OpenVPN app includes the Access Server (AS) control panel. This can be accessed with your OpenVPN login (https://[SERVER_IP] ).
• The OpenVPN software used only allows 2 concurrent connections. This means that you may have up to 2 computers connected to your OpenVPN server at any given time. If you need additional connections, you may purchase a license from OpenVPN. See the license section of the AS control panel ( https://[SERVER_IP]/admin/license ).
• The VPN default network address range is ( 172.27.224.0 - 172.27.239.255 ). Upon connecting with the OpenVPN Client software, your computer will be given an IP address in this range.
• By default, OpenVPN does not allow multiple client connections to communicate with one another. For example, say you have 2 computers connected to your OpenVPN server, they are given addresses: 172.27.224.1 and 172.27.224.2. If you would like 172.27.224.1 to be able to communicate with 172.27.224.2, you have to change some routing settings on the "VPN Settings" section of the AS control panel.

1. Visit the VPN settings page ( https://[SERVER_IP]/admin/vpn_settings ).
2. Under the routing section, choose "Yes, using routing (advanced)" under "Should VPN clients have access to private subnets (non-public networks on the server side)?".
3. In the "Specify the private subnets..." box, enter 172.27.224.0/20.
4. Click "Save Settings". Then click "Update Running Server".

• IPv6 is not supported with this app. You can enable IPv6 when launching an OpenVPN app on Vultr, but the OpenVPN software will not take advantage of it. The OpenVPN software used for this app only has partial IPv6 support. Vultr will likely add full IPv6 integration when the OpenVPN software fully supports it.
• For IPv6 clients - no IPv6 traffic is routed through the OpenVPN app. If you connect to your OpenVPN network, only IPv4 traffic will be routed through it. As a workaround, you can disable your local IPv6 connection temporarily while using OpenVPN, or disable IPv6 in your web browser (some browsers have this setting).
• OpenVPN controls the DNS settings of each connected client computer. By default, the DNS servers of your OpenVPN server are used. You can change this behavior in the AS control panel ( https://[SERVER_IP]/admin/vpn_settings ).
• When connected to your OpenVPN server, all of your IPv4 internet traffic passes through it. Therefore, your internet download/upload speeds will be slower than normal.
• (You can log into this system with an SSH client using the root login found on your Vultr control panel.)
