Here's what I'm trying to do:
Use OpenVPN running on a virtual server (Debian) to allow clients to access the Web. I am purchasing additional IP addresses from the host and want to assign one per client.
I'm pretty sure that OpenVPN will do this based upon what sites like AnonymousChannel and FindNot do.
I have installed OpenVPN on my VPS and I don't know how can i login on that and create client and configuration.
Support from Datacenter have installed on my VPS.
this is my details:

Currently trying to get OpenVPN to work on my CentOS VPS, however not getting very far with it. I have followed the guide here: [url]
No problems with the guide, everything worked well! However when i goto start the openVPN service it fails with the following output in the log:

===============================================================
how come I can't route all traffic through openvpn.
1. I was able to ping my client and server ip no problem. So the tunnel connection is fine.
The problem is i can't route internet traffic through openvpn.
I was able to ping from tun0 interface after i add below command
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
root@host188 [/etc/openvpn/config]# ping -I tun0 4.2.2.2
PING 4.2.2.2 (4.2.2.2) from 10.8.0.1 tun0: 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=55 time=8.65 ms
64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=55 time=8.90 ms
However, my client can't ping 4.2.2.2 from vpn tunnel and I use tcpdump I saw the traffic coming.
I am planning to install a VPN software, probably OpenVPN over my VPS at RackForce. However, I am not much a VPN professional so that I would need some tutorials on it.

I have spent the last few days setting up a low-end VPS server as a VPN host, using OpenVPN on CentOS 5.
I've got everything set up, but one last (and most critical) component is still not working correctly.
Basically what I need, is that once users are on the VPN, they should be able to browse the internet through the VPN under that server's IP address rather than their own dynamic address. I was told that this VPN set up was the way to do it. However, right now when I connect into my VPN I can browse that specific server, but cannot access any other websites at all.
If it would help to see my config files, please let me know and I'll post.
I'm really itching to have this up and running,
I have a customer who wants to have *all* their computer internet activity routed through a server in our datacenter.
They want MSN, email, ftp, browser, ping from the command line, and even DNS lookups that initiate from any software running on the computer...
... they want everything to be routed through the datacenter server.
None of it should go through the ISP. Not even DNS lookups.
I'm thinking that a VPN setup is the way to do this. (ie: Run openVPN on the server and use openVPN client on the remote computers.)
So the idea is that as long as they are connected to the VPN server in our datacenter, which creates an encrypted "tunnel", then all traffic will be routed through the datacenter VPN server. The ISP will not be able to see anything at all, except the connection to the VPN server.
In the /var/log/messages snippet posted below, I see this (see below snippet)
Is this bad? Are the highlighted parts bad? Do they show an incorrect or inefficient configuration? I tried to find out what it means, but google isn't being too helpful in this instance.
(The VPN is used only as an "internet gateway" for about 5 users who need to browse the internet from within a foreign country.)
Here is the logfile snippet from /var/log/messages. (I changed he vpn username and client IP for privacy.)

It goes on like this, with this pattern repeating every 20 seconds or so. Is this normal?
Recently i have bought an Centos 5 vpsserver. I have installed openvpn with this code in Putty: # yum install openvpn.
Now i want to copy easy-rsa to /etc/openvpn.
I used this code:
# cp -R /usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn
Unfortunuatly this error appears:
cp: missing destination file operand after '/usr/share/openvpn/easy-rsa'
Does anyone know the solution for this problem?
I have installed openvpn in my vps.
OS:Centos
CP:Virtuozzo
Now the main problem is that I was never able to login to admin after installation/configuration i.e
[url]
This is admin url,
I have contact the openvpn but they have not yet supported much they say I have to enter root password. But I dont know what are default login for that.
One more thing I guess root is the username and should I need to enter my Virtuozzo password or what?
How do go about discovering where your bottleneck is with an openvpn setup?
Ive setup openvpn on my remote server and have setup everything so that my desktop clients (vista and ubuntu) at home can connect and have all internet traffic directed successfully through the tunnel.
Im using it to stream video that would normally be inaccessible outside of the UK whilst im in Japan i.e. iplayer.
The problem is its oftenvery choppy and unplayable. Though its good when england is sleeping.
Im new to servers (not to stuff like programming though) so dont know where the problem lies, how to find it out or even where to start looking. For example things ging through my head
Is it the limitations of the vps? How do i find that out? my plan:- vps1
Is it the location of the actual server in the uk? How do i know if there are any better coming from japan?
Is it my configurations? How do i pinpoint that?
Or is it working as good as it can be? How do i know that for sure?
etc etc
What would be your process of elimantion? Quick checks that would tell you which direction to move forward in?
I want to make vpn server beside hosting server .

any reason why it would stop working? i am on a VPS i have asked if the host machine parameters have been changed but in the meantime anything else i can check?
I have had great difficulty in setting up OpenVPN, so I thought, when I finally do get it to work, I will write a HOWTO, so other can hopefully benefit…
This guide was done using a FC4 VPS, running on Xen, it will work on OpenVZ, all you need to do is ask your VPS provider to install “tun support”.
1.First of all get a few additional repos, If you already have your repos setup, skip this step
If you have Fedora 3, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have Fedora 4, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have Fedora 5, follow these steps,
[url]
If you have CentOS, follow the “additional third party CentOS repos”
[url]
Then issue these commands, each line is a new command, anything beginning with "#" are comments so dont try to execute those.
Code:
yum update
yum install openssl openssl-devel
# openssl and openssl-devel may be installed already… so don’t worry
2. Right, now you want to install OpenVPN, here are the commands,
Code:
yum install openvpn -y
#Now check that it works
service openvpn start
service openvpn stop
3. A few things to setup before you can make certificates, issue these commands,
Code:
find / -name "easy-rsa"
#you should get an output like this…
/usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0.7/easy-rsa
#Now, make a copy of the easy-rsa directory, to /etc/openvpn/ ( make sure you #have put the right version number in i.e. mine was -2.0.7, change if needed)
cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn-2.0.7/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
chmod 777 *
mkdir /etc/openvpn/keys
4. You need to edit the vars file, located in /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa
You can use any editor you like, I used vi.
Change the line
Code:
export KEY_DIR=$D/keys
to
Code:
export KEY_DIR=/etc/openvpn/keys
Also at the bottom of this file you will see something similar to this,
Code:
export KEY_COUNTRY=US
export KEY_PROVINCE=CA
export KEY_CITY=SOMEWHERE
export KEY_ORG="My Org"
export KEY_EMAIL=me@mydomain.com
Change this to your own values.
5. Now its time to make the certificates, enter these commands
Code:
. ./vars
Code:
./clean-all
Code:
./build-ca
# just hit enter to the defaults apart from Common Name, this must be unique
# call it something like mydomain-ca
Code:
./build-key-server server
Code:
./build-key client1
# remember that common name must be unique e.g. use mydomain-client1
# and YES you want to sign the keys
Code:
./build-key client2
# do this step for as many clients as you need.
Code:
./build-dh
6. We are almost done now… right we need to create a few config files, you can download my template from here,
Code:
cd /etc/openvpn
Code:
wget www.designpc.co.uk/downloads/server.conf
# make sure you change a few things in the server.conf file, like DNS
# servers
Code:
touch server-tcp.log
~ this makes the log file..
Code:
touch ipp.txt
this makes the IP reservation list.
7. You need to make a few changes to OpenVPN itself. Go to..
Code:
cd /etc/init.d/
edit the openvpn file
#Uncomment this line (line 119)
Code:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
Add these lines below it, changing 123.123.123.123 to your public IP address,
Code:
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.3 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.4 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.5 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.6 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.7 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.8 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.9 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.2.10 -j SNAT --to 123.123.123.123
Now install iptables if you don’t have it already,
Code:
yum install iptables
#test it
service iptables start
service iptables stop
8. Now for the client config files. If your client is a Windows machine, make sure you have installed OpenVPN, use the gui version, downloadable from here;
[url]
You need to copy a few files from the server to your client machine, here is the list, located in /etc/openvpn/keys/
## WARNING ## Use a secure way of transferring these files off the server, something like WinSCP.
ca.crt
client1.csr
client1.key
client1.crt
Put these files in this directory C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
Now you need to make a client config, here is an example..
PHP Code:
clientdev tunproto tcp#Change my.publicdomain.com to your public domain or IP addressremote my.publicdomain.com 1194resolv-retry infinitenobindpersist-keypersist-tunca ca.crtcert client1.crtkey client1.keyns-cert-type server#DNS Options here, CHANGE THESE !!push "dhcp-option DNS 123.123.123.123"push "dhcp-option DNS 123.123.123.124"comp-lzoverb 3
Make sure you edit any of the lines with comments above them.
Call this file client1.opvn and put it in C:Program FilesOpenVPNconfig
Make sure the file extension is .opvn not .txt
To connect right click on OpenVPN in the taskbar >> Connect
