====== Install OpenVPN Access Server ======
First, make sure that all of the latest patches are installed
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
I run this on both Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 servers without any problems...
cd /tmp
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-2.1.4b-Ubuntu16.amd_64.deb
sudo dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.1.4b-Ubuntu16.amd_64.deb
sudo passwd openvpn
sudo /usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init
- In the initialization wizard:
* Enter DELETE and press enter
* Enter yes to accept agreement
* Press enter to configure this server as primary Access Server node
* Choose (1) all interfaces: 0.0.0.0 for the network interface
* Select defaults for remaining questions.
- Open a web browser and navigate to the Admin URL.
- Log in with the OpenVPN user account
- Once the Admin interface loads, change authentication (in the General tab) to local.
- Finally, add users while checking "Allow Auto-login" for each user.
At this point, each user can log into the server to download the client and/or config file.
