Hello Vamsi,

Just a question. Are there multiple servers that you wish to use a VPN to connect too?

Usually VPN is for security measures. Your hosting company may provide this type of connection.

Just wondering.


I have used this before if it helps.

To run the automatic configuration just type in the below code into the terminal as root.

Code:
/usr/local/openvpn_as/ovpn-init
You will still have to set up port forwarding on your router and open up ports 443 and 943 on your server's firewall.
