I am trying to connect a rocky server to open vpn but every search only shows posts on how to start a server. I have a express subscription and want to put that vpn on the server. I am trying to use the command line because it is a cloud server. please help.
Do you have a connection file from the vpn server you want to connect to? If yes you just run openvpn the-vnp-config-file.
The openvpn package is on EPEL though, you have to enable this repository before installing it.
I am doing this in docker using Gluetun. It can be done for the entire box also though…depends on your vpn provider and their config files for setup. openvpn etc
- Download the openvpn file from expressvpn (tcp or udp - read up on which to choose)
- install openvpn via dnf `sudo dnf install openvpn`
- Connect using that file `sudo openvpn /path/to/file/you/downloaded.ovpn`
I dont particularly like spoonfeeding like this but it’s very very straightforward and basic.
