====== Open VPN ====== We'll follow [[https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/18003/openvpn-step-by-step-setups-for-various-debian-based-linux-oss-with-videos-ubuntu-mint-debian|those instruction by WinstonSmith]]: ---- ===== Older stuff ==== Install the openvpn and bridge-utils packages: <code> > sudo apt-get install openvpn bridge-utils > sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome > sudo restart network-manager </code> ---- ===== Using .ovpn Configuration Files ===== ---- [[http://naveensnayak.wordpress.com/2013/03/04/ubuntu-openvpn-with-ovpn-file/|This post]] explains how to connect to a VPN from Ubuntu when you are given a .ovpn file, we'll use it to guide us. We cannot import the file directly in the network manager, we will have to chop up the file manually and do some minor workarounds. * Make a directory called openvpn in your home directory * Copy the client.ovpn file into dir openvpn * Optional: Keep an original copy of the file – call it client.ovpn.orig * Next we will create 4 files under the openvpn directory. Open the client.ovpn file in a text editor * Create a file called ca.crt – copy the text between <ca> and </ca> from client.ovpn into this file * Create a file called client.crt – copy the text between <cert> and </cert> from client.ovpn into this file * Create a file called client.key – copy the text between <key> and </key> from client.ovpn into this file * Create a file called ta.key – copy the text between <tls-auth> and </tls-auth> from client.ovpn into this file Another article, specifically on lmde here:\\ [[http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1560]] ---- ++++
