## openvpn-install
OpenVPN [road warrior](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_warrior_%28computing%29) installer for Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS and Fedora.

This script will let you set up your own VPN server in no more than a minute, even if you haven't used OpenVPN before. It has been designed to be as unobtrusive and universal as possible.

### Installation
Run the script and follow the assistant:

`wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh`

Once it ends, you can run it again to add more users, remove some of them or even completely uninstall OpenVPN.

First commit 2013-05-14 16:04:19 +04:00
Miscellaneous improvements - Fix #694: added sanitization during the public IP address configuration and switch to AWS checkip since the Akamai service doesn't support HTTPS. - Add validation to cover an unlikely case where: server is behind NAT, checkip service is unreachable and user doesn't provide input when asked for the public IP address or hostname. - Other small improvements not worth describing in detail. 2020-04-21 03:28:29 +03:00			`This script will let you set up your own VPN server in no more than a minute, even if you haven't used OpenVPN before.
