To set up a VPN on Ubuntu, follow these steps:
- First, you need to install the OpenVPN client on Ubuntu. Open the Terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T keys and type the following command:
1
|
sudo apt-get install openvpn
|
- Once the installation is complete, you need to download the configuration files from your VPN provider. These files contain the settings and credentials required to connect to the VPN.
- Next, you need to copy the downloaded configuration files to the /etc/openvpn/ directory. You can do this by using the following command:
1
|
sudo cp /path/to/config/file /etc/openvpn/
|
- Now, you need to edit the configuration file and add your VPN credentials. Open the file in a text editor with root privileges, such as nano or gedit, and add the following lines at the end of the file:
1
|
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/login.conf
|
- Create a file named "login.conf" in the /etc/openvpn/ directory with the following two lines, where the first line is your VPN username, and the second line is your VPN password:
1
2
|
your_vpn_username
your_vpn_password
|
- Finally, you can connect to the VPN using the following command:
1
|
sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/config-file-name.ovpn
|
Replace "config-file-name.ovpn" with the actual name of the configuration file you want to use.
That's it! You should now be connected to the VPN on Ubuntu.
