Install the necessary software
I am going to configure openVPN as routing and not as Bridge.
Enter these commands on both the server and the client.
apt-get install openvpn openssl rdate
Now on the server side issue these commands
cd /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/
cp * /etc/openvpn -R
cd /etc/openvpn
. ./vars (Be carefull there is a blank between two points)
./clean-all
./build-ca
Now create the certificates for the server
./build-key-server server
Now create the certificate for the client site
./build-key home
you can call it anything, I called it home
you can create as many keys as you need from this point for as many clients as you want, once you have finished issue this command.
./build-dh
Configure the server side
cd /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/
cp server.conf.gz /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/
gunzip server.conf.gz
vim server.conf
Look for these lines
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key # This file should be kept secret
dh dh1024.pem
and change to these ones
ca /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/keys/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/server.key # This file should be kept secret
dh /etc/openvpn/keys/dh1024.pem
uncomment the client-to-client directive to enable clients to be able to connect to each others through the VPN, and not only to the server.
Here is my SERVER.CONF:port 1194
;proto tcp
proto udp
dev tap
;dev tun
ca /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/keys/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/server.key # This file should be kept secret
dh /etc/openvpn/keys/dh1024.pem
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
client-to-client
;duplicate-cn
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status openvpn-status.log
verb 3
Configure the client
First you need to copy the certificates from the server to the client, be sure to make this in a secure way, either using scp or a USB Key in order to keep your files secure.
the needed files are:
ca.crt
home.crt
home.key (should be kept secret)
and they are in the server's directory /etc/openvpn/keys/
now you have copied all these files to the client open a console on the client and
cd /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/
cp client.conf /etc/openvpn/
cd /etc/openvpn/
vi client.conf
Look for these lines
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
remote my-server-1 1194
and change them for these ones.
ca /etc/openvpn/keys/ca.crtthat is all, unless you have made some other changes on the server side, as for example change from UDP to TCP to the default port, so you will have to change that also on the client side.
cert /etc/openvpn/keys/home.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/home.key
remote [the.ip.of.server] 1194
Start the server
openvpn /etc/openvpn/server.conf
if everything goes ok, you should see something like this,

Then, you need to make one machine (the remote machine you want to connect to) publically visible.
Go to that machine and connect to the Internet. Go to No-IP.com.
Open an account at No-IP (it's free). In the No-IP setup screens (on their web site),
set up the information for your machine (they call it a "host"). Give your host a name (such
as "MyOffice") and select an extension to be added after "No-IP".
If you selected ".biz", for example, your machine will have the public name "myoffice.no-ip.biz".
Since the name you choose must be unique, No-IP provides a number of different extensions;
keep trying until your name is approved.
Install ddclient and set it with No-IP account:
apt-get install ddclient
