Move to our easy-rsa directory required. Now that all the server keys and certs are generated, they should be copied to our OpenVPN configuration directory. Each client will also each need a certificate and key in order to authenticate and connect to the VPN.

Run the following command, where clientName is the name you want to use for this particular client certificate. You will be prompted to enter the country name, city name, etc. The process is the same as for the server key generation. This is intended to be the information of the client but none of it really matters. Enter y to sign and commit the certificate. Note: It is a good practice to use a different certificate for each client, and this is enforced by OpenVPN by default.

However, if required, this can be disabled in the OpenVPN configuration explained later. If you used a key size different from you will need to modify the OpenVPN configuration to match the file name of the key size you used. Log in again. If, as mentioned earlier, you want to use the same keys and certificates for multiple clients which is slightly less secure uncomment this line:.

Note: Whichever cipher you use must also be defined in the client config file which we will create later. Make clientName the client name we set earlier while generating certificates. Copy in the client key and certificate we generated with easy-rsa , and the sample client.

Make sure you replace the clientName with the name you used earlier for the. Use the same settings you did previously; for example:. If you changed the proto line in the server configuration, then this also needs to be reflected in the client.

As with everything, it is easy when you know how. Most OpenVPN examples seem to be using the tap interface and ethernet bridging. To keep things simple, I wanted to go with the default ip-routed tun interface. Apart from being default, thus requiring less config fiddling, it fits nicely with pf and requires one less kernel module. After making it all play together, I also wanted the connecting clients to access the internet through the VPN connection, necessitating some routing.

The last step is not necessary if all the resources the VPN clients will need are on the server itself. A similar step will be required if the clients should access other servers close to the VPN entry-point. But before we can go ahead and start it, we need keys and certificates. OK, that authority can now sign the server certificate. This is a two-step process where we first generate a request for a certificate, then the actual certificate.

Note that while you can put almost anything in the fields when asked, you will need at least a common name for each, and the organization must be the same for both certificates.

If you want to use password-based authentication for the clients, these are all the certificates you need. Tuesday, January 11, Sign in. Forgot your password? Get help. Password recovery.

Wondering if you have a reference using pf instead of ipfw rulesets?
