A Bash script that installs and manages a self-hosted OpenVPN VPN server on many Linux distributions. It handles client certificate generation, revocation, firewall rules, and non-interactive automation.
Use cases
- set up my own openvpn server on a vps
- generate client config files for vpn devices
- manage and revoke vpn client certificates
- run a vpn server where udp is blocked and tcp is needed
- self-host a privacy vpn on debian or ubuntu
- automate openvpn server installation with a script
When to choose
- you need TCP support for restrictive networks
- you want password-protected private keys
- you need legacy client compatibility across platforms
- you want a quick one-command VPN server setup
When to avoid
- you prefer WireGuard's simpler, faster tunnels (use wireguard-install instead)
- you need a GUI-managed VPN solution
- you are not comfortable running a root shell script on your server
