## What it is
A Bash script that installs and configures an OpenVPN server on Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, CentOS, and Fedora in about a minute. It also supports re-running to add or remove users and to uninstall OpenVPN.

## Use cases
- set up my own openvpn server on a vps
- install openvpn on ubuntu with one command
- add and remove vpn users easily
- self-host a personal vpn server
- configure openvpn road warrior setup
- uninstall openvpn cleanly from a server

## When to choose
- you want a fast, guided OpenVPN server setup on a supported RPM/DEB Linux distro
- you prefer a simple interactive script over manual certificate and config management
- you need easy user management (add/remove/revoke clients) on a self-hosted VPN

## When to avoid
- you need WireGuard or another VPN protocol instead of OpenVPN
- your server runs an unsupported OS or a non-systemd environment
- you need a GUI or managed VPN service rather than a terminal-based installer
