You’d be able to see which client connects: Jan 5 22:07:56 raspberrypi ovpn-server: 1.2.3.4:64805 Peer Connection Initiated with 1.2.3.4:64805 Have a look at ‘/var/log/syslog’ to access the logfiles.

You need the client.crt, client.key and ca.crt files plus the ip-address of your Raspberry Pi.Ĭonnecting should now work without trouble.

I’m using Viscosity on Mac OSX, but there’re many clients available on almost any platform (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux). Now you should be able to connect to the OpenVPN server with a client. TX packets:16 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Response looks like: Starting virtual private network daemon: server. When you’re done, start OpenVPN like this:
You can copy the example config and make sure it points to the certs you just created.Ĭp /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/sample-config-files/ /etc/openvpn We need to copy the keys to the OpenVPN folder.Ĭp ca.crt ca.key dh2048.pem server.crt server.key /etc/openvpn Make sure you use a 2048 bit key, as suggested in the comments. Finally, we need the Diffie Hellman key as well, which is generated on the fifth line. Repeat the forth line for each client that needs to connect. The key for the server itself is generated on the third line. The second generates a key for the Certificate Authority. The first line makes sure we start from scratch. Load the vars like this (note the two dots). That will save you time later on but it’s not required to do so. The ‘easy-rsa’-tool has a file called ‘vars’ that you can edit to set some defaults. cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa /etc/openvpn It’s easiest to copy the example folder and work from there.

Since it’s Debian, you can use apt-get to install software: apt-get install openvpnĪfter the install finishes, you need to generate keys for the server and the client(s). Actually this is very easy due to the fact that the Raspberry Pi is running (a modified) Debian Weezy called Raspbian. Now, let’s see how we can turn it into a OpenVPN server. This enables me to connect to my home from anywhere, for example to access some files or to access the internet from there.īefore we start, Let’s have a look what’s on board the Raspberry Pi so you’ve an idea what we talk about:
It uses very little power (only 3 Watt), so it’s ideal for a server that’s always-on. I was thinking what’d be a nice task for my Raspberry Pi and came up with an OpenVPN server. The Raspberry Pi is a $35 credit-card sized computer, with an ARM-based CPU.
