# VPN installation for LINUX ## Requirements * Openvpn version 2.x.x * Ubuntu version >= 18.04 (for minor version you may have to install openvpn 2) run `openvpn --version` to know which version is installed :warning: All following commands have to be runned with root elevation (sudo) ## Install config file Open config file sent by mail named **Wynd VPN OVH.ovpn** and replace on line 7 ```shell= client-cert-not-required ``` by ```shell= verify-client-cert ``` ## Rename and move config file To allow openvpn to automatically grab config file on startup we have to rename and move it to a proper place `/etc/openvpn` by running following commands : ```shell= # In the same folder of config file sudo mv "Wynd VPN OVH.ovpn" /etc/openvpn/vpn_wynd.conf ``` ## Start and stop vpn To start or stop vpn you have to run following command : ```shell= sudo systemctl start openvpn@vpn_wynd # or sudo systemctl stop openvpn@vpn_wynd ``` :warning: VPN will start automatically at next reboot ## (Optionnal) Store credentials You can store your LDAP credentials to avoid typing them each time. Create a new file `/etc/openvpn/.ldap_credentials` with following content : ```shell= ldap_username ldap_password ``` Then edit config file `/etc/openvpn/vpn_wynd.conf` and replace line 15 : ```shell= auth-user-pass ``` by ```shell= auth-user-pass ./.ldap_credentials ``` To try connection without credentials stop vpn then restart it with commands describe in previous section
