open VPN CLI project testing

Madhumati

Hello,

I have a industrial IOT gateway(LINUX based) running openVPN CLI program. So my IOT gateway can be configured as VPN Client/Server any?

To test the vpn client-server communication , what should be the steps followed?

How I can test this from my Windows LAptop ?Do I need to use open VPN access server or Open VPN Client application?

Hello Madhumati,

That is a really broad question. You can either follow the many available guides for open source OpenVPN, for setting up a server and a client, or you can take a bit of a shortcut and run the server with OpenVPN Access Server and download a connection profile from that and trying to use that to connect to your server.

To learn how to deploy and use Access Server:
https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/

And how to connect a Linux-based system using OpenVPN command-line to an Access Server:
https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/connecting-to-access-server-with-linux/

In your case you would likely not be using the OpenVPN3 Linux client, but just the OpenVPN(2) open source CLI program to make the connection.

Kind regards,
Johan
