Installing OpenVPN3 Linux Client

netwerkingnut

I just finished creating my OpenVPN Access Server on Ubuntu Server. Question now is which version of Ubuntu should I install the OpenVPN3 Linux Client? Can it run effectively & efficiently on Ubuntu Workstation or should I put it on Ubuntu Server?

Hello netwerkingnut,

That doesn't really matter much, the underlying system is the same, the workstation version just has GUI components added. It should work fine on both. Just keep in mind in either case it's going to be a command-line only tool.

Kind regards,
Johan

Thanks! I was leaning toward the workstation. Just wanted to ask first before I screwed up! 🙂

Ok, I'm in the process of installing via the terminal and I entered the line, "# wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn3.list https://swupdate.openvpn.net/community/openvpn3/repos/openvpn3-$DISTRO.list". It shows as connected, but it's not finding the file.

Any clues? :?

I just realized I need to change $DISTRO with I guess ubuntu, however I don't know just how to list which version I installed. It's 20.04.3 LTS.

So, how do I detail that part of the string? I added a space after https to disable the link creation.
"# wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn3.list https ://swupdate.openvpn.net/community/openvpn3/repos/openvpn3-(ubuntu20.04.3).list"

Never mind! The answer was focal.
