New VPN Host - Ran into some problems

Post by bretsie » Thu Jul 19, 2012 3:34 pm

Hello, I am new to this whole VPN hosting thing. I have a few questions and problems I have ran into recently that maybe you guys could help me with.

First the good news, I have gotten OpenVPN setup correctly on a Debian based system with a static IP of my VPN under UDP with port 1194. Then I enabled all traffic to be tunneled through the VPN successfully.

Now my first problem is, when ever I try to create a new client I receive this error.

Code: Select all

#. /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/build-key testkey1
-bash: ./pkitool: No such file or directory
What are the complete steps of creating a new client? Or is it just redundant to even create a new client as I am on a Static IP configuration?
Secondly, what can I do to set my configuration for Dynamic IP's, if having a Static IP is the problem for my previous question.

Third question. What are some steps I can take to increase security of any users I may have? Or to make sure people are being fair and not sharing their VPN accounts with multiple users?
