OpenVPN security

Post by CorsicaBia » Mon Feb 22, 2021 4:21 pm

Hello all

First sorry for my poor english

I just installed an OpenVPN server on a Debian Buster (server mode). Before opening OpenVPN and allowing the connection from the internet in warrior mode, I tried to be as secure as possible:

- Of course user need a certificate
- I also activated a module (plugin /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/openvpn/plugins/openvpn-plugin-auth-pam.so /etc/pam.d/login) which forces users to enter a login / mdp
- Finally, the key is protected by a passphrase (each key has its own passphrase).

So to connect a user must enter his login / mdp and must then enter his passphrase for the key.

Is there something else to do, would I have missed something?

cordially

You can also add some custom TLS key verification steps:
