Need help, setup OpenVPN Client on Debain?

Post by CyberzaCN » Sat Dec 10, 2022 5:00 pm

Hello everyone
I am a newbie.
I recently started using Linux and OpenVPN access server.
I could set up a windows client but have a problem setting up my Debian system.
I installed Openvpn the following
# sudo apt install openvpn -y
I tried everything to set it up but no matter how much it doesn't seem to connect.
I don't know how to get the config.opvn file from the server.
I found an example of the client.opvn in the /etc/openvpn folder.

client
proto udp
explicit-exit-notify
remote X.X.X.X 1194
dev tun
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
remote-cert-tls server
verify-x509-name server_4XBMmhUVLKrDubLq name
auth SHA256
auth-nocache
cipher AES-128-GCM
tls-client
tls-version-min 1.2
tls-cipher TLS-ECDHE-ECDSA-WITH-AES-128-GCM-SHA256
ignore-unknown-option block-outside-dns
setenv opt block-outside-dns # Prevent Windows 10 DNS leak
verb 3

I need help. I am already overwhelmed with everything.
I installed the program, but have no idea how to set up the client, tried following a few posts on how to set it up but failed.
Any help would be appreciated.
