Migrating to new server

Post by GeoDirk » Tue Apr 26, 2011 5:15 am

Can anyone tell me the process of moving users and certificates from one server to the next? Right now I have a VPS that I use for OpenVPN. I want to reload the OS and set up OpenVPN again on the server. Assuming that I go through all the process of getting it installed and running properly, is it simply a matter of copying over the contents of the previous /etc/openvpn directory? That would be ideal but it sounds too simple.

Thanks for the help.

hi there,

all you need (after installing openvpn on new server) is to copy
the contents of /etc/openvpn folder to the new server and start the service...

cheers,
