OVPN allocates shared (NAT) IP addresses to connected clients. You'll will need our
Public IPv4 add-on in case you access your server remotely.
Install OpenVPN on Fedora
1. Download components
dnf update && dnf install openvpn unzip
2. Download the configuration you want
3. Enter your login credentials
echo "CHANGE TO YOUR USERNAME" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials
echo "CHANGE TO YOUR PASSWORD" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials
4. Start OpenVPN and see that everything works
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/ovpn.conf --daemon
5. Verify that the connection was successful
Wait about 30 seconds and then run:
curl https://www.ovpn.com/v2/api/client/ptr
You should see something like:
{"status":true,"ip":"the external ip","ptr":"PTR for the IP address"}
6. Done
Congratulations! Your device is now protected behind OVPN and will automatically connect on reboots. If you encountered any issues, please send the log file (/tmp/openvpn.log) to our support.
