How do I set up a VPN on Debian?

Debian Logo

Setting up a VPN on Debian is a relatively simple process. To get started, you will need to install the OpenVPN package. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:

sudo apt-get install openvpn

Once the package is installed, you will need to copy the configuration file to the OpenVPN directory. This can be done with the following command:

sudo cp <config_file_name> /etc/openvpn/

Once the configuration file is in place, you can start the OpenVPN service with the following command:

sudo openvpn <config_file_name>

Once the service is running, you can visit a website that displays your IP address to verify that the VPN is working correctly.

That's it! You have successfully set up a VPN on Debian.
