OpenVPN - How to create an additional user configuration

 

This article describes a step-by-step guide how to create additional OpenVPN configuration file (.ovpn) for new user/device, using our OVS or PVS service's.

 

Steps you need to take:

1. Depending on the ordered service :

  • If you have ordered PVS service, you can skip this step.

  • If you have ordered OVS service, install/reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 on your OVS with Openvpn-proxy-l2tp-LLU script.  (You can find how to do it in our knowledge base. Just type "How to reinstall OS on my virtual server?".)

Note: After using the script, the standard SSH port will be changed to 6522.

 

2. SSH into your OVS/PVS server and run the following command:

  • bash /root/openvpnclient.sh your_configuration_name

 

3. Download a new configuration file.

  • In case of using PVS service, you can download the new configuration by following the link from the mail that was sent to you after ordering the service.


  • In case of using OVS with Ubuntu 20.04, the new configuration files will be located in the /root/openvpn/ folder.

 

4. Thats it! Now you can connect an additional device to your VPN server using new configuration file.
