Various tools can be used on Kerlink gateways to establish secure connections.
They can be used just like on any linux system.
They are available for installation using apt:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install <packageName>
First, install OpenVPN:
sudo apt install openvpn
Please refer to the documentation to specify your VPN configuration.
Then, put it in /etc/openvpn/client:
sudo vi /etc/openvpn/client/name.conf # you can use any name, but it must end in `.conf'
A
.ovpnfile is compatible. It can simply be renamed using
mv name.ovpn name.conf
Enable and start the VPN using systemd:
sudo systemctl enable --now openvpn-client@name # replace `name' with the file name in step 2, without `.conf'
You can monitor the status and logs of the VPN using systemd:
sudo systemctl status openvpn-client@name
sudo journalctl -fu openvpn-client@name
The VPN will automatically start at boot time. You can review the IP address and routing table using these commands:
sudo ip addr
sudo ip route
redirect-gatewayrule from Openvpn server may lead to unexpected behavior, please remove it from server or ignore it in client configuration using:
pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway
