How do I use OpenVPN on Ubuntu?

I want to use openvpn on my ubuntu machine.

I have downloaded openvpn.tar.gz file from here and have installed it successfully. Now I want to use it. But I don't know how to use it.

OpenVPN is a protocol. It's not really "installed", it's just a set of files and instructions on how to set it up. You can download the openvpn.gz from the link you provided and then extract the contents of the archive using tar -zxvf openvpn.gz
Once you've extracted the contents of the archive, you need to run a script which will install the openvpn daemon. This script is in the openvpn package. In Ubuntu you can install this package with sudo apt-get install openvpn.

After installing the openvpn package, you'll also need to configure your firewall settings to allow connections from the openvpn daemon to port 1194 on your router. In Ubuntu, OpenVPN can be installed from the package manager. This should install the OpenVPN packages. To start the OpenVPN daemon. Sudo service openvpn start. If you want to install the daemon from the source code, use the following commands: sudo apt-get install git. Git clone. Cd openvpn. Sudo ./build To add the server's certificate to the client's key store, edit the file /etc/openvpn/server. The following example configures the server to accept clients only from the 192.168.0/24 network.
# client configuration file. Dev tun. Proto udp. Remote 1194. Resolv-retry infinite. Nobind. Persist-key. Persist-tun. Ca ca.crt cert server.crt key server.key dh2048.pem tls-auth ta.key 0 # Use this line if you don't have a .
