How to open OpenVPN Web GUI?
I need to open OpenVPN Web GUI on a server. I have already installed and configured OpenVPN. I am able to access it from the client with OpenVPN GUI interface, which is running on a machine of my router(192.168.0.1).
But how do I access this OpenVPN server on my network and which port number should be open for client to connect to it? Your client has its own IP address. The server's IP address can be found in the server's configuration file as the 'server' directive. I believe it defaults to 443.
If your router is 192.1, then you can find the server's IP address in the server's configuration file as the 'server' directive.
How do I install OpenVPN GUI on Windows?
You can install OpenVPN GUI on Windows using the official Ubuntu Software Center.
Steps to Install OpenVPN GUI on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.10
Install Required Dependencies. Sudo apt-get install libpam0g sudo apt-get install openvpn-asn1. OpenVPN GUI requires the libraries of openvpn-asn1 in order to work. Therefore, these are the packages you need to install.
Create a Tunnel With OpenVPN GUI. Login to your VPN, using the credentials you provided in the GUI. Click on the settings icon (gear button) in the upper right corner. Click on ''Network Settings''. In the VPN connection type section click the 'Create new connection' button. It'll take some time for the Ubuntu system to create the new VPN connection. The VPN connection takes about 5 seconds to create.
Once the VPN connection is created, it's time to generate the key for it. We'll do this in the ''Configure VPN'' section.
Right click on the VPN icon on the notification tray and select ''Configure VPN'' from the pop up menu. Fill out the details for the connection you created previously. You need to ensure that the Host name is set as 127. Click on the ''Advanced'' option to see where you can edit this setting.
Edit the host name entry. Now we have configured everything, click the ''Test Connection'' button in the Connect VPN window. This will test the connection between your Windows system and OpenVPN GUI client, and if the connection is working correctly then you will be able to see the green Connected banner in the upper left corner of the window. When the system has finished testing, click the ''Test Connection'' button again. This time, the green banner will disappear indicating that the connection is disconnected.
Now all that's left is to restart the openvpn service on Ubuntu and start the OpenVPN GUI. Sudo service openvpn restart && openvpn.
