If you haven't already, you can install the OpenVPN package on your Raspberry Pi by executing the following command: npm install -g openvpn. By default, it will install the OpenVPN service inside the folder /usr/local/bin .

How to add OpenVPN in Linux?

I am using Linux mint 17 for my Ubuntu and I want to add OpenVPN to my system.

But I have no idea how to install the VPN client. I am following the instruction on the site. But, it seems that my computer is doing something at the time of executing the following command
Sudo apt-get install openvpn. But, I just get this in the terminal. Reading package lists. Done Building dependency tree. Reading state information. Done Package openvpn is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or. Is only available from another source. E: Package 'openvpn' has no installation candidate. You need to enable backports, run: echo "deb bsid main" > /etc/apt/sources.d/backports.list
Echo "deb-src bsid main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update. After a minute or so you should be able to install packages from backports.
