Create OpenVPN® Server
Click on "ON" to enable the OpenVPN Server.
Enter a name for the OpenVPN® server.
Choose the server mode the OpenVPN® server will operate with.
4 modes are available:
●
SSL:
Authentication is made using certi cates only (no user/pass authentication). Each user has a unique client
con guration that includes their personal certi cate and key. This is useful if clients should not be prompted to
enter a username and password, but it is less secure as it relies only on something the user has (TLS key and
certi cate).
●
User Authentication:
Authentication is made using only CA, user and password, no certi cates. Useful if the
clients should not have individual certi cates. Less secure as it relies on a shared TLS key plus only something
the user knows (Username/password).
●
SSL + User Authentication:
Requires both certi cate and username / password. Each user has a unique client
con guration that includes their personal certi cate and key.
●
PSK:
Used to establish a point-to-point OpenVPN® con guration. A VPN tunnel will be created with a server
endpoint of a speci ed IP and a client endpoint of speci ed IP. Encrypted communication between client and
server will occur over UDP port 1194, the default OpenVPN® port. Most secure as there are multiple factors of
authentication (TLS Key and Certi cate that the user has, and the username/password they know).
Choose the Transport protocol from the dropdown list, either TCP or UDP.
The default protocol is UDP.
