5.1.6.1 OpenVPN
Install an OpenVPN Server or subscribe to the appropriate service. NetModule provides OpenVPN servers
as hardware or as hosted service.
If you have your own OpenVPN server the first step in building an OpenVPN 2.0 configuration is to estab-
lish a PKI (public key infrastructure). The PKI consists of:

a separate certificate (also known as a public key) and private key for the server and each client,
and

a master Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and key which is used to sign each of the server and
client certificates.
Prepare the OpenVPN certificate files. Use the tools and documentation that come with the OpenVPN
software. A Guide to basic RSA Key Management is found under
For alternative authentication methods see

Please make sure that the NetBox system time is correct when working with OpenVPN. Otherwise au-
thentication issues may arise.
