How To : Setup a VPN Server on a CentOS VPS Instantly

I really found this article very useful so let me share this with you.

This was originally posted by VPSNOC. If you are using Debian/Ubuntu VPS use this GUIDE.

We have made a small and dirty bash script which installs and configures OpenVPN on CentOS 5 32bit. The VPN server’s primary (and only) use is for safe browsing i.e. tunneling all your traffic through your VPS. The script also generates your client configuration file along with the necessary keys for authentication.

Requirements :
1. CentOS 5 32bit minimal OS template
2. TUN/TAP device enabled on your VPS
3. ipTables NAT support

Login to your VPS as root and execute the following commands :

wget http://vpsnoc.com/scripts/install-openvpn.sh
chmod +x install-openvpn.sh
./install-openvpn.sh
