Getting ready
OpenVPN is not part of most Linux distributions. You can install it using your package manager:
apt-get install openvpn
Alternatively, this command can also be used:
yum install openvpn
Note that you'll need to do this on the server and each client.
Confirm that the tunnel device (/dev/net/tun) exists. Test this on server and client systems. On modern Linux systems, the tunnel should already exist:
ls /dev/net/tun
