VPN Client - Linux

The VPN client for Linux comes with the OpenVPN. It's invoked with a script.

Save this script to a file called myvpn.conf. It should be saved in your users home folder (eg /home/joe). Replacing XYZ for the nickname of the HDA you are trying to connect to:

      remote XYZ.yourhda.com 1194
      client
      dev tun
      proto udp
      resolv-retry infinite
      nobind
      persist-key
      persist-tun
      ca ca-cert.crt
      cert AmahiHDAClient.crt
      key AmahiHDAClient.key
      comp-lzo
      verb 3
      auth-user-pass

Be sure to also have a copy of the certificate files using the same names as the ca, cert, and key lines above:

Then, as root, run the openvpn client software:

    cd /home/username 
    openvpn --config myvpn.conf 

Many messages should scroll by on your terminal screen and you should be requested for your username and password. Enter your HDA username here.
