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:
- Download the files here and save them in your /home/username folder (where username is your main users name)(to download, right click > save as):
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.
