Hi, The Debian 9 (stretch), Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) and Ubuntu 18.04 (bionic) repositories for OpenVPN 3 Linux is now available!
Installing the OpenVPN 3 Linux client ===================================== First ensure that your apt supports the https transport: # apt install apt-transport-https Install the OpenVPN repository key used by the OpenVPN 3 Linux packages # wget https://swupdate.openvpn.net/repos/openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub # apt-key add openvpn-repo-pkg-key.pub Then you need to install the proper repository. Replace $DISTRO with stretch, xenial or bionic, depending on your Debian/Ubuntu distribution. # wget -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/openvpn3.list https://swupdate.openvpn.net/community/openvpn3/repos/openvpn3-$DISTRO.list # apt update And finally the openvpn3 package can be installed # apt install openvpn3 Using the OpenVPN 3 Linux client ================================ With all this in place, you can now start VPN tunnels, even as an unprivileged user, using the openvpn2 and openvpn3 command line interfaces: # openvpn2 --config $MY_CONFIGURATION_FILE --verb 6 or # openvpn3 session-start --config $MY_CONFIGURATION_FILE If the configuration profile contains --daemon or you used the openvpn3 approach, you can stop the tunnel like this: # openvpn3 session-manage --config $MY_CONFIGURATION_FILE --disconnect For more information, see the man pages for openvpn2, openvpn3 and openvpn3-linux as starting points. Both openvpn2 and openvpn3 also provides --help screens, and openvpn3 also provides that for each "command" you give to it, like openvpn3 session-manage --help. If you have any questions, issues, comments, suggestions, etc ... please get in touch! -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Inc
