Setup a GCP cloud Instance
- Create a GCP cloud instance and open the preferred port by going into the firewall and setting up the Inbound rules for that port.
- The preferred port is UDP port 1194 as it is the default used by the openvpn server.
- If you plan to go with your own choice of ports, remember it as it will be used later.
Paste the below command in your terminal
1
wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh
Follow Instructions on terminal
- Follow on with the steps given by the setup script.
- At the appropriate prompt enter the chosen protocol and port. The default will be UDP port 1194. Change it if you had decided to use other port.
- Generate the .ovpn key files at the appropriate prompt.
Generate .ovpn later in time
- Later if you want to regenerate the .ovpn files rerun the above script and proceed with the prompt.
