Some scripts to (partially) automate creating an OpenVPN server on Digital Ocean.
These scripts go along with a YouTube video series.
Once you have a have a DigitalOcean droplet up-and-running (should be Ubuntu 16.04), the process is pretty simple:
Get "initialserversetup.sh" onto the droplet. This can be done with
wget https://anorman728.com/vpnsetup/initialserversetup.shor by whatever method you like.Run the "initialiserversetup.sh" file with something like
sudo bash initialserversetup.sh.Follow the on-screen instructions.
Log out, then log back in as the new user that was created while running initialserversetup.sh.
Get "vpnsetup.sh" onto the droplet. This can be done with
wget https://anorman728.com/vpnsetup/vpnsetup.shor by whatever method you like.Run "vpnsetup.sh" with something like
sudo bash vpnsetup.sh.Follow the on-screen instructions.
The script creates an OVPN file in the /root directory. Get that file off of the server using sftp and you should be able to use it with an OpenVPN client.
