OpenVPN solution for OpenVZ?
Hi all
I have been trying to get some appliance templates for OpenVZ and have made 1-2 myself as well.
Now I am on to a VPN template. And have been stuck miserably in finding a solution. Most of my clients are actually buying VPS for providing VPN services to their clients. So I am looking for a template for OpenVPN/any other VPN platform for OpenVZ.
I have had a look at EasyOpenVPN template and 1-2 other installers which didn't quite work.
Also had a look at touchvps but they don't seem reliable.
I am using SolusVM right now. Can someone suggest me an ideal solution for it? Even if I have to pay for the template it's ok, as long as it works fine...
Btw, Proxmox(OpenVZ) templates do work just fine on Solus more often than not. I have found a lot of those created in Proxmox work fine on SolusVM.

If you're lazy you can install OpenVPN AS, which includes a web management interface.

Is it possible to install on Linux CentOS?
Yes, it is possible.
For, CentOS 6.4 X64
What ? Asking the question and then responding to yourself
I found the solution, so I'm sharing
Hmm. I have heard a bit about OpenVPN AS. But after installing it, I suppose you need to do some more configuration for setting up a proper VPS with the config file and certificate for client to use. Right?
Nope, it's all done for you. Go to the login URL (https://yourip:943/) and you can download the .ovpn profile to use in an OpenVPN client.
Hmm ok. So I was playing around with it. I was able to connect to the VPN. But I can't browse the net. Are there any more commands that have to be given in order to get the internet working?
Probably something to do with your IPtables rules. Have you set any?
No not really. I didn't change any IPtable rule. I thought OpenVPN AS takes care of it.
Do I need to make any changes?
The output of iptables -L -t nat -n is following:
So I stand clueless right now. I don't mind giving someone the VPS access. It is a test VPS anyways.
I've never had to mess around with iptables when using OpenVPN AS.
Did you change the DNS server to Google public DNS for example ?
If not here we go: Admin panel -> Configuration -> VPN Settings -> DNS Settings -> Have clients use these DNS servers: and put your favorite working dns here.
That's all.
Well. It worked. I just recreated the VPS and reinstalled it. And it worked! Weird why it didn't work last time...
Since I don't know how to setup inithooks(like in Turnkey Appliances), I guess I'll leave it till the part where the VPS client will just have to run the command to install the AS.
Just wondering, are there are any other alternatives to OpenVPN and PPTP?
L2TP (w/ IPSEC / SWAN), Tinc, TVPN, SoftEther (based off of L2TP), SSTP, Cisco Systems VPN / Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility, LogMeIn Hamachi,
