# Create CA. Just press Enter multiple times
./build-ca
# Create server certificate. Just pass all with Enter except last two requests.
# IMPORTANT! You need to answer "y" on "Sign the certificate?" and "1 out of 1 certificate requests certified, commit?"
./build-key-server server
# Create DH file
./build-dh
# Copy keys
cp ./keys/server.crt ./keys/server.key ./keys/ca.crt ./keys/dh2048.pem /etc/openvpn/
## Configure server
# Copy contents of this server.conf above
# Close nano with Ctrl+O
nano /etc/openvpn/server.conf
# Run service
service openvpn restart
## Create client certificate
# You can pass all with Enter except last two.

## Enable NAT forwarding if disabled
# first of all enable it in current session

# Now uncomment "net.ipv4.ip_forward=1" in sysctl config so this applied after each restart

# Check status of forwarding and make sure it's return "1"
## Now you configure NAT for OpenVPN subnet
# Run following commands to apply forwarding rules before restart

iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.9.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
# Now copy exactly same 3 lines into /etc/rc.local so rule will be set on each startup.
# Lines have to be before "exit 0" line
