OpenVPN Access Server is a full featured SSL VPN software solution thatintegrates OpenVPN server capabilities, enterprise management capabilities,simplified OpenVPN Connect UI, and OpenVPN Client software packages thataccommodate Windows, MAC, and Linux OS environments. OpenVPN Access Serversupports a wide range of configurations, including secure and granular remoteaccess to internal network and/ or private cloud network resources andapplications with fine-grained access control.
To deploy the charm, you will first need a bootstrapped Juju environment and,at a minimum, capacity for one additional machine.
Deploy openvpn-as to a bootstrapped environment:
It is recommended that you change the default password for the instance:
Finally, expose the service:
You can then browse to https://ip-address-or-fqdn/admin to configureOpenVPN-AS. The username and password by default are 'openvpn/openvpn-as'. Ifyou set the password as recommended above, then use that password instead ofthe default.
The easiest way to establish a connection to the VPN is to authenticate viathe login page at https://ip-address-or-fqdn. U232 P9 Driver Windows 10 64 Bit - mexicofert.netlify.app. This will give access to clientpackages and config files needed for client connections.
Basic Linux Client Usage
To connect to the VPN using a Linux distribution, the openvpn package isrequired on the client. Then you may login to the OpenVPN-AS web client anddownload a configuration for your user. Run the OpenVPN client with thedownloaded configuration and you should see a connection established. Beloware the common steps to install an use the OpenVPN client with the downloadedconfig file 'client.ovpn':
Basic Windows and Mac Usage
To connect to the VPN with a Windows or Mac OS, a client executable isavailable from the web portal once successfully authenticated. Clients will beprompted to download the client and continue.
Advanced Linux Client Usage with NetworkManager
To import a VPN configuration into NetworkManager, the NetworkManager OpenVPNpackage must be installed and the client keys and certficates as well as CAcertificate must be extracted from the OpenVPN-AS server. In order to do this,you must know the machine number running the OpenVPN-AS service. For thisexample, we will assume the machine number is '1' and the client is 'johndoe'.
This process uses the OpenVPN-AS script to get the user certificate, key,client config file, CA certificate and TLS key then creates a tarball in thedefault user's home directory. Now copy the certificate to your computer forredistribution and delete the original file:
For instructions on how to import the downloaded files into NetworkManager,reference the following article: http://bit.ly/15dVReF
There are a number of configuration options available via the charm. Most ofthe options, however, can be modified using the OpenVPN-AS Admin UI, but areprovided in the charm as a means of convenience and rapid deployment.
By default, the username is 'openvpn' and PAM is used as the authenticationbackend. These options can be changed via the OpenVPN-AS Admin UI and are leftat their default settings in order to ensure a low barrier to deployment.OpenVPN defaults to this username, and this username can be disabled if desired.
FQDN
The FQDN of the service will default to the public address of the machine it isdeployed on. The FQDN is referenced in the client configuration downloaded byclients connecting to the VPN. The VPN will not be able to establish a successfulconnection until the FQDN correctly resolves to the OpenVPN-AS service.
Password
This option sets the password on the service for the 'openvpn' admin user.
Port
The port configuration option determines the port used to manage, log in, andconnect to the service. When the port is changed, any prior downloadedconfigurations will need to be reconfigured for each client previously usingthe service.
Client Network
The client network option configures the network used when assigning VPNclients addresses. If you're home or corporate network use the same range asthe default, then you may consider changing it to an alternate network range.

Starting with January 20th of 2019, our licensing system will have been updated to increase security and to enhance the licensing system for new licensing options in the future. As such it is important to either update your Access Server to version 2.6.1 or newer, or if you wish to continue using an older version (which by the way is not recommended for security reasons) apply a licensing patch to your existing Access Server. This can even be done on a running Access Server without stopping it.
If you try to activate a new license key or a renewal license key on an outdated and unpatched OpenVPN Access Server after January 20th of 2019, you will see an error message. To resolve that, follow the instructions to either upgrade your Access Server to the latest version, or apply the licensing patch.
See this security advisory for more information about the licensing system changes:
Please note that activation a license key does not mean you get to keep the 2 connections in the demonstration mode. The demonstration mode ends when you activate a license key on the Access Server, and only the stated amount on the license key takes effect then. For example if you are testing the Access Server without a license key, and you are allowed to connect 2 devices simultaneously to it, and you then activate a purchased license key for 10 connections, then you can then connect 10 devices to the Access Server, not 12.
Also please note that when you activate a BYOL type license key, it then becomes non-refundable as per our license agreement you agreed upon when purchasing and when installing the Access Server. We are mentioning this specifically because there is every opportunity to test the Access Server without purchasing and activating a license key.
First of all go to the web interface of your Access Server. If you are unfamiliar with how to access it, your Access Server is accessible using a web browser at the IP address or DNS address that you set up for your server. For example if you’ve only just set up your server then open your web browser and access it by its IP address. If your server’s IP address is 192.168.70.222 then you should be able to reach your Access Server admin web interface at https://192.168.70.222/admin
If you try to open that address now it will most likely not work because it’s a made-up number. You should find out what the IP address of your Access Server is, and use that to contact your Access Server’s web interface. If you haven’t set a password for your web interface yet, set one with the command:
Please note that this assumes you have SSH access to your server and can run commands on the command line interface. Airport utility for mac 6.3.4. If you are not able to reach the admin web interface of your Access Server or you haven’t set up an OpenVPN Access Server yet, we recommend that you read the following articles first to get you started, before you continue with this guide.

Once you are able to load the admin web interface web pages you can continue with these steps. There are pictures provided to aid you in the steps you should follow, simply click the links below to show them:
- Once you are on the admin web interface, you have to login as an administrative user. The default is openvpn.
- Once you are in the admin web interface you will see the status overview page.
- In the menu on the left, click on License. On this page you can enter a new license key to activate'
- Click the Add A New License Key button to activate it. If all goes well, your license key will now be activated.
It’s also possible to activate a license key on the command line. Solar putty for mac. To do so make sure you are logged on to your OpenVPN Access Server’s operating system on the console or through SSH, and that you have root permissions. Then follow these commands to do the desired tasks.

If you have any problems with activation a license key, we advise that you consult the licensing troubleshooting page, as most problems are addressed there.
The OpenVPN Access Server is currently available in 2 different licensing models. There is on Amazon AWS the pre-licensed tiered instances, that come in a number of different sizes in terms of amount of simultaneous devices you can connect to it, and it is available in a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) licensing model. When you use the Amazon AWS pre-licensed tiered instances, they get licensed automatically through the Amazon AWS systems and you are billed directly by Amazon itself. On the BYOL licensing model, you install the Access Server on your own systems and you purchase a license key on our website, which you can use on your Access Server to unlock the amount of connections mentioned on your license key.
This guide here explains how to activate a BYOL licensing model license key on your own Access Server. For Amazon AWS pre-licensed tiered instances that are automatically licensed through the Amazon AWS systems itself, you do not need this guide as it does not apply to that situation. This guide is only for the BYOL license model license keys.
For more information about the licensing models and pricing, check this article:
Please note that purchasing a license version of Access Server is not necessary if you just want to try it out. If you install the OpenVPN Access Server on your own systems you can skip the question for a license key, and it will allow full functionality, but only 2 devices can be connected simultaneously until you do decide to install a license key. Furthermore, on Amazon AWS we have a 7-day free trial version available on the AWS Marketplace that allows even 5 connections. If you terminate that before the end of the 7-day free trial, you don’t get charged for the software costs for the Amazon OpenVPN Access Server instance.
