Install OpenVPN for Raspbian
This guide was created for Raspbian Buster Lite but also works to set up an OpenVPN client on Raspbian Buster with desktop.
1. Update the Raspberry Pi
sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgrade
2. Install OpenVPN
sudo apt-get install openvpn unzip
3. Make sure the time zone is correct
Run the command below and go through the configuration prompt to select the correct time zone.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
4. Elevate your privileges to root
sudo -i
5. Download configuration file
Move the downloaded .ovpn file to OpenVPN folder
6. Enter your login credentials
echo "**CHANGE TO YOUR USERNAME**" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials
echo "**CHANGE TO YOUR PASSWORD**" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials
7. Start OpenVPN and see that everything works
sudo openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/clroom.conf --daemon
8. Verify that the connection was successful
Wait for about a minute after running the last command, then run:
The service you should check is openvpn@NAME where NAME is the name of your configuration file (without the ".conf"). So if your openvpn configuration file is /etc/openvpn/clroom.conf you should use command as below.
systemctl status openvpn@clroom
9. Done
Congratulations! Now your Raspberry Pi is connected to CloudLAN Room.
