OpenVPN is an open-source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities.
Summary
This article contains various OpenVPN configuration examples that require more in depth explanations in order to achieve a successful configuration. All of the examples given concern two or more RUT routers. For more basic explanations on the OpenVPN WebUI section, visit our VPN manual page.
TLS Authentication
This section provides a guide on how to configure a successful OpenVPN connection between an OpenVPN Client and Server, using the TLS Authentication method on RUT routers.
Generating TLS certificates/keys
A connection that uses TLS requires multiple certificates and keys for authentication:
* Server: ** A root certificate file (Cetificate Authority) ** Server certificate ** Server key ** Diffie Hellman Parameters
* Client ** Client certificate ** Client key
Detailed instruction on how to obtain these files can be found here.
