Therefore, we will create a directory ovpn in the folder /config/auth/ in order to store client's openvpn configuration file, a certificate with a public key, the private key and certificate of the CA:Ĭonfigure hostname. The content of the directory /config persists even after VyOS image upgrade. The goal of this part is to configure network devices and the hosts in our topology with IP addresses in order to ensure network connectivity and enable required services, such as SSH.

#Clearos openvpn client download software#
Software installed on Host OS (Kubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic) It only reconnects the Server, Client1,2 and SOHO routers and it is not loaded with configuration.Ĭheck the list of used software and hardware below to get overall insight into what is needed to setup network infrastructure.
Note: A network device Inet is L2 Cisco switch. In our scenario, SOHO router can't be loaded with OpenVPN configuration so the tunnel is configured directly on the Client3. It is a VyOS router acting as SOHO router. The client is connected to the router SOHO. It is pre-installed Ubuntu VMDK image downloaded from. The OpenVPN client Client3 is Linux Ubuntu 18.04.1. It will be used for issuing the trusted certificate for the server and clients. For this purpose we are going to create a public key infrastructure (PKI), with the own certification authority running on the VyOS OpenVPN server.
The use of server-client VPNs in OpenVPN requires X.509 certificates to be setup. The third OpenVPN client is Ubuntu 18.04.1 (client3). The VyOS router severs as OpenVPN server, with two VyOS branch office routers acting as OpenVPN clients (client 1 and 2). The model allows to connect multiple remote clients to a single centralized server.
The tutorial provides configuration steps that help us to setup OpenVPN client/server model on GNS3.
