Example Configuration for direct peer to peer

  • Replace <PEER_NAME> with a self chosen name to identify this peer
  • Replace <PROTO> with either udp or udp6, depending if you reach your remote peer with ipv4 o ipv6
  • Replace <REMOTE_HOST> with the public ip address of your peer
  • Replace <REMOTE_PORT> with the port number, where your peer's openvpn daemon listen for traffic
  • Replace <LOCAL_HOST> with your public ip
  • Replace <INTERFACE_NAME> with a self chosen name, this will be the name of your network interface (tun device) for this peering
  • Replace <LOCAL_GATEWAY_IP> with your own dn42 ip address
  • Replace <REMOTE_GATEWAY_IP> with dn42 ip address of your peer
  • <LOCAL_GATEWAY_IPV6> <REMOTE_GATEWAY_IPV6> same as ipv4, but both ip addresses needs to be in the same subnet. For simplicity you can always use an address from link-local ipv6 range (fe80::/64)
#/etc/openvpn/<PEER_NAME>

# The secret can also be included inline with the config by 
#   wrapping it in <secret></secret> tags.
# <secret>
# ... Key File contents go here ...
# </secret>

then create a new key and share it with your peer

$ openvpn --genkey --secret /etc/openvpn/<PEER_NAME>.key

  • Notice the local gateway ip of your peer is your remote gateway ip and his remote gateway is your local gateway
  • <REMOTE_HOST> is the ip address of your peer
  • <REMOTE_PORT> is openvpn port, where your peer listen for traffic

Example configuration for connecting roaming clients to dn42

Clients connect using certificates, and simply get attributed dn42 IPs in the order they connect. This is useful for roaming clients, where you don't really care which IP you have. Note that once a client has connected for the first time, it will keep the same IP on subsequent connections (option ifconfig-pool-persist).

Server configuration

Replace <PORT> with the UDP port you want OpenVPN to listen to, and change the IP ranges (ifconfig and route-gateway options).

mode server
tls-server

dh dh2048.pem
cipher aes-256-cbc

ca keys/ca.crt
cert keys/roaming-dn42.crt
key keys/roaming-dn42.key

Client configuration

Change <SERVER> and <PORT>.

client

ca   ca.crt
cert myclient.crt
key  myclient.key

dev tun
proto udp6
cipher aes-256-cbc

remote <SERVER> <PORT>

tun-mtu 1500

route-delay 2
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun

Certificate management

Use easy-rsa, it's easy to use. Below is a very short description, find a real tutorial if you don't know how it works.

Build the CA: . vars, ./build-ca, then generate the server key: ./build-key-server roaming-dn42.

Then, for each client, generate a private key and a certificate: ./build-key myclient. The Common Name is the only important information (it will be used to identify the client, for instance in the logs).
