Title: Install on GNU/Linux
|
|
|
|
With NetworkManager
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
*WARNING*: **This method requires a very recent NetworkManager.
|
|
Older versions will not work or may be insecure.**
|
|
It has not been tested as much as the classic one and may not work on your system.
|
|
It is known to work with an up to date Arch Linux and Linux Mint 17 or later.
|
|
**If you are not sure about it, choose the other methods**
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install OpenVPN and the NetworkManager plugin with your package manager.
|
|
|
|
- *Debian*: `sudo apt-get install install openvpn resolvconf network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome`
|
|
- *Fedora*: `sudo yum install openvpn networkmanager-openvpn`
|
|
- *Arch Linux*: `sudo pacman -S openvpn networkmanager-openvpn`
|
|
|
|
2. Download the .ovpn file you need in [your account](/account/config) and put
|
|
it in `/etc/openvpn/` .
|
|
ie: `/etc/openvpn/ccrypto.conf`
|
|
|
|
3. [Download the ca.crt file](https://vpn.ccrypto.org/ca.crt) and put it in `/etc/openvpn/` aswell.
|
|
|
|
4. Create the NetworkManager profile:
|
|
|
|
- Create a new OpenVPN connection. This highly depends on your environment:
|
|
- *Mint*: Left click on the Network icon in the Control Panel> Network Connections> Add
|
|
- Select "Import a saved VPN configuration"
|
|
- Select your ccrypto-\*.conf config file from the /etc/openvpn/ directory
|
|
- Select "password authentication" as the authentication type
|
|
- Enter your CCrypto username and password.
|
|
- Select the ca.crt you saved into /etc/openvpn as the CA Certificate and click "Save".
|
|
|
|
5. Your VPN is now ready to use with NetworkManager.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With systemd (Arch, Fedora 16 or later, Debian 8 or later, ...)
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install OpenVPN with your package manager.
|
|
|
|
- Debian: `sudo apt-get install install openvpn`
|
|
- Fedora: `sudo yum install openvpn`
|
|
- Arch Linux: `sudo pacman -S openvpn`
|
|
|
|
2. Download the .ovpn file you need in [your account](/account/config) and put
|
|
it in `/etc/openvpn/` .
|
|
ie: `/etc/openvpn/ccrypto.conf`
|
|
|
|
3. Start the OpenVPN service:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl start openvpn@ccrypto
|
|
|
|
4. *(Optional)* To make OpenVPN start at boot,
|
|
create a text file anywhere and write your username and
|
|
password inside, on two lines.
|
|
Then, add at the end of your ccrypto.conf file:
|
|
|
|
auth-user-pass /path/to/the/file.txt
|
|
|
|
And enable the systemd service :
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable openvpn@ccrypto
|
|
|
|
For additional security, you can make sure only root is be able to access this file:
|
|
|
|
sudo chown root:root /path/to/the/file.txt
|
|
sudo chmod 600 /path/to/the/file.txt
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Without systemd (Debian before 8.0, ...)
