Title: Install on GNU/Linux
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### With NetworkManager
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install OpenVPN and the NetworkManager plugin with your package manager.
|
|
|
|
- *Debian*: `sudo apt-get 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. You will also need our CA certificate, available here: <https://vpn.ccrypto.org/ca.crt>
|
|
You can right click on that link and save the file or download it differently.
|
|
It will be required to connect, so make sure to not delete it later.
|
|
|
|
3. Create a new connection and choose the type *OpenVPN*.
|
|
|
|
4. You will need to fill in the following VPN configuration:
|
|
|
|
- **Tab VPN**
|
|
- **Gateway**: `gw.random.204vpn.net` for a random server, or pick one in the [server list](/status).
|
|
- **Type**: *Password*
|
|
- **User name** and **Password**: The same as on this site.
|
|
- **CA certificate**: The ca.crt file downloader in the previous step.
|
|
|
|
- **Tab VPN, click on Advanced, then the first General tab**
|
|
- **Use custom gateway port**: It should be *checked* and set to *1196*.
|
|
- **Use a TCP connection**: It should be *unchecked* to use the fastest UDP mode.
|
|
If you have issues connecting, you can try setting the port to *443* and checking this option.
|
|
- **Randomize remote hosts**: It should be *checked*.
|
|
- **IPv6 tun link**: It should be checked unless you get IPv6-related issues.
|
|
|
|
3. Save the new connection and connect to it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### 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 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, ...)
