Debian 8.1 OpenVPN Setup
After installing the latest Debian “Jessie” 8.1 and attempting to setup OpenVPN, I noticed a small issue with the OpenVPN Debian Wiki page. In step 2 of the Server Configuration section the information is no longer correct. After reading the /usr/share/doc/easy-rsa/README.Debian file it became apparent that rather than doing:
mkdir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa cp -ai /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/2.0/ /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa cd /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0 |
You need to do:
make-cadir /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/ |
and adjust the remaining instructions to not use /easy-rsa/2.0/ accordingly.
Not rocket science, but I figured I’d post since in my brain more people will Google a question rather than reading the documentation.
