Digital Ocean OpenVPN | An Introduction

by | May 25, 2022

Digital Ocean OpenVPN is a great way to take advantage of VPN while using unknown Wifi networks or while traveling. 

At Bobcares, we offer solutions for every query, big and small, as a part of our Server Management Services.

Let’s take a look at how our Digital Ocean Support Team is ready to help customers with Digital Ocean OpenVPN.

An Introduction to Digital Ocean OpenVPN

A VPN offers protection while using untrusted WIFI networks or while traveling. It directs traffic through an encrypted tunnel. In other words, the Virtual Private Network or VPN allows us to create a secure connection across the public internet to a private network.

OpenVPN is a commercial VPN software that implements VPN techniques. We can also set up OpenVPN on Digital Ocean with a little help from our experts.

  1. To begin with, we have to sign up for a Digital Ocean account.
  2. Then, log in to the Digital Ocean OpenVPN account and head to Create > Droplets to create a droplet.

  3. We have to choose a plan that meets our requirements and select a region that is the closest to our location.
  4. Then, navigate to the Manage panel and head to Droplets > Click on your droplet.
  5. Then, log on via SSH and enter the following command to set a password for the Access Server:
    passwd openvpn
  6. Next, enter the address of the server in a web browser. If we see SSL certificate warnings, ignore them and proceed.
  7. Finally, log on with the username openvpn and the password from the earlier step.

After the above process of setting up Digital Ocean OpenVPN, we have to head to https://droplet_IP and download a suitable version of the client for our OS.

Once the installation is over, open the Access Profile and log in with the username and password we set in the User Permissions tables.
