OpenVPN secure configuration script
Awesome script to automatically configure OpenVPN on your VPS. The only one you'll need. Consistently updated. Handles LES plans with IPv6.
https://github.com/Angristan/OpenVPN-install
I modified the options and some of the config files to my liking (use 4096 bit keys, SHA-512, add OpenNIC DNS servers, auth-nocache, comp-lzo adaptive, etc.), but can be used well straight outta the box.
Enjoy!

Awesome language to write shitty applications. The only one you'll need. Consistently updated, never stops being shitty.
http://www.php.net/
I modified the options and php.ini file to my liking (even more shitty), but can be used well straight outta the box.
Enjoy!
NYR is the original I believe. Ang adapted it.
I read up on many of the specific parameters and I didn't find many of the guides explained them well. The script also does everything for you.
Gotta love people running stuff they don't understand. Even more when inviting other people to use the same braindead solution they did.
You don't like it?
Easier to write crappy PHP code.
Java: System.out.println(“Hello, world”);
VS
PHP: echo “Hello, world!”
Totally lost me there. Unless you're saying I don't know enough to configure manually? Ever hear of automating things you do often to save time? Shell scripts are easy to write and easy to understand and work very well. Require no installs.
Again, you guys lost me. Would love to see how you configure your VPNs
No shit sherlok. PHP works very well also.
Who is this Stan you talk about? And why is he so angry?
Security MAN, the fork is more SECURE.
Yea i saw they use standard DH and RSA key.. Maybe i'll do a PR for it
It's a shame that @Nyr is no longer around.
"I strongly suggest you to stay away from the @Angristan fork: it is buggy, insecure and badly maintained. He's putting users at risk and he either can't or don't want to see it. I'm honestly ashamed that my work has been vandalized like that by someone who claims to have "improved" it."

This is from a year ago so I appreciate that it may no longer be the case.
It's time to fork!
Filthy Frank. Jesus. I haven't seen him in years.

Honest question. What's the advantage of using a script?
oic,
well then . . .
What's the advantage of running stuff you don't understand?
By all means, if you want to setup a box like that, at least use something well-maintained. E.g. https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand
try softether instead......
Not completely "sold" on it yet.
Deploying this soon. More than I need though.
I hadn't seen that! Thanks for the background. I've edited the options so I'd rather happy with it now. Will compare the scripts again.
If it's your own script, or something you've setup, well- it just takes care of the simple stuff for you so you don't run each command manually.
Having no fucking clue what to do when it doesn't run.
+1 Softether is really good...
I am sad @Nyr hasn't been here in over a year :-(
I miss @Nyr too.
I'm sad @BarbaraStreisand has never been here
