How to Install OpenVPN on Ubuntu 18.04

In this article, we will go over step-by-step instructions on how to install OpenVPN on an Ubuntu 18.04 VPS.

A Virtual Private Network or VPN for short is a networking service that routes your network traffic through a server.

The destination address can’t know your real location, thus providing both privacy and safety online. VPNs are also used by corporations and enterprise environments to enable a secure private network to protect their important data.

OpenVPN is a VPN protocol which defines how the data is transmitted over a VPN. Other common protocols are PTP, L2TP, SSTP, and IKEV2.

OpenVPN provides the most secure connection among other protocols as it provides secure authentication (such as the use of certificates and keys) as well as using up-to-date encryption algorithms. On top of this, OpenVPN is open-source software powered by thousands of developers from different communities. It is distributed under the GNU GPL license. Let’s begin with the installation.
