OpenVPN在安全性上比PPTP，L2TP和IPsec都高，因为它通过三个证书的安全验证，实现了整个通信链路的完整加密。
安装步骤：
一、首先检查VPS上的tun设备是否可用，如果不可用需要联系客服打开，否则OpenVPN无法启用。
通过root用户登陆，执行
#cat /dev/net/tun
cat: /dev/net/tun: File descriptor in bad state
如果现实结果如上所示，则表示tun设备可用，其它则表示设备异常，无法安装OpenVPN。
二、下载安装所需软件包：
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/epel/5/i386/pkcs11-helper-devel-1.07-2.el5.1.i386.rpm
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/epel/5/i386/pkcs11-helper-1.07-2.el5.1.i386.rpm
wget http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/lzo-2.04.tar.gz
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.net/community/releases/openvpn-2.1.4.tar.gz
三、使用yum安装程序所需开发包
yum install -y openssl openssl-devel automake pkgconfig iptables
四、安装OpenVPN服务端
1.安装pkcs11-helper RPM包
rpm -ivh pkcs11-helper-1.07-2.el5.1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh pkcs11-helper-devel-1.07-2.el5.1.i386.rpm
2.安装 LZO
tar zxvf lzo-2.04.tar.gz
cd lzo-2.04/
./configure –prefix=/opt/lzo
make
make check
make install
cd ../
3.安装 OpenVPN
tar zxvf openvpn-2.1.4.tar.gz
cd openvpn-2.1.4
./configure –prefix=/opt/openvpn –with-lzo-headers=/opt/lzo/include –with-lzo-lib=/opt/lzo/lib –with-ssl-headers=/usr/include/openssl –with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib
make
make install
然后，下面就开始key证书文件的创建，总共需要创建三个，即ca，server key，client key。
4.生成证书Key
cp -r easy-rsa /opt/openvpn/
cd /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/
vim export_new_var
export D=`pwd`
export KEY_CONFIG=$D/openssl.cnf
export KEY_DIR=$D/keys
export KEY_SIZE=1024
export KEY_COUNTRY=CN #国家
export KEY_PROVINCE=BJ #省份
export KEY_CITY=BJ #城市
export KEY_ORG=”btschina.com” #组织
export KEY_EMAIL=”root@btschina.com” #邮箱
source export_new_var
./clean-all
./build-ca

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter ‘.’, the field will be left blank.

如果想生成多个client key的话，重复以上步骤，修改client1为client2，client3……即可。
至此，所有的key都已经生成完毕，如果你想删除这些key，重新生成的话，执行以下命令。
source var
./clean-all
7.生成 Diffie Hellman 参数
./build-dh
8.将 keys 下的所有文件打包下载到本地
tar -cf keys.tar keys
9.创建服务端配置文件
vi /opt/openvpn/etc/server.conf
内容如下：
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
ca /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/ca.crt
cert /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.crt
key /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/server.key
dh /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/dh1024.pem
server 10.10.20.0 255.255.255.0
client-to-client
keepalive 10 120
comp-lzo
persist-key
persist-tun
status /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/openvpn-status.log
verb 4
push “dhcp-option DNS 10.10.20.1″
push “dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8″
push “dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4″
10.创建客户端配置文件
vi /opt/openvpn/etc/client.conf
内容如下
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 204.74.215.57 1194 #请换成自己ip
persist-key
persist-tun
ca /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/ca.crt
cert /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/client1.crt
key /opt/openvpn/easy-rsa/2.0/keys/client1.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
redirect-gateway def1
route-method exe
route-delay 2
12.设置 OpenVPN 服务器 reboot后自动启动 openvpn
vi /etc/rc.local
加入：
/opt/openvpn/sbin/openvpn –config /opt/openvpn/etc/server.conf > /dev/null 2>&1 &
运行OpenVPN服务端
/opt/openvpn/sbin/openvpn –config /opt/openvpn/etc/server.conf > /dev/null 2>&1 &
检查服务端是否启动
执行
netstat -lnp
如果看到有 0.0.0.0:1194 则证明服务端已经成功启动。
五、防火墙规则设置
1.开放OpenVPN服务器端口
iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m state –state NEW -m udp –dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
2.启用NAT映射，实现共享上网
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.10.20.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
3.开启数据转发
sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
六、OpenVPN GUI for Windows 客户端安装
1.下载并安装 .NET Framwork 3.5 SP1
由于OpenVPN客户端需要 .NET Framwork 3.5 SP1 以上的支持，所以很遗憾，我们不得不先安装它。
下载地址：http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/zh-cn/details.aspx?FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&DisplayLang=zh-cn
2.下载并安装OpenVPN客户端
下载地址：http://swupdate.openvpn.net/downloads/openvpn-client.msi
3.创建客户端配置文件
进入程序目录，C:Program FilesOpenVPN TechnologiesOpenVPN Clientetcprofile
创建配置文件client.ovpn，内容如下：
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote 204.74.215.57 1194 #请换成自己ip
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert client1.crt
key client1.key
ns-cert-type server
comp-lzo
verb 3
redirect-gateway def1
route-method exe
route-delay 2
4.将所需的证书等文件放入客户端目录
将之前压缩的keys.tar压缩文件解压，并将目录下的所有文件移动到目录：
C:Program FilesOpenVPN TechnologiesOpenVPN Clientetcprofile
5.启动OpenVPN客户端
启动OpenVPN客户端软件，点击添加连接配置，选择本地文件导入，然后导入刚刚创建的client.ovpn文件。
如下图所示：
然后界面上会出现一个Client1选项，点击即可登录
登录成功
至此，整个OpenVPN的安装过程就已经完成了，如果你也是国外的VPS主机的话，那就开始体验翻过GFW的快乐吧。
七、卸载OpenVPN
如果你觉得OpenVPN用起来太过于麻烦或其它原因想卸载OpenVPN，那么，请执行以下操作。
killall openvpn
rpm -e pkcs11-helper-1.07-2.el5.1.i386.rpm
rpm -e pkcs11-helper-devel-1.07-2.el5.1.i386.rpm
rm -rf /opt/lzo
rm -rf /opt/openvpn
