这篇文档介绍利用Shell脚本，快速搭建OpenVPN服务器，为用户提供远程访问VPN。

OpenVPN是使用最广泛的开源VPN，开源往往意味着体验不是那么美好。如果通过源码安装OpenVPN，确实会比较繁琐，但是操作过程又具有重复性，所以非常适合使用脚本来操作。

一、OpenVPN服务器配置

1.1 启动OpenVPN服务器

使用Amazon Linux 2 AMI镜像。

使用较小的实例测试即可。

OpenVPN服务器默认使用UDP 1194端口。

1.2 使用脚本配置OpenVPN服务器

切换到root模式。

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]$ sudo -i

下载脚本文件。

[root@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]# curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angristan/openvpn-install/master/openvpn-install.sh

为脚本授权运行权限。

[root@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]# chmod +x openvpn-install.sh

运行脚本，如果虚拟机有多块网卡，需要设置侦听的IP地址。

[root@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]# ./openvpn-install.sh
Welcome to the OpenVPN installer!
The git repository is available at: https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install

I need to ask you a few questions before starting the setup.
You can leave the default options and just press enter if you are ok with them.

I need to know the IPv4 address of the network interface you want OpenVPN listening to.
Unless your server is behind NAT, it should be your public IPv4 address.
IP address: 172.31.32.219

设置公网拨号地址。

It seems this server is behind NAT. What is its public IPv4 address or hostname?
We need it for the clients to connect to the server.
Public IPv4 address or hostname: 52.83.11.64

不启动IPv6。

Checking for IPv6 connectivity...

Your host does not appear to have IPv6 connectivity.

Do you want to enable IPv6 support (NAT)? [y/n]: n

侦听1194端口。

What port do you want OpenVPN to listen to?
   1) Default: 1194
   2) Custom
   3) Random [49152-65535]
Port choice [1-3]: 1

使用UDP协议。

What protocol do you want OpenVPN to use?
UDP is faster. Unless it is not available, you shouldn't use TCP.
   1) UDP
   2) TCP
Protocol [1-2]: 1

设置推送的DNS服务器。

What DNS resolvers do you want to use with the VPN?
   1) Current system resolvers (from /etc/resolv.conf)
   2) Self-hosted DNS Resolver (Unbound)
   3) Cloudflare (Anycast: worldwide)
   4) Quad9 (Anycast: worldwide)
   5) Quad9 uncensored (Anycast: worldwide)
   6) FDN (France)
   7) DNS.WATCH (Germany)
   8) OpenDNS (Anycast: worldwide)
   9) Google (Anycast: worldwide)
   10) Yandex Basic (Russia)
   11) AdGuard DNS (Anycast: worldwide)
   12) NextDNS (Anycast: worldwide)
   13) Custom
DNS [1-12]: 1

不启用压缩算法。

Do you want to use compression? It is not recommended since the VORACLE attack makes use of it.
Enable compression? [y/n]: n

使用默认的加密算法。

Do you want to customize encryption settings?
Unless you know what you're doing, you should stick with the default parameters provided by the script.
Note that whatever you choose, all the choices presented in the script are safe. (Unlike OpenVPN's defaults)
See https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install#security-and-encryption to learn more.

Customize encryption settings? [y/n]: n

创建VPN用户，设置用户名为demo-user。

Okay, that was all I needed. We are ready to setup your OpenVPN server now.
You will be able to generate a client at the end of the installation.
Press any key to continue...
...
...
...
Tell me a name for the client.
The name must consist of alphanumeric character. It may also include an underscore or a dash.
Client name: demo-user

选择2，设置用户密码。

Do you want to protect the configuration file with a password?
(e.g. encrypt the private key with a password)
   1) Add a passwordless client
   2) Use a password for the client
Select an option [1-2]: 2

设置完成后，下载用户配置文件，路径在/home/ec2-user/demo-user.ovpn。

⚠️ You will be asked for the client password below ⚠️

* Using SSL: openssl OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017

* Using Easy-RSA configuration: /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/vars

* The preferred location for 'vars' is within the PKI folder.

The configuration file has been written to /home/ec2-user/demo-user.ovpn.
Download the .ovpn file and import it in your OpenVPN client.

1.3 修改OpenVPN服务器配置文件

如果有特殊的需求，可以进一步修改OpenVPN的配置文件，路径为/etc/openvpn/server.conf。

配置文件默认推送网关到用户电脑，也就是默认所有流量都会走OpenVPN通道，思科将这种模式叫tunnel all模式。这里设置只有访问172.31.25.230主机时，才会走OpenVPN通过，思科将这种模式叫split-tunnel模式。

另外设置OpenVPN的拨号日志路径，路径为/var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log。

[root@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]# vim /etc/openvpn/server.conf
port 1194
proto udp
dev tun
user nobody
group nobody
persist-key
persist-tun

dh none
ecdh-curve prime256v1

client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/ccd
status /var/log/openvpn/status.log
log /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
verb 3

修改了下面这些默认配置文件。

#push "dhcp-option DNS 172.31.0.2"
#push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "route 172.31.25.230 255.255.255.255"
log /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log

重启OpenVPN服务。

[root@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]# systemctl restart openvpn@server.service

二、安装OpenVPN Windows客户端测试

OpenVPN Windows客户端下载链接：https://openvpn.net/client-connect-vpn-for-windows，这个链接需要「科学上网」才能访问。![](/content/images/mypost/aws-openvpn-server/image-20230205213807660.png)

安装客户端之后，打开OpenVPN客户端。点击FILE，将下载的用户配置文件拖拽到虚线方框内。

点击保存密码，然后输入为用户设置的密码。

连接成功。

在客户端上查看路由表，查看到推送的主机路由，流量指向OpenVPN的隧道。测试到AWS内网的服务器连通性。

查看OpenVPN日志信息。

三、添加、删除用户

3.1 添加用户

再次运行脚本，系统会识别出来已经安装了OpenVPN服务器，此时选择1，添加用户。

[root@ip-172-31-32-219 ~]# ./openvpn-install.sh
