I made a simple OpenVPN Manager for Linux
Hey everybody!
I wrote this OpenVPN Manager because I needed to maintain OpenVPN servers for work.
I wanted something simple that could handle the common tasks without having to remember a lot of commands or manually edit configuration files.
GitHub: https://github.com/cirtron/OpenVPN-Manager
It's a single Bash script with a menu-based interface. It currently supports:
- Installing and configuring OpenVPN
- Creating VPN users and
.ovpnfiles - Revoking users properly with CRL
- Listing and regenerating client configurations
- Checking server and client status
- Restarting or removing the OpenVPN server
- NAT and firewall configuration
- Multiple Linux distributions
The client configuration is generated as a single .ovpn file with the required certificates and keys included.
I originally built it just for my own work, mainly to make maintenance easier and reduce repetitive manual work. After making a few improvements, I decided to put it on GitHub in case it is useful to someone else.
It's a relatively small project, but I'd be happy to hear any feedback or suggestions.
