You should see that port 1194 is no longer open to the public. Make sure that everything still works after you reboot the server: rebootД¬heck the revised iptables rules: iptables -vnL Save the file.Д®dit the iptables rules that get removed when OpenVPN is brought down: vi /etc/iptables/rm-openvpn-rules.shДelete the line deleting the input rule accepting TCP packets on port 1194. In a few minutes, weвЂ™ll add Stunnel to handle incoming traffic and pass it to OpenVPN on the loopback interface port 1194.Д®dit the iptables rules that get added when OpenVPN is brought up: vi /etc/iptables/add-openvpn-rules.shДelete the line that inserts an input rule accepting TCP packets on port 1194. Therefore we will close port 1194 to the public. We want to make the OpenVPN server as invisible as possible. If you look at the iptables firewall, you will see that the script has opened port 1194 to the public: iptables -vnL You can check that OpenVPN is active (running) after the script finishes: systemctl status Д¬heck also that OpenVPN is listening for TCP input on port 1194: ss -tulpn | grep 1194 1.5. For the private key file, we will put passwordless.For the first client name, we will put client1.At the end of the installation, you are asked about the first client: For customized encryption settings, recommend n for noДЄfter answering all the questions, press any key to continue and run the script.For enable compression, recommend n for no.For DNS servers, you can choose your favorite, e.g.Important: Protocol must be TCP to work with Stunnel.Port choice should be 1194 (it will be hidden behind Stunnel anyway).

IP address should accurately reflect the IP address of your server.

You can accept the suggested default answers to most of the questions, but Stunnel will require OpenVPN to use TCP rather than UDP: Make the script executable: chmod +x openvpn-install.sh 1.4. Get the Angristan OpenVPN script from GitHub: wget

Under certain types of network congestion, it will improve your latency. Implement BBRД«ottleneck Bandwidth and Round-trip propagation time (BBR) is a TCP congestion control algorithm developed at Google.

Save the iptables rules so that they persist after reboots: apt update & apt upgrade -y apt install iptables-persistent -y 1.2. iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -dport 22 -j ACCEPTДЄdd a rule to open port 443, the HTTPS port: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -dport 443 -j ACCEPTДrop all unexpected input: iptables -P INPUT DROP If you can restrict the port 22 rule so that only certain source IP addresses are whitelisted for SSH access ( -s xx.xx.xx.xx/32), then so much the better. Issue each of these commands in turn: iptables -A INPUT -m conntrack -ctstate ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p icmp -icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT Therefore we will use iptables to build our basic firewall. However, in a moment we are going to install OpenVPN with a script that uses iptables. There are multiple ways to implement a firewall: nftables, iptables, ufw, and firewalld. The same server configuration can handle a client running Linux, Windows, or Android. The server in this article runs Debian 10 or a recent version of Ubuntu. We include server name indicator (SNI) in the TLS to make the connection look a bit more like a real HTTPS connection. It may work in some countries but not in others. Whether or not this gets through Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) depends on the sophistication of the DPI. OpenVPN is tunneled through Stunnel, thus resembling a TLS connection on port 443. This article describes one possible solution. People in not-free countries often have a problem with OpenVPN connections being blocked by government censors.
