Installing and using OpenVPN on Kali and Windows
origin
During the learning process, because we need to use OpenVPN to access the shooting range, there are too many tools to use in Windows, and it is extremely inconvenient to install them one by one, so I simply installed an OpenVPN directly in Kali to directly connect to the shooting range. There is really little information on installing OpenVPN in Kali. After my own inquiry, I got the installation method.
Windows installation using OpenVPN
A very common installation method. For specific installation methods, you can install the "VPN Configuration Instructions" in the vulnerability box for installation link: link
Kali installation enables OpenVPN
Connecting to OpenVPN on Kali Linux is very simple, you just need to install the OpenVPN client, obtain the OpenVPN configuration file and run the OpenVPN client. Here are some basic steps:
Install OpenVPN client
1. On Kali Linux, you can install the OpenVPN client using the following command:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openvpn
This command will update the package index and install the OpenVPN client.
2. Obtain the OpenVPN configuration file.
Before connecting to OpenVPN, you need to obtain the OpenVPN configuration file. This file is usually provided by a VPN service provider
and contains information such as the VPN server address, username, password, and key. You can save the configuration file locally, for example
my own:
3. Connect to OpenVPN
Once you have obtained the OpenVPN configuration file, you can connect to the OpenVPN server using the following command:
sudo openvpn --config （你的配置文件的路径）
For example, mine is:
Then you are asked to enter the corresponding account number and password to log in.
This command will connect to the OpenVPN server using the specified configuration file and display the connection status and logs.
4. Verify connection
You can check whether the OpenVPN connection is successful using the following command:
ip addr show tun0
If the connection is successful, you should be able to see a network interface named "tun0" with the corresponding IP address of the VPN server displayed.
In summary, connecting to OpenVPN on Kali Linux is very simple, you just need to install the OpenVPN client, get the OpenVPN configuration file, and use OpenVPN commands to connect to the VPN server. This will encrypt your network traffic and protect your privacy and security.
