Kovpn's configuration steps
|
|
|
|
First of all, you have to enable OpenVPN's management interface either by
|
|
modifying its configuration file or by adding command line options.
|
|
|
|
o Modifying OpenVPN's configurations files:
|
|
+ Add these lines to every OpenVPNconfiguration file you have.
|
|
|
|
management 127.0.0.1 11194 pwfile.txt
|
|
management-query-passwords
|
|
management-hold
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you have any problems with configuring OpenVPN or if there are
|
|
obscurities, please take a look at the OpenVPN sample config file.
|
|
|
|
o Adding command line options:
|
|
+ Set the openvpn_flags on /etc/rc.conf file:
|
|
|
|
openvpn_flags="--management 127.0.0.1 11194 pwfile.txt
|
|
--management-query-passwords
|
|
--management-hold"
|
|
|
|
o Restart OpenVPN server
|
|
|
|
The next thing you have to do is to configure kovpn itself.
|
|
o Start kovpn
|
|
o right-click on kovpn's icon in the system tray to open the popup menu.
|
|
o left-click on the "Configure kovpn" menu item.
|
|
o Go to the page "OpenVPN" (which should already be on top).
|
|
o Click on the "Add" Button on the right side to add a new OpenVPN connection.
|
|
o Fill in the fields in the "OpenVPN connection" dialog.
|
|
+ Name can be choosen freely but must be unique
|
|
+ Host must be the hostname you told OpenVPN
|
|
(the management option in the first step)
|
|
+ Port must be the port you told OpenVPN
|
|
(the management option in the first step)
|
|
o The other options are not important for kovpn to work but can raise your
|
|
comfort.
|
|
o That's it ! Click on all OKs and you're done.
