openvpn-install is a shell script that helps users set up and manage an OpenVPN server with less manual configuration. It supports common Linux distributions including Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, Arch Linux, Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux, Oracle Linux, and Amazon Linux 2023. The project offers an interactive mode that guides users through installation and client management. After setup, it generates .ovpn client configuration files that can be downloaded from the server and used with an OpenVPN client. It is useful for administrators, developers, and privacy-focused users who want to create their own VPN server. The script simplifies a process that would otherwise require editing certificates, server files, firewall rules, and client profiles manually.
