Also, needed to understand Byzantine fault tolerant paxos better.

Still do not.

<h1>Openvpn on the cloud</h1><p>
Figure out what version of debian you are running:<pre>
cat /etc/*-release && cat /proc/version
</pre><p>
Browse to <a href="https://openvpn.net/download-open-vpn/">openvpn downloads</a>. Find the file you want, in this case <code>http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-2.6.1-Debian9.amd_64.deb</code><pre>
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-2.6.1-Debian9.amd_64.deb
dpkg -i openvpn-as-2.6.1-Debian9.amd_64.deb</pre><p>
Setup program will echo:<pre>
Please enter "passwd openvpn" to set the initial
administrative password, then login as "openvpn" to continue
configuration here: https://172.245.71.242:943/
</pre><p>
You should now have an admin webserver on port 943 with username openvpn and the password you just created.</p><p>
Upon logging in with your recently created username ane password, you should see:<pre>
To download the OpenVPN Connect app, please choose a platform below:
OpenVPN Connect for Windows
OpenVPN Connect for Mac OS X
OpenVPN Connect for Android
OpenVPN Connect for iOS
OpenVPN for Linux
Connection profiles can be downloaded for:
Yourself (user-locked profile)</pre><p>
The user locked profile is your client.ovpn file, the OpenVPN Connect for windows is your client program that uses it.</p>
<hr><p>
To set up OpenVPN, need tun and tap enabled. This is done from the control panel of the virtual server, not by installing software as root.</p><p>
All the <a href="https://nikinuryadin.wordpress.com/2010/04/16/step-by-step-setting-up-openvpn-in-debian-with-routing-tun-connection/">tutorials on openvpn</a> assume TUN is installed</p><p>
Tap is hugely better than TUN if your vpn host is just one machine, rather than a vpn network. And I suspect it is going to be hugely harder for anti vpn measures to detect it. </p><p>
These days, every package and its little brother has gui elements, and you cannot walk through a Debian 9 configuration and setup tutorial without being asked to pop up something graphically.</p>
