== VPN Setup HOWTO ==
This document describes how to set up Old Pueblo VPN.

''Note'': We don't use the OpenVPN packages, since these are often out of date, and important security updates have recently been added.

In the instructions below the file name 'openvpn-x.x.x.tar.gz' is used. The x's in that name will be replaced by numbers indicating the most recent version of openvpn. For example, it might be 'openvpn-2.4.3.tar.gz.'

=== LINUX / BSD ===

==== Download and verify the archive ====

# Download the latest OpenVPN tarball [https://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html here] (choose the gunzip version, ending in 'gz')
# Verify the signature. This takes several steps:
## Get the keys of the openvpn maintainers. Go [https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/sig.html here], and download all the keys listed there.
## Import the keys to your gpg keyring. For each key name, replace {key_name} in the following
##:<pre>$ gpg --import {key_name}.asc</pre>
## Download the signature file [https://openvpn.net/index.php/download/community-downloads.html here], saving it to the same place as you saved the openvpn-x.x.x.tar.gz file. The signature is given by the link that says 'GnuPG Signature' in the row that has the link to the openvpn-x.x.x.tar.gz link)
## Verify the signature for the file you downloaded
##:<pre>$ gpg --verify openvpn-x.x.x.tar.gz.asc</pre>
## Make sure you see something like
##:<pre>gpg: Good signature from "James Yonan <email@email.com>"</pre>
##:You will also see a warning saying that you are not using a trusted signature. This is expected. To further verify the key, you may compare the fingerprint listed in the message with the one included on the openvpn mailing list, [here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.announce/9], (or you can verify the key in person, and sign the key. Searching for 'web of trust PGP' will bring up relevant links explaining how this works in PGP).

==== Expand and Install OpenVPN ====
# Decompress the tarball
#:<pre>$ tar xzvf /path/to/download/location/openvpn-x.x.x.tar.gz</pre>
# Change to the directory that was just created:
#:<pre>$ cd openvpn-x.x.x</pre>
