Date: 2019jan4 OS: Linux Distro: Fedora Language: bash Q. OpenVPN client setup on Fedora A. First, setup an OpenVPN server as I describe in another article. Install OpenVPN on the client with `dnf install openvpn` Make a client key for new Fedora client on the server as I describe in the server article. Lets assume its called client4. Copy the contents of folder /etc/openvpn/client4 on the server to /etc/openvpn/client on the client. In /etc/openvpn/client rename client4.ovpn to client.conf Enable and start the service:

systemctl enable openvpn-client@client systemctl start openvpn-client@client

If you get no errors, the service is running. Some things to test it:
