- ::: INSTALLATION :::curl -L install.pivpn.io | bash
- ::: Test (unstable) Branch :::curl -L test.pivpn.io | TESTING= bash
SIMPLE ::: Yes, that’s it! It is *almost* that simple.To elaborate a little more, you will want to install Raspberry Pi OS Lite on a Raspberry pi, we strongly recommend using the latest Raspberry Pi OS Lite image but the normal Raspberry Pi OS image will work as well, preferably enable ssh access and then begin.After install, you may need to open a port on your router.There is a (now slightly outdated) guided walkthrough of the install available here.More information is also available on the PiVPN GitHub
FLEXIBLE ::: Think if you can figure out how to do this yourself you’ll have more options?This installer is no slouch! It will allow you to customize your VPN port, key encryption strength, client DNS server, and more! Even if you are an expert, the options presented within are a perfect foundation for any openvpn server installation. Although this is geared toward running on a $35 Raspberry Pi™, the installer will work just as well on an Ubuntu or Debian server.
MANAGEABLE ::: Installation is finished, now what do you do? No worries, we’ve got you covered!Provided free of charge on your server is a new ‘pivpn’ command. Simply run pivpn and you are presented with all of the available options. Easily add client profiles, revoke them, list the ones you created, etc.
