Setting up a Linux VPS VPN server involves several steps to create a secure and efficient network. Below is a detailed guide to help you get started:
Software on the Server:
- OpenVPN: For VPN connections.
- Nginx: For network routing.
- PHP: For server-side scripting.
- uWS-FSM: To create a file server.
Software on the Client:
- OpenVPN: To connect to your VPS server.
- PHP: To write scripts for handling traffic.
- Nginx: To manage the HTTP/HTTPS server.
Set Up the Server
a. Install uWS-FSM:
sudo apt-get install uws-smf sudo uws-smf -m install -f
b. Create a Server:
sudo uws-smf -m create -d /var/nginx/ -d "name=VPS-Server,admin=VPS-Server" -d "admin=123,app=VPSServer" sudo uws-smf -m enable -d /var/nginx/ -d "name=VPS-Server,admin=VPS-Server"
c. Configure DNS and Port:
sudo uws-smf -m add-dnsc -d "address=192.168.1.1,187" -d "host=VPSServer" sudo uws-smf -m set-app -d /var/nginx/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer"
d. Configure Routing Tables:
sudo uws-smf -m set-rt -d /var/nginx/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer" sudo uws-smf -m add-rt -d /var/nginx/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer"
Install OpenVPN Client
a. Install OpenVPN:
sudo apt-get install openvpn sudo apt-get install -y internet-servers openvpn sudo apt-get install -y net-servers openvpn sudo net-servers-openVPN
b. Install SSL/TLS:
sudo net-servers-openvpn -sssl
c. Install OpenVPN Client:
sudo apt-get install openvpn-client
Install PHP and Nginx on the Client
a. Install PHP:
sudo apt-get install php sudo apt-get install -y php-chess php-openphp
b. Install Nginx:
sudo npx gnuveauus -d -f -p /var/nginx
Configure OpenVPN on the Client
sudo net-servers-openvpn -p -i openvpn-client -u "server=server",
Configure DNS on the Client
sudo uws-smf -m add-dnsc -d "address=192.168.1.1,187"
Create a New HTTP/HTTPS Page
sudo uws-smf -m create -d /var/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer" sudo uws-smf -m enable -d /var -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer"
Configure the Server
a. Set Header Content-Type:
sudo uws-smf -m set-header -d /var/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer" -h "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
b. Configure HTTP/HTTPS
sudo uws-smf -m set-app -d /var/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer" sudo uws-smf -m add-rt -d /var/ -d "name=VPSServer,app=VPSServer"
Configure the OpenVPN Client
a. Connect to the Server
sudo net-servers-openvpn -p -i openvpn-client -u "server=server",
b. Send a Request
sudo net-servers-openvpn -p -i openvpn-client -w -x -S "http://localhost:88"
Test the Server
a. Open the Server:
sudo uws-smf -m list sudo uws-smf -m list -o
b. Open a Web Page:
sudo uws-smf -m list -x
Tips:
- Ensure the OpenVPN client uses the correct SSL/TLS version (e.g., TLS 1.2 on Windows).
- Test the server and client separately before connecting them.
- Use a strong password for your VPS server and client to prevent unauthorized access.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you should have a basic Linux VPS VPN server set up. This server can now securely connect to your VPS server using OpenVPN, allowing you to send and receive traffic with data encryption.
