Ubuntu 16.04 VPN Server

Quickly bootstrap a disposable VPN with DNS masking.

Features

• Secure VPN
• DNS Masking
• Basic Ad Blocking

Stack

• OpenVPN
• dnsmasq
• ufw

This cloud-config will configure a fully functional and secure OpenVPN server with full DNS masking capabilities. It works out the box and requires no additional config. Once the machine has booted a ready to use .ovpn is available in the root users home directory.

The OpenVPN config generated may be used by multiple machines/connections at the same time.

Tested on Ubuntu 16.04 on Digital Ocean, will work anywhere where cloud-config can be loaded up when spinning up instances (AWS, Digital Ocean, Linode, etc.). See How To Use Cloud-Config For Your Initial Server Setup | DigitalOcean.

Recomended to not assign an IPv6 address when spinning up your cloud instance and disabling IPv6 traffic at the client VPN also.
