In this tutorial, you will set up OpenVPN on an Ubuntu 20.04 server, and then configure it to be accessible from a client machine.
OpenVPN is a full featured, open-source Transport Layer Security (TLS) VPN solution that accommodates a wide range of configurations. You can circumvent geographical restrictions and censorship, and shield your location and any unencrypted HTTP traffic from untrusted networks. When combined with HTTPS connections, this setup allows you to secure your wireless logins and transactions. It gives you the freedom to access the internet safely and securely from your smartphone or laptop when connected to an untrusted network, like the WiFi at a hotel or coffee shop.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to traverse untrusted networks as if you were on a private network.
