When purchasing a new service from Virmach.com,   we are now having to use a different operating system than before.   

Use Ubuntu 18.04.  I've used Ubuntu 20.04 in the past and was successful,  but the last time I tried which was Oct. 2024,  20.04 didn't work and 18.04 did.  	
	
The Commands below are all run in a Putty or Terminal Session,  and use WINSCP to grab your client.conf file from your VM to put on your node. 


wget http://198.46.233.68/vpn/firewall_modified1

chmod +x /root/firewall_modified1

wget http://198.46.233.68/vpn/makevpn_debian10

chmod +x /root/makevpn_debian10

/root/makevpn_debian10


Once these commands are run on your virtual server and the
makevpn_debian10 script finishes running,  you can retrieve your
client.conf file from the root directory and put it in your node and
you will be up and running on your vpn. 

THERE IS NO NEED TO MAKE ANY MODIFICATIONS TO THE client.conf FILE FOR THIS TO WORK ON DEBIAN 10 OR 11 LIKE BEFORE. 


THE FIREWALL DOES NOT RESTART WHEN YOU REBOOT THE VPN SERVER,  IF YOU NEED TO REBOOT YOU MUST LOGIN AFTER REBOOT AND RUN THE COMMAND  /root/firewall start

IF YOU WISH FOR THE FIREWALL TO START AUTOMATICALLY ON A REBOOT COPY AND PASTE THE COMMANDS BELOW.

cd /etc

wget http://texomarepeatergroup.com/vpn/rc.local 

chmod +x  /etc/rc.local


Now when you reboot your server,  the firewall will start without having to login and command it to start.
