In this episode of Dev Odyssey, we're revisiting VPNs on a router, except this time, we're using OpenVPN. I cover how you can create a network wide VPN for all of your devices, using OpenVPN and OpenWrt.
OpenVPN protocol was created in 2001 by James Yonan and released under the GNU GPL version 2 license, as the first open source VPN protocol. Over time, it’s become a versatile and widely used solution known for its robustness and cross-platform compatibility.
OpenVPN does have some advantages over WireGuard, including support for authentication, certificates, key exchange, layer 2 networking, and extensible plugins. In comparison, OpenVPN's focus is broader.
WireGuard has its own advantages, particular around speed, security and portability / roaming. It's meant to be more lightweight, with a lean code base for easy auditing. Additional features, such as the ones noted above, are left to developers to implement. For example, Tailscale has built enterprise grade features on top of the WireGuard, to include the best of both worlds.
Each protocol has it's best use case scenario, and I encourage you to research them both to see what works best for you in your situation.
Setting one up is fairly easy, by following the steps below.
1. Install the OpenVPN packages:
openvpn-openssl
luci-app-openvpn
openssl-util
2. Grab an ovpn configuration file from your VPN provider
3. Upload the ovpn configuration file to OpenWrt
4. Make any necessary changes as dictated by your VPN provider (i.e. authentication)
5. Set the appropriate DNS servers to prevent DNS leaks
