Hello there!

Today I will show you how to install OpenVPN server on the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (26.04 as of writing) in a matter of a few minutes. 🙂

I have been working on a series of small projects to run on my virtual private server and, of course, this has me spinning up VPN’s quite often so I figured I would make a quick video on how to do it.

Let’s begin…

What’s up?

In this post we will learn how to secure our VPN so that it doesn’t leak any traffic.

If you have ever used a VPN for geolocation specific sites or applications, you might have run into the issue where your VPN turns off and suddenly you are connecting to that application using your main connection which can lead to minor interruptions from that site or application or even becoming blocked.

A solid setup can be the differential preventing this from happening and that is what we will learn how to configure in this post using some basic Windows firewall rules.

Let’s begin.
