Pritunl is a popular open-source VPN server that provides secure and reliable VPN connections. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install Pritunl on FreeBSD latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
To install Pritunl on FreeBSD, you need to add its repository first. Execute the following command to import the Pritunl GPG key:
# fetch https://repo.pritunl.com/conf/pritunl.repo
# mv pritunl.repo /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/
Now that we have added the Pritunl repository, let's update the FreeBSD packages using the following command:
# pkg update && pkg upgrade -y
Once the FreeBSD packages are updated, let's install Pritunl using the following command:
# pkg install pritunl
This command will install the Pritunl package along with its dependencies.
After installing Pritunl, let's start the Pritunl service using the following command:
# service pritunl start
This command will start the Pritunl service, and you can access the Pritunl web-based interface by opening a web browser and going to https://<your_ip_address>.
That's it! You have successfully installed Pritunl on FreeBSD latest. You can now configure Pritunl and create secure and reliable VPN connections.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
