PiVPN is a software that allows you to set up a VPN server on your Raspberry Pi. It is based on OpenVPN and can be used with various devices, such as your phone or computer, to connect securely to your device over the internet. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PiVPN on Manjaro.
To install PiVPN on Manjaro, follow these steps:
Open the terminal and run the following command to install PiVPN:
curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash
This will download and run the PiVPN installation script.
Follow the prompts to configure PiVPN. You will be asked to select the user you want to use PiVPN with, choose a VPN protocol (UDP or TCP), and configure some settings.
Note: You can choose the default settings if you are unsure what to choose.
After the installation is complete, you will be given a QR code that you can use to configure your devices to connect to your VPN.
Once PiVPN is installed, you can make some additional configurations to customize it. Here are some configurations you might want to make:
Configure the firewall to allow traffic to the VPN server.
sudo ufw allow OpenSSH
sudo ufw enable
sudo ufw allow 1194/udp
This will enable the firewall to allow traffic to the VPN server.
Create a new user account for the VPN server.
sudo adduser vpnuser
This will create a new user account called ‘vpnuser’ on the VPN server.
Add users to the VPN server.
sudo pihole -a -p newuserpassword
This will add a new user called ‘newuser’ with the password ‘newuserpassword’.
You have now successfully installed PiVPN on your Manjaro machine. PiVPN is a powerful and convenient VPN solution that can be used to connect to your Raspberry Pi remotely over the internet. This tutorial should help you get started with PiVPN, and we wish you good luck with your VPN setup!
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!
