Pritunl is a VPN server software that allows users to access resources remotely. Installing it on OpenSUSE is quite easy following these steps.
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following requirements installed:
Since Pritunl is not available in the official OpenSUSE repositories, we need to add the Pritunl Repository to the system. Run the following command in the terminal to add the repository key:
sudo rpm --import https://repo.pritunl.com/stable/yum/archive.key
Next, add the Pritunl repository by running the following command:
sudo zypper ar https://repo.pritunl.com/stable/yum/pritunl.repo
Update the package list by running the following command:
sudo zypper ref
Now, you can install Pritunl using the following command:
sudo zypper in pritunl
You may be asked to accept the GPG key when prompted.
To start Pritunl, run the following command:
sudo systemctl start pritunl
To enable Pritunl to start automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable pritunl
Pritunl web interface can be accessed on port 9700 using a web browser. Open your browser and go to the following URL:
https://localhost:9700
If you are accessing the interface remotely, replace localhost with the IP address or hostname of the OpenSUSE system. You may be prompted to accept a self-signed SSL certificate, acknowledge it to proceed.
The first time you access Pritunl, you will be prompted to create a Super Admin user. Fill out the required information, and click on the Create User button to proceed.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Pritunl on OpenSUSE Latest. From here, you can create users, configure VPN settings, and manage your VPN network.
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
