Tutorial

Troubleshooting

  • if Pihole installation does not ask for a static IP and gateway IP addresses check if this file is present /etc/dhcpcd.conf and create an empty one if not.
  • if connection hangs after pointing OpenVPN access server to Pihole instance check if the following configurations are present in server.conf
topology subnet
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
push "dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1"

Handy tools

  • check logs tail -f /var/log/ovpn-<<server name>>.log
  • restart service systemctl restart openvpn@<<server name>>
  • check status systemctl status openvpn@<<server name>>

Express setup without CA

  • download the installation script
wget https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install/raw/master/openvpn-install.sh
chmod 755 openvpn-install.sh

At this moment, the script has a bug. The bug is a deprecated option openvpn --genkey --secret which I fixed manually to openvpn --genkey secret

  • run the script and follow the installation wizard
./openvpn-install.sh

Wireguard express setup

A quick installation script can be found here

Pihole local instance in a docker container
