TerraformOpenVPN

Terraform scripts to create a quick OpenVPN server in the cloud (AWS, Azure, Google (GCP), more to come). Can be trivially modified to work with other cloud providers.

Steps for use

1. Download Terraform.

2. For AWS, be sure your AWS profile is setup (i.e., $HOME/.aws/config).

3. For GCP, be sure to generate your account.json from Google Application Default Credentials or, more easily, simply login with gcloud auth application-default login.

4. For Azure, be sure you have the Azure CLI installed and complete an az login

5. Create your SSH keys:

   cd TerraformOpenVPN

   ssh-keygen -N '' -f ./certs/ovpn

6. Edit your own cert_details (use cert_details.sample as template)

7. In the cloud provider you're using, edit the region in variables.tf as needed (default is Canada).

8. For Azure it will restrict SSH and VPN to your public ip by default, if otherwise needed set variables 'restrict_vpn' or 'restrict_ssh' in variables.tf.

9. For GCP, be sure you've created a new project and noted it in variables.tf.

10. cd to the cloud provider directory and perform a terraform apply.

11. The new .ovpn file will be copied from new instance into cert_details. Open with your OpenVPN client.

To Do

• (AWS/GCP) Flag for "only allow this IP to connect" to either SSH and/or OpenVPN.
• Finish fail2ban configuration.
• Better use of variables and file hierarchy to allow for a single variables file and one place to execute the apply command.
• Enable this repository to be used as a module.
• Fix Azure implementation to use API/metadata to retrieve external IP.
