Basic production-level configuration files

We extend the previous client and server configuration files to use the newly created tls-auth key. We do this by adding a line to the configuration file movpn-04-01-server.conf, as well as the second security-enhancing option:

proto udp
port 1194
dev tun
server 10.200.0.0 255.255.255.0
topology subnet
persist-key
persist-tun
keepalive 10 60

remote-cert-tls client
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/movpn/ta.key 0
dh       /etc/openvpn/movpn/dh2048.pem
ca       /etc/openvpn/movpn/movpn-ca.crt
cert     /etc/openvpn/movpn/server.crt
key      /etc/openvpn/movpn/server.key

user  nobody
group nobody

verb 3
daemon
log-append /var/log/openvpn.log

Note

Note that the order of the statements in this configuration file is random. The remote-cert-tls and tls-auth lines could have been added at any point in the file.

This server configuration file is a basic server configuration file that we will reuse throughout this chapter and others. Save it as basic-udp-server.conf so...
