Free VPN Course

This is a free VPN course where you gain knowledge to help you create home and business VPNs. 

We will present a direction on how to create and configure VPN using virtual environments so that you can reproduce the knowledge acquired using an environment with virtual machines. 

We intend to continuously insert content, update content about VPNs, and address different VPN technologies.

Initially, we will work with VPNs based on OpenVPN. And we will cover the following topics: 

Lesson 1: Installing OpenVPN on Linux | Server and Client 

Here we will learn how to install an OpenVPN server on a Linux machine. The idea of this first part is to provide easy-to-understand content, including explaining in practice several concepts such as certificate authority and certificates used in VPN. 

 After that, we will learn how to configure the firewall and virtual environment to perform the VPN connection tests. 

It is worth mentioning that we also present how to install and configure an OpenVPN client on a Linux machine.

Here we will introduce how to install or update an OpenVPN client to a newer version. Some OpenVPN servers use a more recent version, creating incompatibility with OpenVPN clients of older versions.

This tutorial will explain how to update your OpenVPN client or even install a newer version from scratch. 

Also, we explain how to connect to a newer OpenVPN server.

Lesson 4: OpenVPN on Mobile | Protect your mobile access 

We present how to install and configure an OpenVPN client on a smartphone. In this way, the user can create more secure connections between his cell phone and his home or the company he works for.

Consequently, by creating a VPN between your cell phone and the company, the professional can access resources that previously could only be accessed within the company. 

Lesson 5: OpenVPN Server on PfSense | Installation and Configuration 

This class will teach you how to configure an OpenVPN server on a machine with pfSense. PfSense is commonly used when we want a secure operating system with a graphical interface that simplifies the configuration process.

In this way, we present the configuration of OpenVPN in Pfsense and demonstrate how the connection could be made using an OpenVPN client in a virtualized environment.
