A cloud based openvpn vpn server. My first approach is to setup a openvpn server in the an azure virtual desktop. Afterwards I would also like to create a Docker container Image which can be pulled and used on every linux server.
First step might be to create an Azure Virtual Desktop. If you are a student you get a 100$ Budget for 1 year in the Azure cloud. I think this offering makes Azure really worth trying and lead to my decision to host the vpn server in an Azure cloud vritual desktop.
Besides the Azure Account you need to set up a Azure Virtual Desktop. This is basically a virtual Machine running in a cloud server. I used the Linux Ubuntu 20.03 Server for this project, because I am more familiar with it. I recommend you to do also. After you have created the virtual desktop, just connect to it my ssh.
sudo apt install openvpnon the Linux server.
I will cover are more technical installation process. So I expect that I will get a more detailed overview about the setup and the design of the application.
I want to create a Docker Container Image which will provide a out of the box finished configuration for openVPN. Therefore I will need a CLI Userinterface/Application which reads the needed important from the user and guides through the installation process.
