We run a couple of automated
scans to help you access a
module's quality. Each module is
given a score based on how well
the author has formatted their
code and documentation and
modules are also checked for
malware using VirusTotal.

is for guidance only and neither of
these methods should be considered
an endorsement by Puppet.

OpenVPN

Puppet Forge Build Status

A Puppet module to manage the OpenVPN client and server.

Supported Platforms

  • CentOS
  • Debian
  • FreeBSD
  • OpenBSD
  • Ubuntu

Usage

Server Setup

The configuration for the OpenVPN server can be accomplished using the openvpn::server class.

class { "openvpn::server":
  server => "10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0",
  route  => [
    "10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0",
    "10.0.2.0 255.255.255.0",
    "10.0.3.0 255.255.255.0",
    ],
  dns => '10.0.0.10',
  crl => 'mysite/crl.pem',
}

To include pushing IPv6 routes, the route_ipv6 and the server_ipv6 parameters have been added to the openvpn::server class.

class { "openvpn::server":
  server_ipv6 => "10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0",
  route_ipv6  => [
    "fc00::/64",
    ],
  dns => 'fc00::',
  crl => 'mysite/crl.pem',
}

Basic Client Setup

Clients can be configured using the openvpn::client defined type. Multiple connections can be specified if you have multiple locations to connect to.

openvpn::client { "node_${hostname}_dc1":
  server => "vpn.dc1.example.com",
  cert   => "node_${hostname}";
}

openvpn::client { "node_${hostname}_office":
  server => "vpn.office.example.com",
  cert   => "node_${hostname}";
}

Client Specific Configurations

Clients can have a more specific and static configuration. For example, if you wanted to specify the IP address a specific client should use, something like the following will work for this purpose.

openvpn::server::csc { "srv1.example.com":
  content => "ifconfig-push 10.0.0.50 10.0.0.51",
}
