Very Bad it uses a lot of memory and sometimes uses 90% cpu even without vpn connection.
I definitely do not recommend

Compared to Digital Ocean Marketplace version, this one here is outdated and with very silly setup and does not work.

Please debug. I was trying to use the internal db. Here is the error information that I got from /var/log/openvpnas.log:

Not working AMI have issue

Tried to route all traffic with VPN, but unable to connect to the instance. If I don't route traffic from the VPN instance then the IP of my local doesn't change after connecting with the OpenVPN instance.

You are asked to provide a password you don't know

  • March 04, 2015

You are asked to provide a password on the admin login which is supposed to be the same password you use to authenticate / connect to the server. However if you login with a certificate there is no password so you are out of luck!

"Login as "openvpn" with the same password used to authenticate
to this UNIX host."
