1. Install and configure the openvpn package for your distribution. For example, on Ubuntu 16.04, run the following commands:

   Code Block
   sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install openvpn unzip

   
   

2. Download the Rapid Access Cloud VPN configuration files. VPN access is configured per region:

1. Calgary

2. Edmonton 

3. Unzip the file and move the contents to /etc/openvpn/. For example: 

   Code Block
   wget http://vpn-yyc.cloud.cybera.ca/vpn-yyc-ovpn.zip unzip vpn-yyc-ovpn.zip sudo mv ca.crt client.conf client.crt client.key /etc/openvpn/

   
   

4. Start the OpenVPN client service: 

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl start openvpn@client Enter Auth Username: Enter Auth Password:

   Enter your Rapid Access Cloud username/email address and password to authenticate.

5. To check whether the VPN is working, open a terminal and attempt to ping your private IP address. For example, “ping 10.0.0.73”. 

   Note
   Make sure that the security group for the instance has rules to allow ingress ICMP.

   
   

6. To disconnect from the VPN: 

   Code Block
   sudo systemctl stop openvpn@client
