FAQ

Q: The script has been updated since I installed OpenVPN. How do I update?

A: You can't. Managing updates and new features from the script would require way too much work. Your only solution is to uninstall OpenVPN and reinstall with the updated script.

You can, of course, it's even recommended, update the openvpn package with your package manager.


Q: How do I check for DNS leaks?

A: Go to dnsleaktest.com or ipleak.net with your browser. Only your server's IP should show up.


Q: Can I use an OpenVPN 2.3 client?

A: Yes. I really recommend using an up-to-date client, but if you really need it, choose the following options:

  • No compression or LZ0
  • RSA certificate
  • DH Key
  • AES CBC
  • tls-auth

If your client is <2.3.3, remove tls-version-min 1.2 from your /etc/openvpn/server.conf and .ovpn files.


Q: IPv6 is not working on my Hetzner VM

A: This an issue on their side. See https://angristan.xyz/fix-ipv6-hetzner-cloud/
