Terraform OpenVPN Module

This terraform module deploys a very minimal OpenVPN to AWS. Because it's intended to be cheap and disposable, there are no niceties such as route53 records or http interface. It's currently based off of the kylemanna/docker-openvpn docker image, but this is configurable. You can and you should rebuild this image from scratch, since you should never trust a public registry.

Example

Setup a basic terraform file:

# main.tf

provider "aws" {
  profile = "default"
  region  = "eu-west-1"
}

resource "aws_key_pair" "deployer" {
  key_name   = "deployer"
  public_key = "${file("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")}"
}

module "openvpn" {
  source            = "github.com/joshpurvis/terraform-openvpn?ref=0.0.1"
  aws_region        = "eu-west-1"
  aws_key_pair_name = "${aws_key_pair.deployer.key_name}"

  #optional
  #client_name      = "terraform-openvpn-client"
  #docker_image     = "kylemanna/openvpn"
}

Which can be deployed and provisioned with:

terraform init
terraform apply

Once finished, a file called terraform-openvpn-client.ovpn will be copied to the working directory.

Configure your local client using Network Manager

If you would like it to be available in your network settings, and you're using Network Manager, you can import it like this:

sudo nmcli connection import type openvpn file terraform-openvpn-client.ovpn
sudo nmcli connection up terraform-openvpn-client

Configure your local client manually

openvpn terraform-openvpn-client.ovpn
