Terraform OpenVPN

Terraform declarations for Single node OpenVPN infrastructure. You can have your pay as you go personal VPN in minutes! And you can destroy your environment whenever you want!

Prerequisites

Terraform v0.11.3

Check your version.

$ terraform -v

Installing

Install Terraform, you can use brew if you're on Mac OS X.

$ brew install terraform

Usage

Make sure you provided AWS credentials to your environment.

You can simply export:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=(your access key id)
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=(your secret access key)

Or, you can use something like awsudo if you are using multiple accounts in your system:

$ awsudo -u personal env | grep AWS
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='<jadajada>'
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='<blablabla>'

To provision remote machine, Terraform needs to access that machine, for that you have to add your SSH key to your local ssh-agent, so Terraform can find:

$ ssd-add # Adds default ssh key
$ ssd-add ~/.ssh/my-jada-jada-key # Adds a specific ssh key

Then plan your changes:

$ terraform plan

If everything is ok, you should see something like:

If everything looks good, you can apply your plan, it will take couple of minutes:

$ terraform apply

If everything is ok, you should see something like:

Booom! You did it!

Client Setup

Use generated file with an OpenVPN client. In OS X, you can install one with brew.

$ brew install openvpn

Then,

$ sudo openvpn --config awesome-personal-vpn.ovpn
$ sudo openvpn --config awesome-personal-vpn.ovpn --deaemon # as daemon
$ sudo -b openvpn --config awesome-personal-vpn.ovpn # run in background

If you want a GUI client, you can use Tunnelblick for Mac OS X, with Tunnelblick is installed, just go to your console:

$ open awesome-personal-vpn.ovpn
