Prepare database

• create an empty database:

CREATE DATABASE <vpnman_db_name>;

Install frontend

Requirements:

Instructions:

• Set <vpnman_db_user>, <vpnman_db_pass> and <vpnman_db_name> in frontend/include/config.inc.php
• Using visudo, add the following line to the sudoers file:

<apache> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: <your_vpnman_path>/vpn/bin/openvpn.sh

NOTE: 'apache' is the apache web server user, some system may use different user (for example 'www-data')

Firewall:

By default, when you start a vpn, VPNMAN add a rule to the "allow_vpn" chain. You have to create this chain and insert it to your INPUT chain:

$ iptables -N allow_vpn
$ iptables -A INPUT -j allow_vpn

Default Login:

username: admin
password: alpha0000
