Comments on How to setup a VPN Server using Pritunl on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Hi,

I install it on Debian 10 and works great

Thanks

Hello, thanks for such a great tutorial. I've been having an issue, when I try adding the keyservers it says connection refused. I even tried disabling the firewall. Dose anyone know how to resolve this issue?

excellent tutorial - keep up the good work!

 Im having trouble starting my server i cant get past this error

autumn-waves-7295][2020-03-13 18:29:00,772][ERROR] Error in management socket thread

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/pritunl/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pritunl/server/instance_com.py", line 284, in _socket_thread

instance_id = "5e6bd0ec538ba75656aa63c8"

socket_path = "/var/run/pritunl_5e6bd0ec538ba75656aa63c8.sock"

server_id = "5e6bca7ede4150b2d1ed9dd2"

At last, after 10000000000 days of searching after something like this, i found this. With a little minor modifications, before starting the server, do a sudo apt-get update and upgrade, then

echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu trusty/mongodb-org/3.0 multiverse" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.0.list

echo "deb http://repo.pritunl.com/stable/apt trusty main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pritunl.list

then add repos

apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10

apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv CF8E292A

update the pachage with sudo apt-get update, and 

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p udp -m udp --sport 9700 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --sport 9700 --dport 1025:65355 -j ACCEPT

then you can install python proprerties pritunl monodb-org 

 sudo apt-get install python-software-properties pritunl mongodb-org

then do a

sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pritunl.list << EOF

deb http://repo.pritunl.com/stable/apt bionic main

EOF

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7568D9BB55FF9E5287D586017AE645C0CF8E292A

sudo apt update

and after all this

sudo apt-get --assume-yes install pritunl mongodb-server

and sudo sytemctl start and enable.

All this is if you get the error "E:unable to locate the package pritunl" after "assume-yes installl...". Because this was the only workaround for this error, and i did not find anything related on thie errror. 

Great article. 10/10

Hi, I can connect to the vpn server through OpenVPN client, but I can't browse the internet, any idea 

I can resolve the names while I am connected but no traffic can go outside
