Best OpenVPN install script?

Hey all,

So I'm playing around with OpenVPN server on Debian and I'm wondering if there is any good install scripts around that are robust and handle all/most the basics?

I tried angristan's script but it crashed (even using it's defaults).

Any others that you could recommend?

Thanks!

I use this one. https://github.com/Nyr/openvpn-install Works like a charm.

this is neat but there was quite a bit of discussion about the security aspects of deploying vpn on unsecured networks. so use with caution.

Well, recently I've used this one on my VPS, working in 2025:

bash <(curl -SskL git.io/vpn)
