 1 | # HOW TO MAKE YOUR PHONE HOST A `OpenVPN` SERVER USING TERMUX
 2 | 
 3 | > I dont know why i'm doing this... BUT
 4 | 
 5 | ## Step 1: Install Termux
 6 | First, you need to `install Termux` from the Google Play Store or `F-Droid`. (I like to install it using `F-Droid`)
 7 | 
 8 | ## Step 2: Install OpenVPN
 9 | `OpenVPN` is a popular VPN protocol that is highly secure and easy to set up. You can install it on Termux by running the following commands:
10 | ```
11 | pkg update
12 | pkg install openvpn
13 | ```
14 | Very simple :P
15 | 
16 | ## Step 3: Generate Certificates and Keys
17 | OpenVPN requires a set of `certificates and keys` to function. 
18 | 
19 | You can generate these using the `easy-rsa` package. Install it and then use it to generate your keys:
20 | ```
21 | pkg install easy-rsa
22 | easyrsa init-pki
23 | easyrsa build-ca
24 | easyrsa gen-dh
25 | easyrsa build-server-full server nopass
26 | easyrsa build-client-full client nopass
27 | ```
28 | This will create a set of certificates and keys in the `pki` directory under your home directory.
29 | 
30 | 
31 | ## Step 4: Configure OpenVPN
32 | You need to create a configuration file for OpenVPN. Create a new file named `server.conf` and add the following content:
33 | 
34 | ```
35 | port 1194
36 | proto udp
37 | dev tun
38 | ca /path/to/your/pki/ca.crt  > Replace path!
39 | cert /path/to/your/pki/server.crt  > Replace path!
40 | key /path/to/your/pki/server.key  > Replace path!
41 | dh /path/to/your/pki/dh.pem  > Replace path!
42 | server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
43 | ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt
44 | push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
45 | push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222"
46 | push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220"
47 | keepalive 10 120
48 | cipher AES-256-CBC
49 | user nobody
50 | group nogroup
51 | persist-key
52 | persist-tun
53 | status openvpn-status.log
54 | verb 3
55 | ```
56 | Replace `/path/to/your/pki/` with the actual path to your `pki` directory.
57 | 
58 | ## Step 5: Start OpenVPN Server
59 | Now you can start the OpenVPN server by running:
60 | ```
61 | openvpn --config /path/to/your/server.conf
62 | ```
63 | 
64 | ## Step 7: Connect to the VPN
65 | On a differant device, use an OpenVPN client app to connect to the VPN using the `client.ovpn` file. You will need to enter the username and password you set when generating the client certificate.
