Just a suggestion but maybe inform viewers that this requires a credit card(valid one with $ on it) so people without a card don't have to sit half way through this video.
I stumbled on this video by chance and I watched it from start to finish, thanks to your no bs approach, clear and concise explanation and easy to follow instructions. Up until I watched this video, I've never heard anything about oracle free tier. I can't believe something awesome like this can ever be free, in the era of montly subscriptions everywhere. I now have a working openvpn server kudos to you.
Hi, What a great video! Some of my friends live in India, and I always see them using VPN to access certain sites. I think they will appreciate this video a lot. I think they use some paid VPNs to access some sites, and with your help, they will be able to save a lot of money and still get to access these sites. Your video was really helpful, and the process seem easy to follow. I will definitely share this within my network to help my friends.
@Liam it worked. You have to provide those details. it is a spam prevention measure from oracle. They will charge you a few cents to ensure it is a real card
I was about to say the opposite. I followed the instructions and after clicking on the part to get the App, it goes to an oracle login screen, then says that the verified email and password used to log-in with does not exist!!! Either there is a change to the site or the instructions are wrong.
I just wantred to say thank you for this fast tutorial, no issues with setup. HOWEVER, if, like me, you are wanting this to set up an instance in another country so you can watch their content, the throughput is AWEFUL. I got around 60 KB/S down and 600 B/S Up... yes you are reading that right, LOL. Oh well. Didn't cost me anything to try.
Really great breakdown of information. Great content, very informative and nicely structured. Thank you for the effort, very appropriate for your job, well done
Took me a few to get this to work (since the video certain locations in Putty has changed) however this will be useful for when I setup my homeserver. Don't want people to have direct access to my location, and speeds seem to be plenty for what I plan on doing.
Very appreciate your tutorial and your efforts! Does it possible to allow other acces from admin to using this VPN and restrict the access for 2-4 weeks or similar?
Thanks! Works like a charm. I had to figure out how to connect to the instance from a Windows system using OpenSSH and not PuTTY, but I got my answer under Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Documentation / Connecting to an Instance. After that was exactly how you described. Thank you again!
I've followed this video to a T even read the instructions over a hundreed times and for some damn reson it will not let me login to openvpn page nor will it let me use the "sudo passwd openvpn" and it tells me user does not exist wtf am I doing wqrong?? I did manage to get the wiregaurd vpn working howerver.
It looks great but when setting-up the Oracle Free Tier account (even though it's free) they still seem to ask for billing/credit card details (which I'm not prepared to give). Why is this required for a free service? It seems to be very much a US companies "thing" to ask for: whether it's free/free trial - not so much in Europe/the UK where consumer protection is better. Are there alternatives to Oracle?
Hi, very good tutorials!! Which is the link for your blog where you show all the things you can do with this free server?? I got it and it feels like it opened a new world for me. Thank you!
Should we add SSL and 2authentication on our OpenVPN server? If it adds more security on the service? Hopefully you can show us how to do it. thx! great video
Great tutorial!!!! great video!! awesome channel!!! thanks a lot for your help. The only thing that didn't work was "sudo passwd openvpn"but was not needed anyway. Greetings from Colombia.
It didn't work for me because I don't have any visa, master either the other debit cards or bank account that oracle wants me during creating a free account. IT'S NOT A FREE ACCOUNT
Nice video. It's easy to follow even without understanding most of what it means lol. It would have been nice to mention how to do this via google cloud since you mentioned it at the beginning of the video though.
Just watch my google cloud video up to the part when you connect with putty, then run an installer - maybe easier with WireGuard actually since I just made a new video about it
seems the boot volume charges now with this openvpn image, But seems not an issue, as some have indicated this fee seems like a false display. I created one vpn successfully with this tutorial, thanks !
I was only getting 10mbps on download speed with the free tier, when I signed up it gave me a month of ' premium tier ' - using that I was able to achieve download speeds of 130mbps 👍 I still want to go faster though 🏎
Thanks for the tutorial I got my VPN now up and running but the client speed is just between 10-15Mbps despite. If I perform a speedtest from the CLI of the instance I get speeds above 400Mbps. How can I get higher speeds on the vpn client? The instance location is London and I'm in Reading UK so I think I should get higher speeds, isn't?
would you be willing to make a VPN playlist on small fixes, I.E. VPN speed, how to switch to another country, have your VPN work on all other devices other than a PC? I felt like this was a good idea for the IdeaSpot.
Hi man, Thank for all the videos you publish, its super helpful, I have a request. I have a local server, which only accessible from local network, but some time I want to connect it remotely, so is it possible to setup OpenVPN or other to connect to that local network to access the server ? I have seen some video of openVPN which is limited to 2 connection, is there any other solution ?
dont bother oraacle ask for debit card take verification payment sent it back and then you dont recieve and email confirming the acount. just a waste of time
I signed up 2 times with my email,verified it, cant login, I used forgot my cloud name option, it sends email that says there is no account related to my email
Ok, I love this, or at least the idea of this. I followed all of the steps and got the VPN up and running. However, when I type whats my IP into google it doesn't match my VPN and it just gives my actual IP. When I tye What's my location into google, it gives me my actual location also and not the VPN location. What do I need to change to make this VPN work correctly? Thanks
any idea to that when I connect with my server ip forum url section on openvpn windows app , get an error that "failed to import profile". What is the solve guys?
Oracle is a pretty useless service here in South Africa, none of my instances completed installation, all terminated. When I tried to delete my tenant, that also failed.
Just a suggestion but maybe inform viewers that this requires a credit card(valid one with $ on it) so people without a card don't have to sit half way through this video.

Great video and really helpful! I couldn't get a grasp on how the setuper works but it's all clear now.
i get incorrect login at admin page.... also tried changing password nothing works
use the random password generated at the init stage of openvpn in your oracle instance
Thanx I've been looking for this topic for a while

i wish i was a king to just crown you SER..... you are a legend
Can you make a video how to do port forwarding to a client on VPN. I've done IT with other VPS services but cant seem to get to work on Oracle
Super helpful video. Thank you!
great video, thanks a lot!
Hi, very good tutorials!! Which is the link for your blog where you show all the things you can do with this free server?? I got it and it feels like it opened a new world for me. Thank you!
Wonderful tutorial as always! Thank you for your hard work! Greetings from Albania 😁
very helpful video..thanks so much.
Nice tutorial thanks 👍
Thanks 🙏
Should we add SSL and 2authentication on our OpenVPN server? If it adds more security on the service? Hopefully you can show us how to do it. thx! great video
Is there a way to do it on Microsoft Paint??
Thanks man, it helped a lot 👌
i do exactly what you do, but no matter what, my webui does not load. all the ports are open too. does anyone have any solution please?
Great tutorial!!!! great video!! awesome channel!!! thanks a lot for your help. The only thing that didn't work was "sudo passwd openvpn"but was not needed anyway. Greetings from Colombia.
tysm. your explaination is great. new sub
Thank you so much. It works for me. One question, if I change the location, say I travel to a different country, it would still work? Many thanks.
Where do we select location? USA, Switzerland, Netherlands? I didn't see that in the process!
What a great video. Thanks!
thanks!
Thank you very much. I really love your content
It didn't work for me because I don't have any visa, master either the other debit cards or bank account that oracle wants me during creating a free account. IT'S NOT A FREE ACCOUNT
Right? Why do they ask for all this information for a free-tier? I had no idea what to put for my address.
It's free. They ask for your Credit card information for security reasons. They don't want to allow users to create hundred of accounts for free.
Incorrect. Obviously they want to funnel you into paid services, but the reason you need the credit card is access limitation.
Well to be fair shape of you lody softs just like the first random notes that popped into Nice tutorials head
Awesome, I have setup.. Can you please make a tutorial about adblocking setup on the OpenVPN setup? So much thanks in advance
Your the best RUclipsr I ever seen!
😅 appreciate it - I wish RUclips would agree 🙃
very good tutorial thank you very much :)
Agreed. All the others just turn your brain upside down. Nice tutorials is simple.
his face is like he know what I'm gonna do with this VPN...

Correct, it’s still free if u stay under the limits
Great tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for. Question though…does Oracle keep track of the requests going out of my server?
Yes
You should've done a speedtest, other ppl here are saying that it's much slower than advertised.
Thanks for guide! Can you share knowlenge if you know how to create own .ovpn cert?
i am so impressed. thanks so much.
Glad you liked it!
I was only getting 10mbps on download speed with the free tier, when I signed up it gave me a month of ' premium tier ' - using that I was able to achieve download speeds of 130mbps 👍 I still want to go faster though 🏎
So on a free tier account the internet speed is only 10 Mbps, but if I upgrade my account, I can achieve at least 130 Mbps of speed. Correct?
@@velvetandroid5473 your internet has to be able to reach 130mbps in the first place
Thanks for the tutorial I got my VPN now up and running but the client speed is just between 10-15Mbps despite. If I perform a speedtest from the CLI of the instance I get speeds above 400Mbps.

You nailed it with Pakistan lol I felt called out haha
Great idea, thanks.
wow, thank you sir, love reading your books 👌
Thank you so much, you're the BEST!
Thanks bro 👍👍
Where is it you compare the speed when on VPN vs when not. Do we gain security at the expense of speed?
can you please install Pritunl VPN on Oracle cloud ?
Hi do you have any tips to make the connection speed consistent? Sometimes I get fast connection, sometimes it's slow
Too slow
would you be willing to make a VPN playlist on small fixes, I.E. VPN speed, how to switch to another country, have your VPN work on all other devices other than a PC? I felt like this was a good idea for the IdeaSpot.
Your artist na should be "Kristal Klear" because that was what I just watched here.
hello, I did everything in the instructions, but after turning on the vpn, the internet does not work, when I turn off the vpn, the internet works
Can you please install and make video for installing Pritunl VPN On oracle cloud .

I cant connect to that service with Mikrotik as client ? Could you make tutorial for that solution? Thanks a lot that was very useful.
My servers speed test is extremally slow. The region I picked was Sweden in Oracle Cloud
Thanks for the tutorial but the purple circle around the cursor was really annoying.
Which location will it connect to?
Can we switch to multiple location in the client?
bro almost whispering 💀
(great video tho)
not work any more >>>?
Hi, The Putty runtime doesn't open for me. get error 'network error. connection time out'
This method doesn't work to Netflix. It will return 403 error if accessed with OpenVPN. Now how to fix it?
I followed all steps but when connecting to the admin panel it doesn't connect. I redid the firewall config.
dont bother oraacle ask for debit card take verification payment sent it back and then you dont recieve and email confirming the acount. just a waste of time
seems like they just took the payment to gain your bank details for there system
