If you’re using Kali Linux, you may want to install OpenVPN at some point. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.
From the Desktop, click the Network Manager icon at the top right of the screen. Next, select OpenVPN from the drop-down menu. Once you’ve done that, click “Create.”
When creating the connection, give it a name and enter the VPN server hostname or IP address in the Gateway field. After the server hostname or IP address, put a colon and then the port number. And that’s it! You should now be able to connect to the VPN server.

Before we get started, you’ll need to sign up for a free ProtonVPN account. Once you’ve done that, download the ProtonVPN configuration files from the website. You’ll need to unzip the file before you can continue.
Now open a terminal window and change into the directory where you downloaded the files. Then run the following command to install ProtonVPN:
sudo bash protonvpn-cli -i
Enter your sudo password when prompted. The installation process will take a few minutes to complete. Once it’s finished, run the following command to connect to a VPN server:
protonvpn connect

Connected successfully! Your new IP address is 123.456.789
Worth knowing
To get started, you’ll need to have a Linux server with an Internet connection. This could be a physical machine or a virtual private server (VPS). We’ll also assume that you have root access to this server.
If you want to connect to your VPN from Windows, Mac, or another Linux machine, you’ll need to install the OpenVPN client on that machine as well. The instructions for doing so can be found here.
Once everything is set up, open a terminal window on your server and run the following commands:
sudo yum install epel-release -y # Fedora/RHEL 7/8 only # For Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openvpn zip unzip -y
sudo yum install openvpn -y # Fedora/RHEL 7/8 only # For Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install openvpn zip unzip -y
wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh
This will download and run a script that will set up OpenVPN on your server. Just follow the prompts and fill in your desired settings. When it’s finished, you should see something like this:
Congratulations! Your OpenVPN server is now up and running! Connect to your new VPN by running: ovpn_getclient > clientname.ovpn And then use the OpenVPN client on your local machine to connect using the generated config file named “clientname .ovpn”.
