Download and save the appropriate Debian package (.deb) file.
For Download we need to register an account in openvpn.net
Then go to the directory where you placed the downloaded file and enter the following command line, substituting the package filename:
As root, install the OpenVPN-AS package.
#dpkg -i openvpn-as-1.2.2-Ubuntu8.amd_64.deb
Run the “ovpn-init” program to choose initial settings
#/usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init
Access the Admin Web UI to continue configuration
Obtain a license key from the License Page and activate it via the Admin Web UI
Using the Admin Web UI, configure the desired network and authentication settings, then start the VPN Server
Remote users login to the Client Web Server and download a pre-configured Windows VPN Client software installer or client configuration file
Immediately after installing the Windows VPN Client software, remote users can access the VPN
Examples:
My network eth0 212.xx.xx.xx - public ip
eth1 192.168.2.2 - private ip
ubutnulinux@ubutnu-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i openvpn-as-1.2.2-Ubuntu9.i386.deb

OpenVPN Access Server v1.1
Initial Configuration Tool
------------------------------------------------------
Once you provide a few initial configuration settings,
OpenVPN Access Server can be configured by accessing
its Admin Web UI using your Web browser.
Please specify the network interface and IP address to be
used by the Admin Web UI:
(1) all interfaces: 0.0.0.0
(2) eth0: 212.XX.XX.XX
(3) eth0:0: 192.168.2.2
Please enter the option number from the list above (1-3).
> Press Enter for default [2]: 2
Please specify the port number for the Admin Web UI.
> Press ENTER for default [8443]:
To initially login to the Admin Web UI, you must use a
username and password that successfully authenticate you
with the host UNIX system (you can later modify the settings
so that RADIUS or LDAP is used for authentication instead).
You can login to the Admin Web UI as 'root' with your existing
root password or specify a different user account to use for this
purpose. If you choose to use a non-root account, you can create
a new user account or specify an existing user account.
Do you wish to login as 'root'?
> Press ENTER for default [yes]: no
> Specify the username for an existing user or for the new user account: test
Type the password for the 'test' account:
Confirm the password for the 'test' account:

You can now continue configuring OpenVPN Access Server by
directing your Web browser to this URL:
https://202.xx.xxx.xx.xx:8443/admin
Login as "test" with the same password used to authenticate
to this UNIX host.
See the Release Notes for this release at:

We can use system user as a vpn user, Here I have created one test user for accessing the vpn.
