Students will learn to configure and set up an OpenVPN server. OpenVPN is an open-source Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution. VPNs extend a private network over a public network, allowing users to send and receive data the public networks as if they are directly connected to the private network.
Students will learn to set up a Certificate Authority to create the keys and certificates needed to (1) authenticate users (VPN clients) and the VPN server and, (2) encrypt communication between the two. They will also learn how to revoke client certificates when needed.
