Want to access the Internet safely and securely by-passing the proxy servers, here’s an Azure ARM template to setup an OpenVPN server within couple of minutes.

Prerequisites

Microsoft Azure Subscription with some credits:-)

Clients

Tested for OpenVPN 2.4.1 and 2.3.14 clients on Windows 8.1 and above.

Github: source

The template provisions an Ubuntu 16.04 vm and sets up the OpenVPN server. Post deployment of the template, you just need to download the .ovnpn configuration file and pass the same to the OpenVPN client running on your machine.

That’s it you now have established a private tunnel to access the internet.
