[colug-432] OpenVPN Security Help

[Alon Ganon]

So I have been teaching myself quite a lot with VPS and such, and I have
built my own OpenVPN for me to securely connect while on possibly
insecure wifi. What are some additional steps I should take to increase
security. I built my current one on Digital Ocean using this guide,
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-14-04
. I have added Fail2Ban with a filter just for OpenVPN as well as
changed encryption to AES. I am only planning on my laptop, cell phone
to be used, but am planning to have it work for at least 5-10 devices
max including the girlfriends devices. Thank you in advance for any help



Best Regards,
