  • It all seems pretty simple.

    Set up the droplet,
    Download the file using wget
    Install
    Set the password
    Go to the webpage to set it up.

    Sadly the last step doesn't work, I get

    This site can’t be reached

    46.100.34.174 refused to connect.
    ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

    Not sure if there is something extra I need to be doing to start the service or what.

  • ah yes there is a gotcha and that's due to the Digital Ocean setup.

    /usr/local/openvpn_as/bin/ovpn-init

    run that command, and when it asks which ip/ports to bind to make sure you select ALL. I think it's option 0

  • Cheers, that did it (the one to select is 1 from options 1,2,3 It's the only one without a yes/no answer). Should probably have tried changing those options rather than diving in to editing stuff and cursing my inability to use Vim.

    Speed seems good. Was getting 6.4MB/s on my main laptop which was the same as unencrypted (not sure why I wasn't getting full speed, either Virgin or newsgroup server). PIA was getting 2MB/s

    Only getting half that speed on my server. I suspect it may be due to the crappy processor although it only shows usage at 20%. Will have to look further into that.

    For those wondering about iplayer though I get a message that I'm not in the UK so no use there.

    Good overall though and really quick to set up once you know how. Cheers
