2. What Is Raspberry PI
 A credit card-sized computer
 Originally designed for education
 Small size and accessible price
 Slower than a modern laptop or
desktop
 A complete Linux computer
 Low-power consumption level

3. Specification of hardware
 Micro USB power
 Broadcom BCM2835
 SD CARD slot
 DSI display connector
 GPIO HEADERS
 JTAG HEADERS
 RCA VIDEO OUT
 AUDIO OUT
 STATUS LEDS
 USB 2.0
 ETHERNET OUT
 CSI connector camera
 HDMI OUT

4. Hardware specification of
Raspberry PI

5. Application of Raspberry Pi
VPN Server

6. What is VPN?
 Virtual Private Network
 A method used to add security and
privacy to private and public networks
like Wifi hotspots and the internet

7. Why we use VPN?
 Protect sensitive data
 Secures computer’s internet
connection
 Data sending and receiving are
completely safe

8. What we need for
 Raspberry Pi
 Micro SD Card or a SD card
 Ethernet Cord
Optional:
 Raspberry Pi case
 USB keyboard
 USB mouse

9. Getting prepared for VPN server

10.  A VPN is needed before
starting setting up this app
 Preparing VPN Server’s
IP
Address
 Port Forward for
Raspberry
Pi VPN
Prepared for VPN server

11. Installing the VPN Server

12. Installing (Continued)
 We would have to install the
software, generate the
encryption keys, add the port
to the firewall, set the Pi to
keep a static IP Address and
much more
 Before starting, we should first
change the password of
default Pi users
 With the password changed
we can begin the process of
setting up our VPN server on
the Raspberry Pi

13.  Then a screen
will appear. We
have to press enter
to proceed to the
next screen
 The next screen
basically explains
that it will need to
setup a static IP
Address for the
Raspberry Pi
Installing (Continued)

14. Installing (Continued)
 Here we will just be
selecting YES to using
the current network
settings as a static
local IP Address.
 A warning will be
presented next which
warns that there is a
chance the router will
assign the IP Address
to another device.

15.  The next screen
explains that we will
need to set a local user
that the OVPN
configurations will be
created for. Just select
OK and go onto the
next
screen.
 A list of users that can
be chosen is
presentated
Installing (Continued)

16.  A feature with an
explanation of
unattended
upgrades
will be presented.
We
have to select OK
 On the next screen,
we highly
recommend
selecting YES
Installing (Continued)

17.  Now we will be
asked to set the
protocol that
OpenVPN will run
through
 Now we will be
selecting the port
OpenVPN will
operate through
Installing (Continued)

18.  This is the
confirmation screen
for the port number
we set, if we have
chosen the port then
select YES to
continue
 Now we must
choose
the encryption key
size
Installing (Continued)

19.  The next screen
basically tells us
what the PiVPN
script is about to
do
 We now need to
decide whether
we want to make
use of our public IP
Address or utilize a
Dynamic IP service
such as no-ip.org.
Installing (Continued)

20.  If we have selected
DNS then we can
set DNS name here
 The next step is to
select a DNS
provider
Installing (Continued)

21.  We have now
successfully
completed
the installation of
Raspberry Pi VPN
 We will now be
greeted by a screen
asking for us to
reboot the
Raspberry
Pi, just select YES
Installing (Continued)

22. Setting up the First OpenVPN
User

23.  Run the following
command sudo
pivpn
add
 We will need to enter
a name for the client
 It will ask to set a
password for the
client
 Once we have
entered IP Address,
Username and
Password, press
the quickconnect
button
Setting (Continued)

24.  We have successfully
logged in, we need to
look for the ovpns
folder
 Now all we need to do
is drag the .ovpn file
we
want to somewhere
safe on computer
Setting (Continued)

25.  Now we have
the .ovpn file on
our device we can
use this to make a
connection to our
VPN
 We will be
presented with a
file explorer
screen, in here go
to where we saved
the .ovpn file from
earlier
Setting (Continued)

26. Setting (Continued)
 We should now be
presented with a
dialog that the file has
been successfully
imported into
OpenVPN
 Now right click the
OpenVPN client icon
in the taskbar again,
this time click Connect

27.  Now the OpenVPN
client will attempt to
read the data
located
in the .ovpn file
 The OpenVPN
client will now
attempt to connect
to Raspberry Pi’s
VPN server
Setting (Continued)

28. Let’s SEE

29. Objectives
 Simple
 Flexible
 Manageable
 Secure

30. The VPN Server using
Raspberry PI project is
completed
