Steps to setting up a VPN on a Ubuntu server
1. First install the openvpn software with the command.
aptitude install openvpn
all of the files will be located in the:

cp -R /usr/share/doc/openvpn/examples/easy-rsa/ ./
3. after copying the easy-rsa dir switch to easy-rsa/2.0/ where we will build the Certificates of Authority with some scripts provided.
4. edit the vars file and add in information for KEY_COUNTRY, KEY_PROVINCE, KEY_CITY, KEY_ORG, and KEY_EMAIL parameters. save and exit out back to easy-rsa/2.0/.
Nano vars
