An OpenVPN server exists on the Internet. This is how an individual client will expose to all other clients of the VPN its private network.

The private network is 192.168.99.0/24. Create a ubuntu server installation.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install openvpn

Go to the VPN server and login admin. Configure your user profile as Admin/Auto-login and:

(not sure Admin is that important, need to remove and test)

The VPN server will now tell all clients that it will handle traffic for 192.168.99.0/24. Your client profile is now configured as a gateway for 99.0/24, so the server will NAT all traffic down the VPN to your client. However, your shiny new ubuntu client must then NAT the server traffic onto 99.0/24.

From http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2012/05/02/ubuntu-12-04-ipv4-nat-gateway-and-dhcp-server.

Everything up to Install DHCP server. Basically just enable routing and add the NAT iptables rules.

I like this post for creating your iptables https://wiki.debian.org/iptables

Log into the http openvpn server (LOGIN not CONNECT). Download your autologin profile, rename to .txt, open with WordPad (not Notepad).

Place the contents of this file in /etc/openvpn/client.conf on the ubuntu client.

Start OpenVPN client:

cd /etc/openvpn/
sudo openvpn client.conf
