I figured it was time to poke something new, so i got openvpn working so i can use the vps as a vpn. It was interesting. The guide I (followed)[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-and-configure-an-openvpn-server-on-ubuntu-20-04] had me install a certificate authority so I could sign my own certs i guess?
It was a fun experiment, and I guess it works? I'm not really using it for anything important I guess? I have a vpn on my home machine connected to it. Which makes it fun cos now every connection to this server comes from this server I guess? Ah well. Next up? Who knows!
