openvpn组网技术原理及配置过程（centos服务器/安卓客户端/linux客户端）

最近研究了一段时间的openvpn组网技术，也试着搭建了一个openvpn环境，大概理解了其中使用的一些技术原理，还是记录一下。本篇文章对专业搞网络的人也许用处不大，但是对于初次接触这些技术（比如vpn，代理技术，加密隧道，防火墙，路由，局域网组网）的人还是有一定价值的，便于理清整个vpn组网技术的脉络，也可以在遇到问题的时候自己排查。

openvpn是众多vpn种类的一种，是一个开源的产品，也是应用最广泛的一种vpn。支持的平台很多，我们常用的系统平台linux，window，安卓都支持。我搭建的openvpn服务端是运行在centos上，客户端是运行在安卓手机上的。其实不管运行在哪个平台，配置基本都是一样的。openvpn还有一个重要的功能是可以使用UDP协议传输数据，这相对于使用TCP传输数据的vpn，速度要快很多。

openvpn能构建一个虚拟专用网络（VPN），很多人也许不是很了解这句话包含的内容。一个是"虚拟的"，说的是这个网络内的各个主机在地理位置上，可能不是在相邻的地域，可能在地球的两端，可能横跨了整个互联网。这样看起来，这个网络就不像一个局域网，但是在逻辑上，是真正意义上的一个局域网。"虚拟"其实重点是指数据传输的通道上，这个通道是虚拟的，主机的网卡也是虚拟的，不是真实的网卡。还有一个形容词"专用"，这个就是指能和外部网络隔绝起来，为了不被外部网络影响，数据不被窥伺窃取篡改，VPN网络中两个主机之间的通信数据都会经过加密，这样的加密通信通道我们就称之为加密隧道。并且任何一台主机想要加入这个网络，都需要经过严格的认证授权。

VPN的数据包是在TCP/UDP数据包的基础上做了一层封装，这个封装的数据里就是VPN网络里面的局域网数据包，其中和正常的TCP/UDP数据包一样，也有源ip端口，目的ip端口。当然，这些局域网的数据包信息，只有解密了才能看到，外部即使截获了这个数据包，也解密不了其中的数据。这个数据包（也许是在互联网上）经过了漫长的传输后，到达最终目的地后才会能被正确的解密，递交给上层应用。

安装VPN客户端的主机上，当认证授权成功后加入VPN网络，都会新增一个虚拟网卡，作为VPN网络通信的专用网卡，VPN服务器启动成功后也一样虚拟出这个专用网卡。网卡的名称一般为tun0,就像下面的：

一、openvpn数据收发工作原理

其中openvpn收发数据处理过程，我大致画了一下，如下图：

上面的VPN主机1就相当于openvpn的客户端，VPN主机2就相当于openvpn的服务器。其中eth0网卡是真实的网卡，对外连接外部网络，tun0是openvpn的虚拟出来的网卡，专门处理openvpn的数据。

数据发送进程，想要给VPN网络中的其他节点发送数据，就使用对端局域网的ip来发送，也就是10.8.0.2这个ip。这个数据发送进程发送的数据，先交给内核的协议栈进行TCP/IP数据包的封装，这个TCP/IP数据包经过本地路由后，本地的路由会直接交给tun0网卡（注意，此处还有一个重要的角色本地路由表），因为tun0网卡是openvpn这个进程虚拟出来的网卡，数据包交给tun0网卡后都会经过openvpn这个进程的处理，openvpn会把收到的数据用自己的openvpn协议进行封装，然后加密成密文（这个加密过程应该是使用开源的ssl或者tls协议），加密完成后就发送给对端（数据接收端）的openvpn进程。至于是怎么知道接收端的openvpn进程的ip端口的，是在开始的时候openvpn客户端和服务端的一些列认证完成后，这个连接才能建立成功的。发送端的openvpn进行把密文数据发出后，也会经过内核的协议栈，进行TCP/IP的协议组包，然后再次经过本地的路由表进行路由，路由表会把这个TCP/IP包交给外网出口网卡eth0发送出去。此时，整个数据的发送过程结束。

VPN主机1从网卡eth0发送的TCP/IP数据包，经过漫长的路由和转发，最终到达目的地，也就是，数据包通过VPN主机2的外网网卡eth0进入，内核协议栈解析这个TCP/IP数据包，知道这个数据包的目的ip端口号(2.2.2.2:1194),于是交给了openvpn进程（openvpn接收进程）处理。openvpn进程对接收到的数据先进行解密，得到openvpn协议数据，然后把VPN主机1数据发送进程发送的数据，转发到tun0网卡（这个转发的处理过程不是很清楚，究竟是重新组TCP/IP包还是原样把发送进程经过tun0网卡后的TCP/IP包转发，我们不去深究，最终的到达VPN主机2的tun0网卡时都是一样的），数据到达tun0网卡后也会经过内核去分发，内核协议栈把TCP/IP的包头都去掉，只把数据部分交给数据接收进程。

至此，数据收发的过程完成。

二、openvpn认证（加密隧道建立）

上面的章节，介绍了openvpn网络中两个主机的数据收发过程，但是两个主机在能进行数据收发前，要先建立数据传输通道，这个就是加入openvpn网络的认证过程。数据通道的建立的过程，也是openvpn客户端和服务端进行协商的过程。openvpn采用ssl协议通信，既然采用ssl，那么就会有证书验证，协商对称加密密钥的过程。需要生成ca证书，服务端证书客户端证书等。具体的原理这里不细说，可以自行去谷歌。openvpn客户端认证通过后就和服务端建立了一条加密隧道，也就是一条安全的数据通道。

三、路由表在openvpn组网中的作用

在第一部分介绍原理的时候，说发往数据接收端ip10.8.0.2的数据包，都转发给tun0网卡处理，这是怎么做到的？答案就是路由表。在openvpn客户端和服务器之间认证通过后，openvpn客户端就会修改我们本地的路由表，添加一条路由记录，指示本地路由收到发往ip10.8.0.2的数据包，都交给tun0网卡转发。

除了上面提到的第一个作用之外，在openvpn工作的过程中，路由表还有一个作用，就是把本地所有的数据包（流量）都路由到openvpn服务端的机器上，也就是把openvpn服务端的机器，作为本地机器的网关。把openvpn服务端作为网关的一个作用是，可以让openvpn局域网中的节点，通过openvpn服务端机器访问互联网，作为外网的出口。就类似我们平常用路由器上网的网络拓扑结构，路由器（openvpn服务端所在机器）作为NAT设备，代理接入互联网。真正起到NAT作用的是服务端所在主机的防火墙进程，而不是openvpn服务端进程。linux下的防火墙也是一门高深的技术，功能十分强大。

openvpn客户端认证成功后，路由表的信息类似以下的截图：

tun0网卡的信息如下：

即openvpn客户端认证接入openvpn服务器后，分配到的局域网ip是10.8.0.6，服务器本身的局域网ip是10.8.0.5，这是一个点对点的网络。红线圈住的那几条就是openvpn新增的路由规则，其中第一条就是把openvpn服务端作为网关的路由规则。

四、openvpn安装配置过程

1、服务器端（centos）

我的服务服务端是部署在centos操作系统上的，安装openvpn就很简单了，直接用yum命令安装:

yum install -y openvpn

linux下安装的openvpn，客户端和服务端是一起的，运行的是服务端还是客户端，主要取决于配置文件。这个跟stunnel类似。

安装完成后，会有同时安装一些配置样例文件，用下面的命令进行查找：

find / -name "*openvpn*"

一般是/usr/share/doc/openvpn-xxx目录下，xxx是版本号。其中我们需要的几个文件就在sample/sample-config-files目录下，如下图：

安装服务端的时候，我们复制firewall.sh、openvpn-shutdown.sh、openvpn-startup.sh、server.conf这几个文件到一个单独的目录下，比如/root/openvpn-server，如果你能看懂这几个配置文件里面的信息，就可以对应着修改一下，以符合你的部署要求。

下面是我修改以后的配置：

openvpn-startup.sh文件：

#!/bin/sh

# A sample OpenVPN startup script
# for Linux.

# openvpn config file directory
# 此处获取当前目录路径
dir=`pwd`

# load the firewall 
# 调用firewall.sh脚本配置防火墙
$dir/firewall.sh
#iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

# load TUN/TAP kernel module
modprobe tun

# enable IP forwarding 打开ipv4的转发功能
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# Invoke openvpn for each VPN tunnel
# in daemon mode.  Alternatively,
# you could remove "--daemon" from
# the command line and add "daemon"
# to the config file.
#
# Each tunnel should run on a separate
# UDP port.  Use the "port" option
# to control this.  Like all of
# OpenVPN's options, you can
# specify "--port 8000" on the command
# line or "port 8000" in the config
# file.

# 启动openvpn服务端
openvpn --cd $dir --daemon --config server.conf

firewall.sh文件：

#!/bin/sh

# A Sample OpenVPN-aware firewall.

# eth0 is connected to the internet.
# eth1 is connected to a private subnet.

# Change this subnet to correspond to your private
# ethernet subnet.  Home will use HOME_NET/24 and

iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -s $LOOP -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -s $LOOP -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -d $LOOP -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -d $LOOP -j DROP

# Anything coming from the Internet should have a real Internet address
# 这里是对一些有可能是错误发送的包进行丢弃
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/16 -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -s 172.16.0.0/12 -j DROP

# Block outgoing NetBios (if you have windows machines running
# on the private subnet).  This will not affect any NetBios
# traffic that flows over the VPN tunnel, but it will stop
# local windows machines from broadcasting themselves to

# 这里是对windows的一些服务端口进行屏蔽，我们是linux不用管
iptables -A FORWARD -p tcp --sport 137:139 -o eth0 -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -p udp --sport 137:139 -o eth0 -j DROP
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 137:139 -o eth0 -j DROP

#iptables -A FORWARD -s ! $PRIVATE -i eth1 -j DROP
#iptables -A FORWARD -m iprange ! --src-range 10.0.0.0-10.0.0.255 -i eth1 -j DROP

# Allow local loopback 这里是对回环地址放行
iptables -A INPUT -s $LOOP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -d $LOOP -j ACCEPT

# Allow incoming pings (can be disabled) 这里是对icmp协议放行，也就是能响应ping命令
iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

# Allow services such as www and ssh (can be disabled) 这里是对常用的服务端口入栈放行
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport http -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6679 -j ACCEPT

# Allow incoming OpenVPN packets
# Duplicate the line below for each
# OpenVPN tunnel, changing --dport n
# to match the OpenVPN UDP port.
#
# In OpenVPN, the port number is
# controlled by the --port n option.
# If you put this option in the config
# file, you can remove the leading '--'
#
# If you taking the stateful firewall
# approach (see the OpenVPN HOWTO),
# then comment out the line below.

# 这里是自己想要放行的端口和协议数据，有其他端口可以自行添加
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 9981 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 9981 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6379 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 6379 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 6680 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 6680 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1723 -j ACCEPT

# Allow packets from TUN/TAP devices.
# When OpenVPN is run in a secure mode,
# it will authenticate packets prior
# to their arriving on a tun or tap
# interface.  Therefore, it is not
# necessary to add any filters here,
# unless you want to restrict the
# type of packets which can flow over
# the tunnel.

# 这里主要是对tun+网卡和tap+网卡的入栈和转发数据包放行，+号应该表示的是一个通配符
iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i tap+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i tap+ -j ACCEPT

# Allow packets from private subnets 这里是对eth1网卡的入栈和转发数据包放行
iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -j ACCEPT

# Keep state of connections from local machine and private subnets
# 这里是放行状态为NEW的出栈数据包
iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state NEW -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
# 这里放行已经建立连接和关联的入栈数据包
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
# 这里放行需要转发的包，有这两条，本机才能作为NAT代理客户端访问互联网
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

# Masquerade local subnet
# 对于需要通过openvpn服务端访问外网的客户端节点，这个防火墙配置是必需的，也是最重要的配置
# 这个防火墙的配置是将路由后的源IP地址是10.8.0.0/24，输出网卡是eth0的数据包的源ip地址进行修改，改成本机的ip地址，这样响应数据包才能正确的给我们转发回来
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $PRIVATE -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

这个防火墙配置，比较考验技术，新手一般看不懂，除非对防火墙的原理很熟悉，如果要介绍完全这些防火墙配置，需要另一篇长篇大论 。这个配置是根据样例文件修改后的，大体还是不变，只做了小部分的修改。这个官方给的样例，是对防火墙规则做了严密的设计。如果你对安全性要求不高，可以将防火墙的INPUT、FORWARD、OUTPUT链的策略都改成ACCEPT,那么就只需要少许的防火墙配置就能达到目的，比如如下的配置（没有实际调试过，不保证正确性）：

PRIVATE=10.8.0.0/24

# 清空原有INPUT链的防火墙规则
iptables -F
# 放行所有输出包
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
# 放行所有输入包
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
# 放行所有需要转发的包
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

# 对于需要通过openvpn服务端访问外网的客户端节点，这个防火墙配置是必需的，也是最重要的配置
# 这个防火墙的配置是将路由后的源IP地址是10.8.0.0/24，输出网卡是eth0的数据包的源ip地址进行修改，改成本机的ip地址，这样响应数据包才能正确的给我们转发回来
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s $PRIVATE -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

# Then create a file ccd/Thelonious with this line:
#   iroute 192.168.40.128 255.255.255.248
# This will allow Thelonious' private subnet to
# access the VPN.  This example will only work

# By default, log messages will go to the syslog (or

这个server.conf服务端配置文件也是根据样例文件做的一些修改。一些比较重要的配置我已经标注出来了。证书的话需要自己制作，使用openssl命令就可以生成。参考：OPenSSL-生成证书-CSDN博客

openvpn-shutdown.sh文件就不用改了，所有配置都配好就就可以启动openvpn服务器：

./openvpn-startup.sh

如果有报错就看当前目录下的openvpn.log文件查看错误

检查是否启动成功：

netstat -nlap | grep openvpn

看到6379端口在监听就说明启动成功

2、客户端（centos）

服务端启动成功后，可以使用linux的客户端连接一下，看能不能正常工作，一般都不会一次成功，都会有各种各样的问题。

centos系统上的openvpn客户端和服务端是不区分的，前面讲服务的部署的时候提到有一个client.conf的样例配置文件，我也是拿这个来改了一下。

client.conf文件如下：

##############################################
# Sample client-side OpenVPN 2.0 config file #
# for connecting to multi-client server.     #
#                                            #
# This configuration can be used by multiple #
# clients, however each client should have   #
# its own cert and key files.                #
#                                            #
# On Windows, you might want to rename this  #
# file so it has a .ovpn extension           #
##############################################

# Specify that we are a client and that we
# will be pulling certain config file directives
# from the server.
# 这里需要指明是客户端才行
client

# Use the same setting as you are using on
# the server.
# On most systems, the VPN will not function
# unless you partially or fully disable
# the firewall for the TUN/TAP interface.
# 这里跟服务端的配置一样
;dev tap
dev tun

# Windows needs the TAP-Win32 adapter name
# from the Network Connections panel
# if you have more than one.  On XP SP2,
# you may need to disable the firewall
# for the TAP adapter.
;dev-node MyTap

# Are we connecting to a TCP or
# UDP server?  Use the same setting as
# on the server.
# 这里是使用协议，必须跟服务端一致
proto tcp
;proto udp

# The hostname/IP and port of the server.
# You can have multiple remote entries
# to load balance between the servers.
# 这里填服务器端的IP端口
remote 1.1.1.1 6679
#remote my-server-2 1194

# Choose a random host from the remote
# list for load-balancing.  Otherwise
# try hosts in the order specified.
;remote-random

# Keep trying indefinitely to resolve the
# host name of the OpenVPN server.  Very useful
# on machines which are not permanently connected
# to the internet such as laptops.
# 这里就用默认的配置
resolv-retry infinite

# Most clients don't need to bind to
# a specific local port number.
# 这里指明通信绑定的端口，一般都不指定，系统随机分配
nobind

# Downgrade privileges after initialization (non-Windows only)
;user nobody
;group nobody

# Try to preserve some state across restarts.
# 这里不是很懂用来干嘛的，看注释是重启的时候维持一些状态，我们就使用默认配置
persist-key
persist-tun

# If you are connecting through an
# HTTP proxy to reach the actual OpenVPN
# server, put the proxy server/IP and
# port number here.  See the man page
# if your proxy server requires
# authentication.
;http-proxy-retry # retry on connection failures
;http-proxy [proxy server] [proxy port #]

# Wireless networks often produce a lot
# of duplicate packets.  Set this flag
# to silence duplicate packet warnings.
;mute-replay-warnings

# SSL/TLS parms.
# See the server config file for more
# description.  It's best to use
# a separate .crt/.key file pair
# for each client.  A single ca
# file can be used for all clients.
# 这里就配置ssl通信用的ca证书，客户端证书，客户端私钥，可以指定路径，默认是当前目录
ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key

# Verify server certificate by checking that the
# certicate has the correct key usage set.
# This is an important precaution to protect against
# a potential attack discussed here:
#  http://openvpn.net/howto.html#mitm
#
# To use this feature, you will need to generate
# your server certificates with the keyUsage set to
#   digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
# and the extendedKeyUsage to
#   serverAuth
# EasyRSA can do this for you.
# 这里需要注更改默认的配置，默认是打开的，因为我制作的服务端证书没有它指定的几个信息，我就不做校验了，当然你也可以按他的指示重新制作服务端证书，这个是为了避免潜在的攻击的
#remote-cert-tls server

# If a tls-auth key is used on the server
# then every client must also have the key.
# 这里配置tls认证key，这个就是服务器使用的ta.key，两端是同一个文件
tls-auth ta.key 1

# Select a cryptographic cipher.
# If the cipher option is used on the server
# then you must also specify it here.
# Note that v2.4 client/server will automatically
# negotiate AES-256-GCM in TLS mode.
# See also the ncp-cipher option in the manpage
# 加密算法，跟服务端要一致，但是我发现服务端配置的是AES-256-GCM，这里配置的是AES-256-CBC，也一样能正常加解密，比较奇怪，可能最终协商一致就可以
cipher AES-256-CBC

# Enable compression on the VPN link.
# Don't enable this unless it is also
# enabled in the server config file.
#comp-lzo

# Set log file verbosity.
# 日志等级
verb 3

# Silence repeating messages
;mute 20
# 服务端已经配置，这里不需要重新配置
;redirect-gateway autolocal

配置完成后开始启动客户端：openvpn --config client.conf

如果打印如下的日志，就是连接成功了

连接成功后我们查看一下网卡配置：

看到tun0网卡已经被创建好，服务端分配给我们客户端的ip是10.8.0.6,因为是点对点的网络，对端显示的ip是10.8.0.5，但是我们试着ping一下这个ip，发现ping不通，似乎这个ip是不存在的。但是我们此时去服务端查看一下服务端的tun0网卡的ip发现是10.8.0.1，于是尝试ping这个ip证明我们已经和服务端建立了通信：

看到能ping通，说明已经能和服务端通信，vpn网络已经组网完成。

在测试过程中我发现客户端和服务器端是能进行通信，但是客户端主机解析不了域名，用命令：cat /etc/resolv.conf 查看了一下域名服务器地址，发现域名服务器地址还是本地的ip，没有自动改成服务器端给我们推送的DNS地址。我手动把这个文件的DNS地址改成服务端推送的DNS地址就可以正常进行域名解析了。此时就可以通过openvpn访问外网，客户端所有流量都会通过服务器端转发。

3、客户端（Android）

对于openvpn的安卓客户端，有两款，一款叫OpenVPN Connect ,一款叫**OpenVPN For Android，**两款都可以用，可能需要一点技术才能下载到。

openvpn的安卓客户，在制作配置文件的时候会有点麻烦，但是如果掌握了方法也很简单。刚开始我认为配置文件在各个平台都通用，我已经在linux上配置好配置文件，直接拷贝到安卓上就行，但是发现导入配置文件的时候只能导入一个文件，那还有ca证书，客户端证书，客户端私钥，还有ta.key文件怎么导入？没法办只能求助谷歌，找了很久才在openvpn的社区中找到安卓配置文件的制作方法。

原来openvpn的配置文件支持把这些证书文件内联到配置文件中。就拿以上centos客户端的配置文件来举例，需要以下四个配置项

ca ca.crt
cert client.crt
key client.key
tls-auth ta.key 1

即需要内联四个证书，内联的时候只需要将证书文件内容包含在<configItemName></configItemName>中就可以，例如ca证书内联后就为

<ca>
...
</ca>

于是就可以拿上面的centos客户端配置来制作，先把client.conf改成文件名client.ovpn,安卓只支持这个后缀名文件。然后执行下面的命令将证书内联进配置文件:

echo "<ca>" >> client.ovpn
cat ca.crt >> client.ovpn
echo "</ca>" >> client.ovpn
echo "<cert>" >> client.ovpn
cat client.crt >> client.ovpn
echo "</cert>" >> client.ovpn
echo "<key>" >> client.ovpn
cat client.key >> client.ovpn
echo "</key>" >> client.ovpn
echo "key-direction 1" >> client.ovpn
echo "<tls-auth>" >> client.ovpn
cat ta.key >> client.ovpn
echo "</tls-auth>" >> client.ovpn

因为tls-auth ta.key 1这个配置除了配置ta.key证书文件，还有一个配置参数，所以内联了ta.key文件后，还需要添加key-direction 1这个配置参数。

OpenVPN Connect 导入配置文件，就是点右下角的加号->Upload File->BROWSE,选择配置文件后导入。OpenVPN For Android导入配置，就是点击右上角的加号->IMPORT导入。这两款App的配置文件都通用

导入配置文件后，就可以点连接，如果没连上可以点右上角的按钮查看日志，然后再排查文件。如果显示连接成功，那么恭喜你，可以使用自己的openvpn了。
