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：

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

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：

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中就可以，例如ca证书内联后就为
...
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 "" >> client.ovpn cat ca.crt >> client.ovpn echo "" >> client.ovpn echo "" >> client.ovpn cat client.crt >> client.ovpn echo "" >> client.ovpn echo "" >> client.ovpn cat client.key >> client.ovpn echo "" >> client.ovpn echo "key-direction 1" >> client.ovpn echo "" >> client.ovpn cat ta.key >> client.ovpn echo "" >> 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。
