 This is a set of shell scripts that serve to easily turn your Raspberry Pi (TM)

+Have you been looking for a good guide or tutorial for installing openvpn on a raspberry pi or ubuntu based server?  Run this script and you don't need a guide or tutorial, this will do it all for you, in a fraction of the time and with hardened security settings in place by default.  
 
-> This will also work on a free-tier Amazon AWS server using Ubuntu 14.04.  I don't want to support every scenario there but getting it to run and install successfully on a free server in the cloud was also important.  Many people have untrustworthy ISP's so running on a server elsewhere means you can connect to the VPN from home and your ISP will just see encrypted traffic as your traffic will now be leaving out the amazon infrastructure.

+Jessie and has been tested on Ubuntu 14.04 running from an Amazon AWS image.  Personally, I'd recommend using the Jessie Lite image on a raspberry pi in your home so you can VPN into your home from unsecure remote locations and safely use the internet.  However, the scripts do try to detect different distributions and make adjustments accordingly.  They should work on the majority of Ubuntu and Debian based distributions including those using UFW by default instead of raw iptables.

+This scripts primary mission in life is to allow a user to have a home VPN for as cost effective as possible and without being a technical wizard.  Hence the design of pivpn to work on a Raspberry Pi ($35) and then one command installer.  Followed by easy management of the VPN thereafter with the 'pivpn' command.  That being said...
