I have a domain ns3245555.ip-163-131-175.eu which points to our website running on Apache2.

I also started Openvpn access server and I can reach it by going to the server's ip address and adding a port number "943" and "/admin" like so :

https://165.131.173.123:943/admin/

I want to install TLS(SSL) certificate for the Openvpn admin page and TLS certificates only work when a FQDN name for a OpenVPN Access Server is used.

How do I make our domain ns3245555.ip-163-131-175.eu point to https://165.131.173.123:943/admin/ ?

Any help much appreciated.

  • That isn't your domain name, it's OVH's, and they just assign it to your server while you are paying for it as a temporary name. It's expected that you will use your own domain name for anything significant. – Michael Hampton Jan 08 '21 at 10:12
  • I see. So I need to buy one and then point it to https://165.131.173.123:943/admin/ is that correct ? – Tomas.R Jan 08 '21 at 10:20
  • Yes, you need to have a domain name and point that to the IP address. Then you can create a certificate and use that for :943/admin. – Fredrik Feb 04 '21 at 20:15
  • Thanks @Fredrik. However, I found out that if one is using EasyRSA as a certificate authority then fully qualified domain name (fqdn) is not needed. – Tomas.R Feb 05 '21 at 13:54
