Why would you do this? this way you can reach absolute anonymity at your own control where logs are kept by you. In addition you do not have to share resources and face downtimes by VPN providers or you can start you own VPN service.

1.) Depending on your version of Centos download enter the below command.
Code:
64bit:
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-1.8.5-CentOS6.x86_64.rpm

32bit:
wget http://swupdate.openvpn.org/as/openvpn-as-1.8.5-CentOS6.i386.rpm
2.) Now we need to use the RPM command on the file downloaded. (after running the command take note of the admin address and client address)
Code:
64bit:
rpm -i openvpnas-1.8.5-1.centos6 x86_64.rpm

32bit:
rpm -i openvpn-as-1.8.5-CentOS6.i386.rpm
3.) Enter your VPN password and be sure to use a secure password.

4.) Your VPN is setup, go to the client address which is usually your IP followed by port 943.

5.) Enter username "openvpn" without the " and the password you chose at stage 3, select connect from the dropdown menu and press enter.

6.) Download, install and run the client, on the notification bar click on the new openvpn icon, select your server IP, enter username "openvpn" and password you selected at stage 3.

7.) Ignore any warning and you have your brand new personal VPN on your Centos 6.


Additional information:

Go to the admin address given to you at stage 2. After accessing the admin page use the password you set at stage 3 and the username "openvpn" without the ". Using this page you can configure your VPN.

For sure this will apply for Centos VPS Linux hosting but there is a way to do same things with Windows VPS hosting?
I read a post on the forum if I use OpenVPN, I can change IP address on my Windows VPS.

I would have a screenshot for the admin page of OpenVPN and any basic guides on how to configure and using it.

Thanks for great tutorial!

Without a doubt this can make an application for Centos VPS Linux hosting but there's a method to do same things with Home windows VPS hosting?

I just read a publish around the forum basically use OpenVPN, I'm able to change Ip on my small Home windows VPS.
