2. You will reach the Servers screen. Click Create Server button at the top right to create a new server.

3. The next step is to select the On-Premise option and enter the server details as given below:

• Package: You can select from Basic or Standard subscription options
• Server Type: Select On-Premise
• Server Name: An easily identifiable name of your choice
• IP address: Enter your server IP address
• VPN accounts: Select the number of VPN users you want to allow access to this server
• Coupon: Enter if you have any coupon available

Click on the Proceed button toward the right bottom of the screen.

4.  You will be now on the Order Summary screen which displays the details of your order.Click Proceed.

5. Now enter your credit card details as required on the screen and click on Pay Now option.

6. You will be redirected to the dashboard now. Here you can see the status of server creation.

7. You will be redirected to the Server Details screen where the registration token is displayed. Please copy the registration token to a safe place, this token is required when you deploy the server.

8. Now it's the time to connect to your server via SSH. You will need sudo access to complete the below steps. After the successful login, execute the following commands.

First, disable the default firewall rules. UTunnel will load it's own firewall rules automatically.

sudo systemctl stop ufw && systemctl disable ufw

Now go ahead and run the following commands.

sudo mkdir /utunnel && cd /utunnel

sudo wget https://files.utunnel.io/production/deploy/install_bundle_20.tar

sudo tar -xf install_bundle_20.tar

In the next command, you need to replace YOUR_REG_TOKEN with the registration token you copied from the Server Details page (Step #7).

sudo /utunnel/bin/utnservice register YOUR_REG_TOKEN

Now it's the time to start UTunnel Service on your server. Run following command for the same.

sudo /utunnel/bin/utnservice start

10. Make sure that inbound connections to the following ports are allowed to accept VPN connections.

Ports used for OpenVPN connections

• TCP 443
• UDP 443
• UDP 53 (if scramble VPN is enabled)

Ports used for IPSEC connections

• UDP 4500
• UDP 500

Now your server would be ready to accept VPN connection. Invite users into your server and start using VPN.
