Most OpenWrt soft-router systems we use day to day include the LuCI interface . It provides a convenient visual admin page, and thanks to contributions from many developers, it also supports plenty of easy-to-use graphical apps. luci-app-OpenVPN-server is one of the more common VPN server apps for LuCI. In simple terms, luci-app-OpenVPN-server is a LuCI interface for the OpenVPN server. With it, you can avoid the troublesome command line and configure your OpenVPN server directly through a web UI.
