How to Install Webmin for your newly installed VPN Server:

What is Webmin?


Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.

Requirement:
Must have ROOT access on your VPN Server.
