+sudo apt update
+sudo apt upgrade

+A user was created as a designated PiVPN user. This is not strictly necessary, but I feel it is best. The home dir is set as `/opt/pivpn` because this server's schema designates a directory in `/opt` for each service
+```
+sudo adduser pivpn --home=/opt/pivpn

+## Deployment
+The installation command was copied from the [PiVPN website](https://pivpn.io/):
+```
+curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash

+- `eth0` was selected for the IPv4 and IPv6 interface
+- Yes was selected for the DHCP reservation(set via router's web interface)
+- The user previously created is selected as the designated PiVPN user, this is not strictly necessary, any user will do.
+- Wireguard is selected as the VPN, although the process is very similar for OpenVPN
+- The default port is likely fine, remember to open the port. Wireguard is strictly UDP, with OpenVPN using both TCP and UDP
+- The DNS server selection is personal preference, this is where I selected my Pihole
+- The access method was set as the network's WAN IP, I have never used the other options
+- Unattended security patches were enabled
