{{ command }}

Total infrastructure ownership

All the hardware used to operate OVPN is owned by us. All VPN servers operate without hard drives as the operating system only resides in RAM.

3. Download components

yum update && yum install openvpn unzip wget

4. Download the configuration you want

5. Enter your login credentials

echo  "CHANGE TO YOUR USERNAME"  >> /etc/openvpn/credentials

echo "CHANGE TO YOUR PASSWORD" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials

6. Start OpenVPN and see that everything works

openvpn --cd /etc/openvpn/ --config client.conf --daemon

7. Verify that the connection was successful

Wait about 30 seconds and then run:

curl https://www.ovpn.com/v2/api/client/ptr

You should see something like:

{"status":true,"ip":"the external ip","ptr":"PTR for the IP address"}

8. Done

Congratulations! Your device is now protected behind OVPN and will automatically connect on reboots. If you encountered any issues, please send the log file (/tmp/openvpn.log) to our support.
