Repeat last three steps to set up multiple VPN connections, obviously using a differentdownloaded OpenVPN configuration file each time (sometimes individual VPN servers are down for maintenance so you might want to have an alternate server available).ģ.

At the right end of the password entry text box, click on the people button and click on 'Store password for all users' so that the VPN can be automatically started by the system at boot up. In the VPN tab, paste in the OpenVPN user name and password (the ones you saved in the local text file). In the Network Connections window click on the plus sign in the lower left hand corner and choose the connection type of 'Import a saved VPN configuration.'Ĭlick on one of the downloaded OpenVPN configuration files. Left click on the tool bar's network icon by the clock and click on Edit Connections. Set up the server config files in Network Connections: Scroll down to the country section, click on the desired country, scroll down to the desired individual server and click on download (geographically closest usually works best). Go to Account, Downloads, scroll down to OpenVPN configuration files.Ĭlick on GNU/Linux, UDP, Standard Server Configs. Go to Account, OpenVPN/IKEv2 username and copy/paste the login user name and password to a local text file so you can use them later.
