OVPN has opened an additional region in the US: Denver. We hope that it'll provide our customers located in US better speeds and unlocked streaming content.
As always, the VPN server in Denver is physically owned by us and contains zero hard drives, is completely log free and has the same security features as all of OVPN's data centers.
Accessing the VPN server in Denver, US
There are a couple of different ways to connect to the VPN server in Denver as the VPN server supports both OpenVPN and WireGuard®.
Desktop client
As old server lists may be cached from before the servers were launched, please note that you might be required to manually log out and log in again to load the new server list. If you have yet to install the OVPN Desktop client, you can get started here.
- Login to the OVPN Desktop client
- Option 1: Choose "Select best server in USA" in the first drop-down menu and press connect.
- Option 2: Choose "Select server manually". Select the new server in Denver in the server list and press connect.

OpenVPN and third party systems
To connect with OpenVPN GUI, Tunnelblick, Viscosity or any other third party VPN client, new configuration files for Denver have been made available in each of their guides. Simply select your corresponding setup guide and follow the steps.
WireGuard
Go to the WireGuard configuration generator in order to generate a configuration file and keys to connect to the new VPN server in USA.
Data center & server specifications
We're currently renting 1 height unit in Coresite DE1's data center on 910 5th Street. As of now, we have a 10 Gbit/s uplink to DataPacket's network. The current transit and peering capabilities are Cogent, Comcast, Arelion.
As soon as we
get close to reaching the

mostly WireGuard traffic, we will make sure to send additional servers
