Use OVPN if security is of importance

Your privacy and security is the core focus of OVPN. That's why we've implemented a multi-layered security model.

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"}
