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.
Learn moreecho "CHANGE TO YOUR USERNAME" >> /etc/openvpn/credentials

openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/ovpn.conf --daemon
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"}
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.
