Why OVPN?

OVPN is a court-proven VPN service that offers secure internet without country or streaming restrictions, and where ads no longer track your every move.

3. Connect to OVPN

To connect to OVPN, click on the network icon in the upper-right corner of the activity field.

Click on VPN Off

Click on Connect

After a few seconds the network icon should turn to a VPN icon if the connection is successful.

4. Automatic connection

To configure the VPN to start automatically on boot, open the terminal. In the terminal, type:

nm-connection-editor

This will open a new window. In the new window, select your connection type (usually Wired Connection 1 or Wireless Connection 1) and go to the General tab.

Tick the box next to Automatically connect to VPN and select the VPN connection you created previously.

Click on Save.

5. Finished

You should now be connected to OVPN and be able to browse the internet safely. To make sure everything was set up correctly, please check the dashboard to verify that you are connected.
