User authentication: OVPN file, containing user certificate + username/password. Server certificates are automatically generated and installed on the server when the instance is launched for the first time. Client certificates are generated in the web panel when a user is created and are embedded into the client configuration OVPN file. A ZIP archive containing two OVPN files (for TCP and UDP connections) can be downloaded for each client from the web panel directly or via a QR code.
OpenVPN-CLIENT SETUP
Before creating a VPN connection, you will need to install the OpenVPN client application on the client side. OpenVPN client applications are available on the web for Windows, Linux, Android, iOS and macOS. To create a VPN connection, simply import the OVPN configuration file into the client application. For Windows, we recommend using OpenVPN GUI application.
