**OpenVPN**

A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a method used to add security and privacy to private and public networks, like WiFi Hotspots and the Internet. This server provides VPN's via OpenVPN and provided the service has been enabled for you, then you can download your login credentials for OpenVPN here.

If OpenVPN access has been enabled for you, you can download either an OVPN file with all the connection details needed to use this server as VPN server. Or you can download a ZIP-file that contains the OVPN file, the public server certificate and your public and private OpenVPN certificate.

An OVPN file can be directly imported into certain VPN clients. We recommend 'OpenVPN Connect', which is available for both Apple and Android devices and a Windows client is also available:
