Just want to say thanks again for putting this stuff up . I'm just having another look at VPN to see if I can get it going finally.
Its pretty straightforward this way . Download the openvpn pet and then download the 4 certificate files and put them say in /root.

Choose one of those to try and issue say
Code: Select all
# openvpn --config vpnbook-euro1-tcp80.ovpn
in a terminal window
A name and password must be supplied . The name staying as "vpnbook" but the password changing from time to time and must be obtained from the vpnbook website under the openvpn tab.

And there you go . As long as you get "Initialization Sequence Completed" it seems to work fine.
This creates a tunnel that gives a false IP address to your ISP and everybody else. So you can get the torrent address to put into transmission or whatever you use to bring down torrents.
Once I have obtained my torrent links I close the tunnel for faster downloads on my normal Wlan0.
I have found on precise 5.7.1 closing the terminal kills the tunnel. Ihave to just minimise it .
I've had quite a lot of dropouts from the openvpn server it seems but I hope to sort this out. Edit once I learnt how to use it I have not lost one since.
Not bad for free!
EDIT - on another thread I asked for help to automate the getting of name and password from their site . I was very pleased with the resulting answer here
