Updated OpenVPN Setup Guides for Linux

We’ve updated our guides for Ubuntu 14


OpenVPN using the Network Manager

Using the Network Manager GUI is the fastest and easiest way to setup and connect using openVPN.

We show all the steps you need from installing openVPN support for the Network Manager to importing our VPN profiles and connecting to the VPN.

Setting up openVPN on Linux + Ubuntu is so easy these days that any Linux rookie can do it — it’s faster + easier to setup openVPN on Ubuntu than Windows or Mac OS X!
