If you have familiarized yourself with the configuration scheme, installed the necessary software and have all of the devices in order, we can start configuring the OpenVPN client using instructions provided in this section.

The client configuration is stored in a single text file. You can either download an example file from the Internet or use our configuration file, which you can download by clicking '''[[Media:Ovpn.txt|here]]'''. The file stores standard OpenVPN options, the values of which depend on the server type and user preferences, and authentication certificates or file paths to the certificates. Since we'll be using TLS authentication for this example, we'll need to generate '''TLS certificates''' for our configuration to work. The process on how to do that is described '''[[How to generate TLS certificates?|here]]''' in detail.
