Launching OpenVPN remotly (ex: via SSH) on a server like a VPS or a dedicated server can be dangerous. When seeing Initialization Sequence Completed you are succesfully connected. For example I'm using openvpn -setenv PATH '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' -up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf -/etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf -down-pre -config 1194.ovpn, please not that when using arguments you need to use -config else you'll have an error message like Options error: Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in :1: /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf (2.4.2). Note: don't forget to use the additionnal arguments that we saw during the install if you didn't change the config files. Connecting using the command line interface (CLI) # You man need to init the OpenVPN password. Note: if using a free account only Connect to server and a restricted number of country and server are available: 1įind your OpenVPN credentials in the account menu. Go to the download menu an download the config file you need (choose country and protocol). setenv PATH '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin' -down-preĬreate an account or log in. Or alternatively if you don't want to edit your client configuration, you can add the following options to your openvpn command: 1

Setenv PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/binĭown /etc/openvpn/update-systemd-resolved $ yaourt -S openvpn-update-systemd-resolved -neededīut you will need to change all ProtonVPN config files from: 1 Install openvpn-update-systemd-resolved: 1

To prevent DNS leakage you'll need an additional package, for more info see Arch Linux Wiki.
