15.4.3 OpenVPN with third-party server
A VPN enables you to send and receive data across shared networks.
For some users, they will use the VPN to access the limited network service from the different
country. But normally, the third-party OpenVPN server will provide the .ovpn configuration files for
the OpenVPN client. The .ovpn is hard to convert to the cellular router OpenVPN client
configuration. So, we provide the Custom mode to make the user can easy use the .ovpn to set
up the cellular router OpenVPN client. The Custom mode provide the import button to allow user
import the third-party OpenVPN server .ovpn configurations file.
For example, use the Japan OpenVPN server which provided by http://www.vpngate.net/en/ .
Firstly, download the .ovpn configuration files from vpngate.net.
Additionally, use the OpenVPN custom import button to import it. The result is as the below figure.
If the .ovpn configuration file is correct, the web UI will show Apply OK.
