12.9.5 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
