OpenVPN Setup guide for most VPN,s

In the first part I will show you how to rename all .ovpn files to .conf and add auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass password.conf you can skip this part if you have already done this. 

The second step will show you how to copy all conf files into subfolders with one command and add password.conf to each sub folder.

Feel free to edit auth.txt to user,txt or whatever you prefer.

On the box create a folder called vpn in hdd

FTP your config files to hdd/vpn

1. using Telnet/putty type

This will put putty in hdd/vpn

2.Now to rename all .ovpn files to .conf

Type in talnet/putty

3.To add auth-user-pass/auth-user-pass auth.txt to each conf file in talnet/putty paste

4. Now that is done we can move all configs into sub-folders with the same name

Ensure Telnet is still in hdd/vpn before running this command

Copy and paste in telnet/putty

5. Now to add password.conf to each sub folder we need to add auth.txt to tmp with your username and password added.

Now use the following command to copy auth.txt to each sub folder with this command

Some VPN,s need cert files and other files simply edit the last command (.5) to suit

VPN Changer is linked below and is pretty simple to use, only issue is with OpenVix pressing red to stop/start OpenVPN just exits the plugin this is due to Key Mapping issue so you will need to goto OpenVPN in network to stop OpenaVPN.

If you dont want to use VPN Changer and prefer to drag configs just FTP the configs to vpn (create the vpn folder) and change command 1. to cd /vpn and jsut use commands 2. and 3. Add password.conf to etc/conf and you should just be able to drag any conf file from vpn to etc/openvpn
