Connect to VPN with OpenVPN

Learn how to export your VPN profile as an OpenVPN .ovpn file and connect using any OpenVPN-compatible client, including mobile apps.

Prerequisites​

  • A SleakOps account with VPN access configured
  • Your cluster's VPN enabled (VPN docs)

Let's Start​

Get the .ovpn file​

Follow the VPN connection guide to obtain your Pritunl link. The link will look like this:

pritunl://127.0.0.176/ku/bURgBN8W

To access the download page, modify the URL as follows:

  • Replace pritunl:// with https://
  • Replace /ku/ with /k/

The result should look like:

https://127.0.0.176/k/bURgBN8W

Navigate to that URL in a browser. You will see a page with download options:
