First of all, you should find the relevant information about your VPN service, such as username, password, pre-shared secret, VPN IP address. You can find this information following these steps:
1. Log in to your Clients Area account: https://billing.time4vps.com/clientarea/
2. Choose “Services” on the left and then press “VPN”.
3. Choose your VPN service from the list and you will enter the page with the main information
1. At first, you need to install the OpenVPN GUI software. We recommend downloading OpenVPN from this link:
Select openvpn-install-2.4.4-I601.exe installer for Windows Vista and later.
2. Install OpenVPN application. Detailed guide how to install application please find here:
3. Download the OpenVPN configuration file from the client system. Click on the “Download” button and choose the configuration file for Windows, then select “Save” in the download dialog.
Click “Open Folder” when the download is complete.
4. Now after the OpenVPN GUI is installed you need to paste your unique configuration file to the OpenVPN GUI config folder.
Copy the downloaded config file. Now go to your disc “C:”, then to the “Program Files” folder, then to the “OpenVPN” folder, and to the “config” folder at last.
Right-click and select “Paste”. When the configuration file is pasted the folder contents should look like this:
5. Now go to the Desktop. Before running OpenVPN GUI you need to modify the application options, if you don’t do this you will either get “Error creating HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenVPN-GUI key.” error message or the application will launch and connect, but the IP address will not change (because there wouldn’t be any permissions to modify the routing table to send all traffic via VPN tunnel). To do that right-click on the OpenVPN GUI icon, select “Properties”. Go to the “Compatibility” tab, check the “Run this program as an administrator” box, click the “OK” button. Double click on the OpenVPN GUI icon on the desktop. This will launch the application and create a little icon in the shape of the computer screen and the lock on your taskbar.
6. Right-click on the icon and select “Connect” and fill in login credentials that you can find on the client system.
7. The program will show the connection window with a log and the icon on the taskbar will become yellow. When the VPN is connected, the log window will disappear and the icon will be green.
