Pritunl is a free, open-source VPN client. The platform connects you to private networks, creating a local or remote VPN connection. Without a doubt, OpenVPN is one of the best VPN solutions on the Internet. Pritunl is a simple, unlimited client that you can use to activate the VPN connection from your computer by importing a configuration file and then logging in with the server's credentials. Another advantage of the environment is the ease of adding or removing different profiles from its system (you can also import profiles).
How to Get a Free VPNBook?
If you know how to handle OpenVPN connections and settings, using Pritunl will be very easy. But if you don't have knowledge or simply lack the settings, you can get a free one from VPNBook by clicking here. When you download the ZIP, unzip it and you'll get the ".ovpn" files (configuration profiles that we'll use later).
How to Use Pritunl to Connect to OpenVPN Servers?
At this point you'll need to download Pritunl and then install it. When opening its interface, you should add a connection profile (the ".ovpn" files).
After adding the profile, you'll need to connect to the server. To do that, click the icon in the top right corner. It will ask you to enter the server's username and password. Once the server is authenticated, it will show you the connection status (connection IP and time). Here is a guide.
At this moment you'll be connected to the VPN and you can verify your connection from the website MyLocation.org. The program runs in the background and you can turn it on or off with a single click. The test we've done was on Windows, but the service is also available for Mac OS X operating systems.
If you need a way to connect to a virtual private network from your computer, we suggest you take a look at Pritunl!
