This generator is available for Premium customers only. Freemium users can use Wireguard and OpenVPN only through the PrivadoVPN app.
1. Log in to your Privado Admin area, navigate to the Dashboard tab, scroll down the page to 'Manual Configuration' and select 'OpenVPN':
2. Select your preferred server and OpenVPN file configuration (UDP/TCP, port, Scramble):
UDP is a better choice for live video and audio or online games where speed is more important than potential data loss. We also offer UDP ports 1194, 443, 8080, and 8443 in cases when your ISP or local transit carrier throttles certain ports.
TCP is the better option if you are having issues maintaining a stable connection or need increased security of connection without packet loss. It is also recommended for countries with restrictive Internet. We also offer TCP ports 1194, 443, 8080, and 8443 in case your ISP or local transit carrier throttles certain ports.
Scramble helps to disguise and hide VPN traffic. This is especially useful in network environments that restrict OpenVPN traffic/ports.
3. Click the 'Download configuration' button and download the generated OpenVPN configuration file:
Wireguard:
