This guide is for adding our OpenVPN configuration to an unmodified Asus RT-AC66U router.

1. Generate a single OpenVPN file or download the udp_tcp.zip archive which contains all of our server configs in a .ovpn format.

2. Log in to your router and navigate to the VPN page.

3. Once on the VPN page, click the 'VPN Client' tab.

4. Then click the 'Add Profile' button.

5. Once on the 'Add Profile' screen, you will need to fill in a description, your PrivadoVPN username, and your PrivadoVPN password. You can copy them from this page: https://app.privado.live/en/admin-panel.

6. You will also need to import one of the .ovpn config files from the location where you extracted the udp_tcp.zip file. Check this page to see what city each config file belongs to: https://app.privado.live/en/server-list.

7. Once you select the file, make sure you hit the 'Upload' button. Then hit the 'OK' button at the bottom of this menu:

8. Click on the 'Activate' button to enable your VPN.

9. If everything was entered correctly, the blue checkbox will appear signaling that the connection was successful.
