OpenVPN with VPN Gate

VPN Gate is a project by University of Tsukuba, Japan.
http://www.vpngate.net/en/

Basically there're thousands of relay servers hosted by volunteers around the world.

As a Linux user, the easiest way to connect to VPN Gate servers is OpenVPN.

Just install openvpn from the official repositories.

sudo pacman -S openvpn

and randomly grab a configuration file like this: vpngate_vpn197292320.opengw.net_udp_1786.ovpn

http://www.vpngate.net/en/do_openvpn.aspx?fqdn=vpn197292320.opengw.net&ip=223.223.103.92&tcp=1620&udp=1786&sid=1427186718705&hid=1019730

Then use openvpn client to read the config file and connect to the free internet:

sudo openvpn vpngate_vpn197292320.opengw.net_udp_1786.ovpn

I wrote simple Perl script to get OpenVPN configs from VPN Gate

That will show you a list of available VPNs and save the config file for you.
