Verify a successful VPN Unlimited connection
Navigate to the Status > OpenVPN
- You should now see a CONNECTED SUCCESS message.
- Visit to WhatIsMyIPAddress to verify your new IP address and virtual location.
In some cases you may notice that the location is not showing the same location as the server you have input in your router settings; this is because geo tracking tools are often tricked by VPN connections. As long as you see an IP address that is not the same as your normal Internet IP address then you are indeed connected to VPN Unlimited.
Back up your settings
Navigate to the Administration > Backup
- Click the Backup button.
- A file named nvrambak.bin will be saved to your computer.
- You can load nvrambak.bin to restore your settings in the event of a reset.
How to change the VPN Unlimited server
- Follow Steps 1-6 to Generate an .OVPN file for the server you wish to connect to and open it a word processing program.
- Copy and paste the server IP Address into the Server IP/Name field.
- Copy and paste the <cert> into the Public Client Cert field.
- Copy and paste the <key> into the Private Client Key field.
- Click Apply Settings.
