Plain-Text OpenVPN configuration[edit]
If you have a client that accepts plain-text OpenVPN configuration then you can copy-paste the following text to a configuration file like labaki-vpn.conf.
Download link
client dev tap remote vpn.tolabaki.gr 443 proto tcp ca labaki-openvpn-ca.crt auth-user-pass
To connect to VPN then execute
openvpn labaki-vpn.conf
If you run linux and you don't have root privileges then you need to prefix command with sudo.
sudo openvpn labaki-vpn.conf
When the client starts it will ask for username and password. You must give the same credentials as the one you use to login at wiki/email or any other LABaki service.
