VPN Instructions

How to use the Ecotrust VPN

Fig 1

1) Point your favorite web browser to https://openvpn.ecotrust.org.  For the purpose of this how-to I will use Internet Explorer since nearly every PC has this browser.

2) Type in your Ecotrust user name and password.

3) Choose "Connect."

4) Click "Go."





5) Maybe it just works!

At this point you'll see one of these two screens.  If you see the screen on the left, you must install the OpenVPN client before you can connect.  If you see the screen on the right, you're done!

OpenVPN is already installed. You're Connected!

You must Install OpenVPN. See below.
