openvpn config file download for airtel

Download Zip https://t.co/1P3sWIQPIE


I lives in India
i have netgear X6 R8000, and have the latest firmware in that i have airtel as my ISP , i have started VPN server on my netgear router and have 2000mbps plan and in netgear page when i try to do speedtest i am not getting more than 40-50 mbps upload , i am getting 200mbps download speed , same as in VPN i am getting 40-50 download speed because upload speed is too low , in airtel this is firstly moderm and after that my netgear router is connected , i had try resetting the router as well as tried in AP mode but it doesnot works for me. if i connect any device locally through netgear router than i am getting 200 mbps download and upload speed but if i check that speed into my router page which is 192.168.2.1 in that i am getting 212mbps download sped and 50-60 mbps in upload speed , if anyone knows about solution let me know please. so if i use VPN client at somewhere else i suppose to get 100-120 mbps upload speed at anywhere but i am getting only 20-30 mbps upload speed i have check that and i am attaching the screenshot as well.

thanks in advance


i have using VPN server in netgear and without using VPN server i am getting the same upload speed around 50 mbps. i think so there is an issue of double NAT so this issue is repeating so i have contacted the airtel my isp provider to change their router to bridge mode so there will no issue of Double NAT

the airtel router is Modem plus router


Nope i am not using the VPN client on the same network, i am using VPN client on another place. The netgear has own VPN server so ia= have created vpn server in my X6 R8000 device. but in netgear there is speedtest in my default gateway in that i am getting only 50 mbps speed upload even thought i have 200 mbps plan right now. so i have airtel connection and they have provided me the router of nokia ZTE and in that yesterday i had done the Bridge mode enabled and connected PPPoE connection in my netgear router , i thought that there was an double NAT problem so i turned off NAT in my airtel router but still it didn't works for me.


Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. This would be a double NAT condition which isn't recommended. -is-Double-NAT
 -to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the NG router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the NG router gets from the modem. -on-NETGEAR-routers
 -do-I-set-up-a-default-DMZ-server-on-my-Nighthawk-router
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the NG router to the modem, LAN to LAN configure AP mode on the NG router. 
 -do-I-change-my-NETGEAR-router-to-AP-mode

Try option #2 first...



I am trying to port forward but all ports seem to be closed for me. I checked with portchecktool.com . Does any airtel fiber customer have experience settings up say a Minecraft server where they faced a similar issue?


Nevertheless, some users may prefer to use OpenVPN configuration files and connect to our secure VPN servers using a third-party client. Read on for instructions on how to download Proton VPN OpenVPN configuration files.





I am configuring OpenVPN 2.3.6-1 on my Arch Linux server in order to encrypt SMB traffic over the public Internet. When I test the setup on one of my Linux virtual machine clients, I get the error: TLS Error: TLS handshake failed.


I quickly read (OpenVPN on OpenVZ TLS Error: TLS handshake failed (google suggested solutions not helping))

Free Openvpn Config File Download For Android 2017

OpenVPN for Android by Arne Schwabe is a free and open source app that uses any standard OpenVPN configuration files to allow Android users to connect to any VPN service which supports the OpenVPN protocol. This means it's a great alternative way to install a 

VPN on Android

 if you cannot or do not want to use the Google Play Store. In this guide we'll show you how to set up a VPN through OpenVPN for Android.



Kill switches are a useful feature in VPNs. If for any reason your VPN connection fails, it will cut all access to the internet, thereby protecting your real IP address - very helpful for tasks such as torrenting. To configure OpenVPN for Android to act as a kill switch:


It may seem a little counterintuitive, but with full IPv6 routing, bandwidth usage graphs, and the ability to configure as a kill switch, OpenVPN for Android is more fully-featured than almost any custom Android VPN app I have yet reviewed. It is also more fully featured than its desktop equivalents.


Title basically says it all, the Mullvad website tells me to download the config file and then use openvpn for android to import it, but when I click import it doesn't "see" the file (No files). I unzipped it and can see the config files in my folders but the openvpn app doesn't recognize them. Should I try different app? That's just the one the website suggested I use.


I'm using an Ubuntu Server and I wanted to use OpenVpn for my server and my android phone. I installed OpenVpn connect for my phone and the software needs *.ovpn file from my server. How can I generate this file? And how can I enable authentication? I've use OpenVpn Access Server but it gives only two users licensee to authenticate but I need more. I've searched through internet but all training I've found was how to generate client.key , client.crt and ca.crt but I can't use them for my android phone.


You are correct that the way to use OpenVPN on your Android phone is when you are not connected to the Orbi LAN. I was able to get it to work. In MY case, I did not follow the directions exactly. My memory is not that great, but I think I got myself tangled up because the BIG thing to click on ("For Smart Phone") was what downloaded the "phone" config file that was needed, and the tiny thing to click on ("Android") was where the directions were. It wasn't until I accidentally noticed that the cursor turned into a "hand" when it went over those words that I realized it was "something to click on."





I just tested my OpenVPN on my Sony Xperia on Android 9. As I recall, I had some difficulty importing the OVPN config file and putting it in the correct place for OpenVPN to find it. I definitely use the bottom of the three connection options: "OVPN Profile".


Hi, I have a working OpenVPN setup but what is not working on the Android M client is to have it receive and use the DNS IP Address from the server. It simply isn't being pushed despite the presence of "list push 'dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1'" in the openvpn config file. The Android client instead uses the Google DNS servers which is an option inside the connection app. Is there a way to have the Android client use the router's DNS server? I'm hoping it isn't necessary to try building up and down scripts simply to have DNS pushed. Thanks in advance for anything that can be shared toward solving this.


If you also have these 2 lines below in your /etc/config/openvpn file then the Android device will receive and use the upstream DNS servers you have defined in the WAN, change the DNS IP below to whatever your router's IP is:
list push 'redirect-gateway def1'
list push 'dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.1'


Your users can make an SSL VPN connection to the Firebox with an OpenVPN client. For example, users can install O
