OpenVPN on Linux - TunnelFleet

Install OpenVPN

On Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install openvpn

Download the profile

Download the .ovpn file (TCP or UDP) from TunnelFleet.

Connect

sudo openvpn --config ~/Downloads/your-server-openvpn-udp.ovpn

Enter the VPN username and password when prompted.

Save credentials (optional)

Create a credentials file with mode 600:

cat > ~/.ovpn-auth <<'EOF'
your-username
your-password
EOF
chmod 600 ~/.ovpn-auth

Then:

sudo openvpn --config ~/Downloads/your-server-openvpn-udp.ovpn --auth-user-pass ~/.ovpn-auth

Verify

In another terminal:

curl ifconfig.me

systemd (optional)

Copy the profile to /etc/openvpn/client/ and enable a client unit for your distribution’s OpenVPN package layout. Exact unit names vary — prefer the interactive command above until the connection is proven.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
`AUTH_FAILED`	Confirm username/password; sync user in the dashboard
`TLS Error`	Wrong profile/port or firewall blocking
Permission denied on config	Ensure your user can read the `.ovpn` file
