    Hi @Mehdi_13

    To establish an OpenVPN tunnel with Armor G5, here is the example of using a mobile device. You can follow these steps:

    1.Set up a DDNS server for your Armor device and ensure that your WAN is assigned a public IP address.

    2.Enable the OpenVPN server feature on your Armor device.

    3.Once the OpenVPN server is enabled, create an OpenVPN account on the device.

    4.After creating the OpenVPN account, navigate back to the OpenVPN Server settings and export the configuration file.

    5.Save the exported file and add it to your OpenVPN app on your mobile device.

    By following these steps, you will be able to establish an OpenVPN tunnel with your Armor G5 device, allowing secure and private communication.

    Hi and thank you for your reply,
    I already have a VPN subscription on Cyberghost, and I want it installed as a client on my Armor G5 not as a server, I followed all the steps, but it doesn't work, when I put my openvpn.ovpn file, my username and password, then I activate the openvpn, it does not work

    Hi,
    Yes that's what I'm trying to do, if you read my question again, it's the Openvpn that I can't get to work, Armor G5 won't connect to my Openvpn account

    Hi friend,
    I don't need the Openvpn server, I already have a VPN subscription, so I want to use my vpn on my Armor G5 as a client

    Hi @Mehdi_13

    The Armor OpenVPN client is capable of connecting to another Armor G5 device that is functioning as an OpenVPN server. However, if you are not utilizing the OpenVPN server feature provided by Armor or Multy M1, and instead using an ovpn file generated from Cyberghost, it is recommended to seek further assistance from Cyberghost for troubleshooting and support.
