1. Install a VPN client: Ubuntu includes a few VPN clients, but one of the easiest to use is OpenVPN. To install OpenVPN, open a Terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T) and type:
sudo apt-get install openvpn
2. Download your VPN configuration files: Most VPN providers will give you a set of configuration files that you can use. Download these files and save them to a convenient location.
3. Connect to the VPN: Once you have the configuration files downloaded, you can use the OpenVPN command line tool to connect to the VPN. Navigate to the directory containing the configuration files, then type:
sudo openvpn –config [filename.ovpn]
Where [filename.ovpn] is the name of the configuration file you downloaded.
4. Disconnect from the VPN: To disconnect from the VPN, type:
sudo openvpn –signal SIGTERM
This will immediately terminate the connection.
