## Connect to the server

Connect to your server. If necessary, you can use our [detailed instructions](https://wiki.spacecore.pro/vds-dedicated/how-to-use-vps-vds#connect) to perform this operation.

## Installing OpenVPN

You may not have seen such an easy way to install OpenVPN 😎

It is enough to enter this command in the console of your server, after which the installation will be automatic.

```
apt-get update; rm openvpn-install.sh; wget https://mirror.spacecore.info/scripts/openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh
```

At the end you will see the following text.

The first configuration file created by default is called «**spacecore**.**ovpn**» and is located in the main directory. You can upload it to your device with sFTP. About how to connect via sFTP, in more detail in the section «[Data transfer via sFTP](https://wiki.spacecore.pro/vds-dedicated/how-to-use-vps-vds#connect)».

This configuration file is versatile and is suitable for adding a profile to any device that supports OpenVPN.

## Setting

### For Windows

You can download OpenVPN for Windows [from](https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/).

After adding the client, it is possible to follow the link and also using the file. For example, use the second option. It is enough to transfer or choose manually «**spacecore**.**ovpn**» file which you have downloaded from your server.

### For IOS / Android

The connection is made using the OpenVPN mobile app, which is available in both the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/openvpn-connect-openvpn-app/id590379981) and the [Play Market](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn).

## Add users

How do I add other users to your VPN? To do this, I need to rerun the already loaded script.

```
bash openvpn-install.sh
```

You’ll see the message that OpenVPN is already installed and a list of possible actions. Enter «**1**», then enter the name for the new user, for example «**friend**».

{% hint style="info" %}
Send by button «**Enter**».
{% endhint %}

Next, a new configuration file will be created. It should be used identically as the file that was generated the first time.
