For the example: remote 185.30.232.207
Step 4
Copy the updated configuration file to the config (configurations) folder of your OpenVPN client.
- If you’re using Tunnelblick (OpenVPN for Mac), please rename the .ovpn configuration so it has a .tlbk extension instead, once this is done copy it to the empty configuration folder and process to the next step.

Click on Connect in your OpenVPN client and the VPN connection sequence will begin. Shortly after you will be asked to submit your username and password. Please submit your credentials as provided in “Your Seedbox Is Ready” E-mail.
