|
#### Create a user account.
|
|
|
|
Go to [My Account -> Services -> My Service Credentials](https://torguard.net/clientarea.php?action=changepw).
|
|
First we're going to create a user account for your VPN so we won't need to use your main account that you use to login to your account on the Torguard site.
|
|
This account will be used for authentication with your VPN Torrent client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create a new username and choose a secure password or create a random username and password.
|
|
|
|
#### How to get the IP of your VPN server.
|
|
Go to [My Account -> Server -> Global VPN Network](https://torguard.net/network/)
|
|
|
|
Then we're going to select which server we're going to use,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for the best speed it's recommended to choose the one nearest to your location.
|
|
Lets use for this example: `USA Miami` and copy/paste the Hostname `us-fl.secureconnect.me`.
|
|
|
|
then open a cmd window or something equal and type: `ping us-fl.secureconnect.me`
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will then get the IP Number of the server.
|
|
Remember that for later use.
|
|
|
|
#### How to set Port forwarding.
|
|
|
|
Go to [My Account -> Services -> My Services](https://torguard.net/clientarea.php?action=products).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then click on `Manage` and select `Request Port Forward`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. That's the `IP` we found earlier.
|
|
2. Select `UDP`.
|
|
3. Select a `Port/Auth` I personally use `995|SHA1`.
|
|
4. Select the `Protocol` `TCP`.
|
|
5. I suggest to use a high `Port` number 10.000+ or a game port you don't use, Don't use the default torrent ports 6881- 6889 !!!
|
|
(**This is also the port you will use in your torrent client**).
|
|
6. Click on the `+` sign and do the same with the `UDP` `Protocol`.
|
|
7. Then click on `Submit Request`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And you will see something like this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You will also receive a e-mail with the ports you forwarded.
|
|
|
|
#### How to create the .ovpn file.
|
|
Go to [My Account -> Tools > OpenVPN Config Generator](https://torguard.net/tgconf.php?action=vpn-openvpnconfig).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Choose the OS you want to use the .ovpn for.
|
|
2. Choose `Custom`.
|
|
3. Put in the `IP` we got earlier and used for the port forwarding.
|
|
4. Choose `UDP`.
|
|
5. Choose `995|SHA1` or what you selected during the port forwarding.
|
|
6. Choose `AES-128-GCM`.
|
|
7. Choose `2.4 and above`.
|
|
8. Check `Requiere TLS 1.2`
|
|
9. Click on `Generate Config`
|
|
|
|
Now you will download a .ovpn file with a random number.
|
|
This .ovpn file you place in the openvpn folder of your VPN torrent client.
