What is the process for setting up Surfshark VPN with OpenVPN?

To set up Surfshark VPN with OpenVPN, an individual would start by subscribing to the Surfshark service. Once the subscription is active, they need to download the Surfshark configuration files for OpenVPN from the Surfshark website. Next, they must install the OpenVPN software on their device, available for various operating systems. Following OpenVPN's installation, the user should import the Surfshark configuration files into the OpenVPN client. This is achieved by opening OpenVPN, navigating to its configuration interface, and importing the .ovpn file provided by Surfshark. After successfully importing the files and entering any requested credentials—typically a username and password unique to their Surfshark account—the individual can connect to the server location of their choice. As a good practice, it is recommended that they verify their connection status either through Surfshark's website or another reliable IP-checking resource to confirm that their internet connection is indeed secured through Surfshark’s VPN service.
