Below are the instructions to setup your VPN and some additional tips and tools.
Please try both PPTP and OpenVPN to see which one gives you the best performance on your network.
Depending on your location and ISP, one protocol might not work, make sure to try both.
With PPTP the setup is usually easier since the software is already included with most operating systems.
For ALL OpenVPN users - OpenVPN Configuration Update
We have updated the OpenVPN certificate configuration for connecting to all BTGuard VPN servers. This means you must replace your current config files with the new ones for our service to continue working. This update will increase the encryption to AES-256 and improve speeds.
Please download the new configuration and view the instructions from here.
