Getting Started Guide

Welcome to your new OpenVPN VPS powered by VM6 Networks!
This guide explains how to find your connection details, download your VPN profile, and connect securely through your new private VPN server.

Step 1 – Access Your VPS

Once logged in, you’ll be in the /root directory.

Step 2 – Find Your VPN Credentials

All of your OpenVPN connection details are saved in a text file for convenience.

Run the following command:

You’ll see something like this:

The file /root/client.ovpn contains your complete VPN configuration — certificates, keys, and connection settings — all embedded and ready to import.

Step 3 – Download Your Client Profile

On Windows

Use WinSCP or MobaXterm:
