OpenVPN is the recommended way of using TorVPN. Why? First, because it's more likely that you can connect to port 443 from a restricted environment than being able to use the (GRE) protocol needed by PPTP (the other way). Secondly, because this protocol is a lot more secure.

The video shows you how to hide your IP (or 'change' your IP from an external perspective) with TorVPN.

Step 1) Install OpenVPN
Step 2) Download your configuration (ZIP) file from TorVPN
Step 3) Extract the ZIP file to C:\program files\OpenVPN\config
Step 4) Run OpenVPN (as administrator!)
Step 5) Double click OpenVPN's icon in the system tray
Step 6) Enter your TorVPN username and password
Step 7) Wait for it to be connected
Step 8) You're done! Check your new IP.

Your are now anonymous!

Remember: do not rely on untrustworthy 'proxy lists' and expensive VPN's that you do not really need. TorVPN has unlimited speed.

  • Will this work on Windows 7?

  • @WRXRB320 Yes, of course. OpenVPN is compatible with XP, Vista, Win7, etc...

  • Question. Would it matter if I'm on a laptop and I use different networks?

    I tend to move a bit. Please reply asap.

  • @bigtuba09 Not at all, you can use it for shielding yourself while you're on a public Wi-Fi network, moving around, from a laptop, PC or a smartphone. I recommend becoming a customer though, because some free users give out the password and connect from many different networks which becomes suspicious, but it is not an issue if you're a client.

  • @anilseela It works in India and outside India as well. You might have restrictions that prevent PPTP connections, but then there is OpenVPN. If you have port restrictions, we can help with that too, and if you have protocol restrictions, we can help you use the VPN through an SSH tunnel. That's the good thing about TorVPN, it has more protocols, IP's and ports you can connect to, so there's almost always a way to get around content filters.

  • Thanks for this. I stumbled onto this vid from the vid you responded to. It recently came to my attention how visible some of my stuff is. (My fault for being an idiot.) So I was looking for something exactly like this.

  • @torvpn ok Thanks for the reply. A pirate I was meant to be~

  • @IJackTheBauer Told you ;-) Moral of the story: fancy advertisements, good design and marketing can make you use a product but that doesn't make the product itself good (or even work, in this case). Uninstall those 'magic' programs, use TorVPN.

    

  • @torvpn Ok so downloaded Wiershark and the data don't go true the proxy they just send it right to my ip...

  • @IJackTheBauer Is that 'hide my ip' software actually doing anything else than configuring a proxy for your internet connections? Does it even have an effect on your torrent client? Check your communication with Wireshark (not the trackers, the data itself). There is a good chance using both of those makes no difference what so ever. Or just use the VPN, of course :) That's a sure thing. Then you don't need any of them anyway.
