        Using "VPN editor" from the OpenStore
        https://open-store.io/app/com.ubuntu.developer.pete-woods.vpn-editor


        1. From one of NordVPN's official .ovpn files (nordvpn.com/ovpn), create the two following:

        ca.crt: containing this part of the .ovpn file:

        -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
        (...)
        -----END CERTIFICATE-----


        TSL.key: containing this part of the .ovpn file:

        -----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
        (...)
        -----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----


        Save both ca.crt and TSL.key in a known directory.


        1. Open VPN editor app. Add new connection, and set it up this way:

        ID: AnyNameToRecognizeTheConnection
        Remote: x.x.x.x:1194
        (choose the IP of any NordVPN server)
        Type: Password
        Username: xxxxxxxx (provided in your user's account)
        Password: ·············· (provided in your user's account)
        CA certificate: ca.crt (file previously created from the .ovpn)


        Advanced:

        Tick "Use renegotiation interval: 0"
        Tick "Use LZO data compression
        Tick "Use custom virtual device type:"
        TUN
        and name: tun

        Tick "Use custom tunnel MTU: 1500"
        Tick "Randomize remote hosts"


        Security:

        Cipher: AES-256-CBC
        HMAC authentication: SHA-512


        TLS:

        Tick "Verify peer certificate"
        Peer certificate TLS type: Server
        Tick "Use additional TLS authentication:"
        Key file: TLS.key (file previously created from the .ovpn)
        Key direction: 1


        1. The connection is ready to use. Turn the switch on and wait for it to go green.
          Try ipleak.net from a web browser to test the connection.
