I want to try OpenVPN client instead of Eddie. I have never used OpenVPN (GUI or CLI).
I have read this pageand I understand it all except the part which talks about "DNS Push". How do I know whether I need to worry about that or not? Not sure if I should follow that part of the instructions or if I can ignore that. thanks

Hi. I am looking for any guidance I can. I don't find the forum easy to use and a well-organised up to date set of tutorials would help, it seems tyou have to dig through the forum for what's needed and I think that's what I need, besides I am sure someone referred me to it in the last few days anyway.

I need to run OpenVPN rather than Eddie client. I know very little about Linux (yes I am installing on Linux) and that link you posted fried my brain, I am not up to understanding that never mind installing it. I don't even know what "Suite" means, I just know I MUST have OpenVPN running my VPN for what I am doing

Do you want to use the Air-provided DNS servers? Then yes. If you can do it more or less manually via NetworkManager or something, that's an option, too.

Sorry, It says to add this to the config file:

script-security 2
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
I know how to nano to edit the file, but not sure where to paste it in?

/etc/openvpn/. Or what do you mean?

The order of these lines does not matter. Each can be anywhere in the config file.

You can have them included in every config file at the time you generate them. In the config generator check "Advanced Mode" and then paste those lines into the " OpenVPN custom directives:" text box.
