Click a server to pull its OpenVPN config and see its validation history.

What are validated VPNGate servers?

VPNGate is a public relay network of volunteer-operated VPN servers. The list here is continuously validated for reachability — each server shows its round-trip latency (RTT) and its uptime measured over roughly the last 30 days, so you can pick a relay that is actually online and stable right now.

How do I use a downloaded config?

Select a server and press Pull config to load its live entry, then Copy or download the .ovpn profile and import it into any OpenVPN-compatible client (see the Clients tab). Config downloads are available to signed-in ip8 users.

Why do I need to sign in to pull a config?

The server directory is public, but the connectable OpenVPN configuration is gated to signed-in ip8 accounts. Signing in also lifts the 200-server preview so you can browse the full validated network. IP8 does not operate these relays — they are run by VPNGate volunteers.

TCP or UDP — which should I pick?

UDP usually gives lower latency and better throughput and is the default for most connections. TCP is more likely to work on restrictive networks that block UDP or interfere with VPN traffic. If one protocol won't connect from your network, try the other.
