### Connect from a client
There are various tutorials available for all operating systems for how to connect to an OpenVPN server.
### Android
Use the official OpenVPN App:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.openvpn.openvpn
### Other systems
I'll demonstrate the procedure here for Ubuntu Linux (which trivially extends to Linux Mint, etc.)
1. Install the necessary network-manager plugins
```
sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome
sudo service network-manager restart
```
2. Securely copy the necessary certificates from your OpenVPN server to your client (e.g. using `sftp`). They are located in `/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki`
You will need:
* User Certificate: `/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/issued/client.crt`
* CA Certificate: `/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/ca.crt`
* Private Key: `/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/pki/private/client.key`
* Private Key Password: Depending on your settings (might even be empty)
* TA Key: `/etc/openvpn/ta.key`
Further details can be found in the screenshots provided below:

Your whole network traffic will now securely be transferred to your Pi-hole.
