Confused about something or prefer a visual guide? Watch the PenguinVPN 2.0 setup tutorial for Linux Mint 21 . The guide is also applicable for Linux Mint 22.
1. If you don't yet have a subscription to PenguinVPN 2.0 service you'll need to get a subscription and select the OpenVPN protocol
2. Once purchased you'll receive an email with a compressed file that you'll need to download called PenguinVPN-2-OpenVPN-Keys.tar.gz (this contains your subscription keys/credentials to login to the VPN service)
3. Download the PenguinVPN 2.0 configuration files from https://www.thinkpenguin.com/files/PenguinVPN-2-OpenVPN-TPE-R1200-R1300-...
4. Extract PenguinVPN-2-OpenVPN-TPE-R1200-R1300-Router-Configuration.tar.gz (creating a PenguinVPN folder in your home directory is probably the way to go so you can easily find these files)
5. Extract the files in the PenguinVPN-2-OpenVPN-Keys.tar.gz file to the new etc/openvpn folder that was created in the previous step
