We have a video demonstrating configuration and a video demonstrating how to connect. These directions apply to at least Ubuntu 17.10 and may be largely applicable to other similar distributions running a recent version of GNOME:
1. Open the Ubuntu Software Center
2. In the top left click on the Ubuntu Software drop down menu and select Software & Updates
3. Check the box that says Community-maintained free and open-source software (universe)
4. Click the Close button
5. You will need to click when prompted a button called Reload in order to get the latest information on available software: "The information about available software is out-of-date"
6. Close out of the Ubuntu Software Center
7. Click 'Activities' in the top left corner. This will bring up a search box.
8. Search for and then open terminal
9. Type the following commands and hit enter:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-pptp network-manager-vpnc
Enter your login password and hit y when prompted
10. Next run the following command to download and extract the PenguinVPN configuration files:
wget https://www.thinkpenguin.com/files/penguinvpn-desktop-configuration-file... xf penguinvpn-desktop-configuration-files.tar.gz
11. In the top right corner click on the network applet
12. Click on the VPN Off menu > VPN Settings
13. Click the + icon next to VPN and Import from file...
14. From the penguinvpn-desktop-configuration-files folder downloaded and extracted earlier select GERMANY-TCP.ovpn
15. At this point you need to enter your PenguinVPN user name and password
16. It is also recommended that you change from germany.penguinvpn.com:80 to bahamas.penguinvpn.com:80 as bahamas.penguinvpn.com will rotate amongst several different servers. In spite of the name which country your connection is tunnelled through will in part depend on which servers have sufficient bandwidth.
