Mac Guide
1) OpenVPN is going to be used in this tutorial because it is impossible for your ISP to get into it. You need to download and unzip this file.
2) Install tunnelblick by downloading it here, mounting the .dmg and double clicking on it. When asked if you have the configuration files, quit the application.
3) Double click on the other file you downloaded (VPNBook OpenVPN Configuration.tblk) and tunnelblick should open and set it up. Choose "Only me" when asked who to install it for.
4) To connect to VPN, click on the tunnelblick icon on the right side of your menu bar and hit, "Connect VPNBook OpenVPN Configuration". Log in with the username and password above. You will have to quit and reopen all open web browsers for it to completely connect. To test to see if VPN works, go to http://whatismyipaddress.com and make sure the location is incorrect (not where you really are).
**EVERY time you want to use VPN you have to open Tunnelblick and connect to VPN. Your web browser will not be fully protected until you quit and reopen it. It is recommended to have Tunnelblick open at login.**
