For this <u>example</u>, for this step, a Riseup account is required. Unfortunately, the former free VPN service is no longer available. <ref> Previously a VPN secret (VPN password) and username could be registered. </ref> This means to create an account you will need an "invite code" from a current Riseup user. * If you <u>have</u> one: ** '''1.''' Navigate to the [https://account.riseup.net/user/new account creation page] in Tor Browser. ** '''2.''' Enter the invite code. ** '''3.''' Choose a username unrelated to your real identity. ** '''4.''' Enter a [[Passwords|strong password]]. * <u>If you do '''not''' have an invite code</u>: ** Please do <u>not</u> ask {{project_name_short}} developers or forums for an invite code because none will be available. ** Instead tailor the instructions in this section to <u>work with any other OpenVPN provider</u>. '''1.''' {{Open with root rights|filename= /etc/openvpn/auth.txt }} '''2.''' Add. Note: Replace <code>riseupusername</code> with the actual Riseup user name and replace <code>vpnsecret</code> with the <i>actual</i> user name and password or just go to [https://account.riseup.net/ account.riseup.net], log in and click on "VPN". <pre> riseupusername vpnsecret </pre> '''3 .''' Save and exit.
