Installing and Setting Up Stunnel

Great work on installing OpenVPN Connect! The next step is to download the Stunnel application from their website. The Stunnel application is used to encrypt OpenVPN traffic, making it more difficult for anyone to intercept or view your internet traffic.

To download Stunnel, head over to their website and select the version that is compatible with your Operating System. In this demonstration, we'll be using Windows. However, the download and installation process is similar for other Operating Systems as well.

Simply download the Stunnel application file and follow the instructions provided. Once the installation is complete, you're ready to proceed with the setup process for using AstroVPN in restrictive countries.

After you have downloaded and installed the Stunnel application for your Operating System, the next step is to start the application. This is a straightforward process and can be done by locating the Stunnel application in your computer's application directory and double-clicking on it to launch the program.

Alternatively, you can use the search function on your Operating System to find the Stunnel application quickly. Once you have located the application, click on it to start the program.

After starting the Stunnel application, you can edit the Stunnel configuration file by right-clicking the Stunnel icon in your taskbar, and selecting "Edit Configuration" from the context menu. This will open a Notepad document where you can paste the Stunnel configuration provided by AstroVPN.
