How to I run a vpn?

You need to do this every day or so.

  1. Go to https://access-acp.digital.homeoffice.gov.uk/ui/profiles

  2. Download the ACP-TUNNEL default ovpn file

VPN Download

  1. Run the relevant command for openvpn on your os

for my OS - Ubuntu - it’s:

sudo openvpn vpn-acp-tunnel-NNNNNNN-NNNNN.ovpn

Note: This might not work when we’re in the Home Office estate, e.g. in Croydon, because of reasons, so the only way to access internal pages when at the HO might be via VPN and tethering on your phone.
