VPNBOOK – OpenVPN – How to automate your VPN login – user and password
How to automate your login to VPNBook
1. Step 1 – Administrator rights in Notepad
Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Right Click on Notepad
*Important – never use Word or Wordpad for password files, as they insert invisible formatting characters.
“Run as Administrator”
Yes (to changes)
*******
Step 2 – Create a Password file (called password.txt)
Open Notepad. Insert these 2 lines – on line 1 and 2 of the file
vpnbook
rac3vat9
File > Save As
C: > Program Files > OpenVPN > Config
Name the file: password.txt
Step 2 – Edit the VPNBook config file
Using Notepad
File > Open
Look on the Right hand side of Notepad – Text Documents .txt dropdown box
You need to make Notepad show you all the files, not just the Text files
> Alter dropdown box from “Text Documents .txt” to ALL FILES
Only after you’ve done this, will you see all the OpenVPN config files. Otherwise they won’t appear.
C: > Program Files > OpenVPN > Config
-
Look for Orange Icon
-
vpnbook-UDP53
-
Right click on vpnbook-udp53
-
Open
At the end of the file, add in a new line:
auth-user-pass password.txt
File > Save
That’s all the editing done. Now we just test the connection.
*****
Step 4 – Test OpenVPN
Double click on OpenVPN icon
Yes
Connect
OpenVPN Icons
- Red TV screen = Not connected
- Amber TV screen = Connected, but not authenticated
- Green TV screen = Authenticated
Step 5 – Test the IP connection – to ensure your IP is based in Romania
DNSLeakTest will give you a pretty flag, to confirm you’re running from Romania
Congratulations.
Your login to VPNBook is now automated.
VPNBook will delete your server logs every 3 days. If you need security, then the fastest log deletion time that I’ve found is every 10 minutes with www.ivpn.net.
IVPN is a paid for VPN, but instead of deleting logs twice a week – they’d be deleted over a 140 times, every day, or a thousand times a week. This means even if prosecutor seized the servers, there would be no evidence to find.
If you’re at risk, or in a hostile environment, then that’s the fastest deletion time I can find – let me know if you find faster.

Hi uwnthesis
Thank you for making this tutorial. You are so kind! When I go to save the “auth-user-pass password.txt” in the vpnbook-udp53 file it won’t let me. It says that it can’t create the file and for me to check the path and such. Any, ideas? I am using Vista.

Hi Miles,
The usual problem is admin rights to Notepad.
Make sure that Notepad has full admin rights – so that you can write to the vpnbook-upd53 file.
If you’re stuck, try this out:
Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Right click on Notepad
Properties (the last option)
Shortcut Tab
Advanced Button
Tick the checkbox “run as administrator”
Method 2.
right click Notepad icon
Properties (the last option)
Security Tab
click on your user name
Make sure that “full Control” is ticked.
If it’s not,
Edit button
Make sure you’re on your user account (not the computer system account)
Tick the checkbox – full control
Apply
This allows your notepad to run with admin rights.
Now run Notepad – and find the vpnbook-udp53 file
File > Open
c: Programs files > OpenVPN > config
Change to show “all files” instead of just Text files.
the orange icons will appear
double click vpnbook-udp53
add the auth-user-pass password.txt line and save.
If there’s a rights issue, it will tell you can’t save the edits, so I’m pretty sure that it’s a Notepad rights issue.
And thanks for making me laugh. It’s good for me to explain things in detail – as I can remember how frustrating it was when I used to be told step 1, step 2, step 5.
There’s a couple of steps that we tend to miss out – and like in maths, if you miss out step 3 and step 4, then things don’t work as they should So it forces me to be very logical. Thank you. 🙂

Hi uwnthesis
Well, the “run as administrator” trick worked. But, then it gave me a DNS Leak. So, I went to that leak test that you post and I downloaded that leak-fix dnsfixsetup.exe and now it shows that it is all connected to vpnbook, but, when I try to access any websites it says it timed out and it can’t find the server, but says I am hooked up just fine. I do notice that the task bar icon (for windows) of the two monitors that tells when you are connected to the internet that is has the blue disk on it. When usually it goes away when I am connected to vpnbook. Any idea?
Am I still your old buddy, old pal? hehe

Hi Miles,
The DNS leak is a problem with Windows, we didn’t know it was occuring, and most VPN providers don’t.
You need to flush your dns cache to get rid of your local ISP’s DNS records.
On Windows:
“Start” menu
“Search programms field box”
type in “cmd”
Enter
CMD = black TV Screen
Double click on this black TV screen – to run it. An even bigger black tv screen will appear.
Type in
ipconfig /flushdns
Enter
Windows will display a message similar to: “Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.” Once the message is displayed, the DNS will be flushed removing all incorrect entries.
OpenVPN is a better solution that Windows, as it prevents this leakage. Hope that helps. I’ll try and get you a picture to show what’s happening… be back soon

Miles, that error shows that Command prompt doesn’t yet have Admin rights.
You’ll need to right click the CMD icon, and “Run as Administrator”.
Here’s a youtube video, that might help out – as you can see what’s happening. 🙂

Hi Drew,
Post me up part of the error log, and I may be able to tell you what’s happening.
Right click on the red or yellow openvpn icon
then view connection log
you can copy and paste from this log – and if you look for errors here, like TLS timeout, then I’ll see what we can do to help

Hi Miles,
My automated password connection works great, BUT when I copy/paste a new password into the notepad file under VPN>config, I get a DNS leak. My position is not shown as Romania/UK/US, but my normal providerr’s server.
At first I uninstalled and reinstslled VPN book, and it would work again, and automatically insert certificates into te config folder, but now that is not working.
Do you have ay idea why?
Cheers, Paul

Hiya,
I’ve just checked out vpnbook.com and they’re retired some UK servers. If your certificates were from a retired server, then you will have problems – and will need a fresh install.
Also, they’ve reconfigured the US certificates so that the P2P protocol is disabled. So I’d suggest only using European servers/Certificates. There are only two European servers… these are the two to use.
Hope that helps. 🙂

Hello Everyone,
you can always download the login.conf for VPNbook with the latest Password from my site
http://diaa.no-ip.com:8080/login.conf
I am maintaining the credentials as they get updated every week
you do not need to create a password.txt
continue from Step 2 – Edit the VPNBook config file
edit your vpnbook-udp53
add this line
auth-user-pass login.conf
save
enjoy
you can schedule this file to be downloaded every day by any method you wish
——in linux
create a cron job to download the file
# crontab -e
add the following line at the end
0 2 * * * curl http://diaa.no-ip.com:8080/login.conf > login.conf
*This download the login.conf to your root home
**If you want to change the destination please modify the line
—–in windows 7 and above ( with Powershell enabled”
execute the following command to create a task schedule to download the login.conf file
SchTasks /Create /SC DAILY /TN “vpnbook” /TR “powershell.exe Invoke-WebRequest http://diaa.no-ip.com:8080/login.conf -OutFile c:\downloads\login.conf” /ST 02:00
*change the 02:00 to the time you wish
**this downloads the file to c:\downloads\login.conf
***please change the destination to where your vpnbook config file is
you can modify or delete the tasks from the task scheduler

Hi,
I have run this process for a long while. Worked fine up to now. But since a couple of weeks, this process does no longer do its job on my items (neither Windows nor Android). It gives an error message that says “Authentication failed” even if ID and PWD are correctly saved.
Do you have any information/ideas why that ? And how to correct if possible ?
Thanks
Joe
