Linux

The right way of configuring your Linux to work with Ivacy depends on Linux distribution you use. It's almost impossible to cover all distros, graphical environments and VPN frontends out there; this is why we provide you with instructions and screenshots of setting up an Ivacy acount using Ubuntu Linux, one of most widespread distros out there.

If you use different distro, please consult with developers and maintainers of your distro.

1. Click on network icon. In the dropdown menu choose VPN Connections → Configure VPN.
2. Press Add.
   Select Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) and click Create.
3. Connection Name: Ivacy VPN
   Gateway: pptp.ivacy.com
   Type your user name and password you chose for registration in Ivacy
   
   Press Advanced.
