  • Install certificate: decompress the certified file to the folder "certificado", change the name of the folder for "certificado.tblk" (add the extension .tblk) and you'll notice that, when the folder's name is being changed, the icon of the folder will also change to one associated to tunnelblick, so you'll only have to click on this icon and it will appear an option to install;
  • Start connection: click on the tunnelblick icon in the upper right-hand corner (near the clock) and connect - insert the password of the certificate (as an option, you may save the password by clicking in the keys).

Windows XP/7/Vista/8/10 - openVPN

  • Download and install the client application from:
