Connecting to vpnme server

diolu

I am trying to connect from linux (archlinux) to https://www.vpnme.me/ with openvpn (with the command line openvpn). According to the archlinux wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenVPN) I need a config file that I can generate by filling in the values in /usr/share/openvpn/examples/client.conf.
The only instructions they provide is this:
https://www.vpnme.me/freevpn.html
and this
https://www.vpnme.me/configs.html

I am unable to generate a valid config file with this. In particular I lack a ca file needed by the config file. Obviously I am missing something; does anybody have a valid configuration for this server (or a suggestion from a similar service)?

There is a great big DOWNLOAD button on their website for the config you need ...

Yes shame of me, I admit I was a bit stupid here. However they apparently supports two protocol pptp and openvpn. The openvpn works with the downloaded config. But is it possible to configure openvpn to use the pptp protocol. Although vpnme support the two protocols, other free vpn servers support only pptp and have similar terse instructions. Maybe I should use pptp directly for this?

OpenVPN and PPTP are two different and incompatible protocols.
Use OpenVPN.

P.S.
I do not understand that PPTP is still around or offered... From a NSA point of view I do :mrgreen:
