Hello Alien_x,
OpenVPN Cloud is a virtual private network. By default it is completely isolated and purely internal only. When you connect 1 device to it, you've basically achieved almost nothing valuable. When you connect 2 or more devices to it, they can communicate with each other over that internal virtual private network. If you want to use it to access websites, you will need to have one of your devices connected as a 'connector' that allows Internet traffic to be sent in/out over it. That will provide the link between the internal virtual private network, and the Internet. Other devices connected to your OpenVPN Cloud account can then use the Internet connection that this connector provides.
So simply put, you cannot use it with just a single computer to bypass some Internet restrictions. You need more connected to get that going.
And no, we do not provide such Internet nodes ourselves. You will have to provide one.
Kind regards,
Johan
