====== Connecting to the VPN ======

There are several options for connecting to the VPN. On Windows platforms the most popular option will the be the Seed.ST VPN Client. Options for connecting form Linux and OSX are available too.

When you are connected to the VPN all traffic should be routed *through* the VPN. To the outside world your IP will appear to be the IP you were assigned when you connected.

While connected to the VPN the [[http://seed.st/new/vpn|VPN tab]] will show your current IP, currently connected server, and the options to enable or disable both the firewall and the DDNS features.

===== Windows =====
++++ Seed.ST VPN Client |
  - Download the Seed.ST VPN Client from [[http://www.seed.st/seedst-vpnclient-setup.exe]]
  - Installing the Seed.ST VPN client may request that you install the TAP-Win32 Adapter. This is the driver necessary to connect using OpenVPN, the most secure of the VPN options.
  - There have been reports of False Positives with regard to Symantec's Anti-Virus. This is a known problem and due to their ignorant Reputation Insight program that automatically categorizes all unrecognized/downloaded installers with a low reputation. More info about this is [[http://www.mindworkshop.info/windows/the-norton-symantec-ws-reputation-1-false-positive/|available here.]]
  - Once the application is installed you will be presented with the following dialog. {{ :vpn_dialog1.png?direct& |}}
  - The green check mark will appear if you type a valid username and password, otherwise you will see a red X indicating an invalid or expired account. By default the client will connect to the closest server, determined by ping, and use OpenVPN 256-bit(TCP/443). You can change this by clicking "Show Settings" as seen below. {{ :vpn_dialog2.png?direct& |}}
  - Upon clicking the "Connect" button the client will attempt to connect to the selected server. If connected successfully you will see a small dialog box pop-up in your notification area similar to the following image. {{ :vpn_dialog3.png?direct& |}}
