4. VPN Setup
Click "VPN" tab on the top of the screen to see GUI below (Figure 10).
Figure 10 VPN Setting UI
We know end user does not care about what protocol, what encryption, key exchange, etc. All user
needs is a secure tunnel. That why we keep the VPN UI extremely simple.
Figure 10 shows VPN setting UI of two variants. The left one is for the product that connects to our
HTTPS-VPN servers on cloud. The right one is for the product that connects to your own VPN server at
home if you buy our "HTTPS-VPN server & client pair" product.
Click "+ VPN Configuration ..." to see the configurable items.
To disable/enable VPN, click the switch next to the "on" word. If VPN is disabled, this USB dongle is
simply a USB-to-WiFi adapter and a WiFi repeater.
Product Variant 1 : Use our VPN servers on cloud
At this moment, we have two HTTPS-VPN servers, in North America and Europe, respectively. By default,
it connects to server in North America. You can change it to suit your needs. The change would take
effect immediately.

9
By default, the tightest security policy is enforced. All network traffic is double encrypted by AES-CBC-
256. You can uncheck "Double Encryption" to improve speed a little bit and the VPN tunnel is still secure
enough.
Product Variant 2 : Use your own VPN server at home
Your HTTPS-VPN server at home supports up to 5 users.
On USB dongle, "server ip", "username" and "password" are needed to be configured.
Please use the public IP of your home router, NOT the IP in format like "192.168.x.1". You can find out
your public IP easily by type "https://www.whatismypulicip.com" in browser. It will tell you your public
IP. You need to do this while you are at home.
Figure 11 Find Out Your Public IP
TIP: Your router public IP may change over time. You can configure DDNS on your router and then
use DDNS name as server IP. The right part of Figure 10 shows an example.
The username & password comes from your HTTPS-VPN server setting. The HTTPS-VPN server can be
plug-n-play. If you use factory default setting on HTTPS-VPN server side, the default username &
passwords are:
test1 & vpneveryone
test2 & vpneveryone
test3 & vpneveryone
test4 & vpneveryone
test5 & vpneveryone

5. Advanced Setup
For most users, the settings in "WiFi" and "VPN" sections are enough. The "Advanced" setup is rarely
needed. You will get a warning message on accessing "Advanced" UI page.
Figure 12 Advanced Settings
By default, the hotspot LAN is 192.168.10.0/24. And you should stick to this setting. Only if the wireless
uplink happens to be 192.168.10.0/24 should you change this setting.
To change hotspot LAN, click "192.168.10.0". The "10" part then becomes editable. Input your new
value and hit "Enter" on your keyboard to commit the change.
To change hotspot network name, click "vpneveryone.ddns.net". Then it becomes editable. Input your
new value and hit "Enter" on your keyboard to commit the change.
To change web UI password, click "********". Then it becomes editable. Input your new value and hit
"Enter" on your keyboard to commit the change.
In all three cases above, if you change your mind in the middle of change, click the left part to cancel the
change. e.g. Clicking "Hotspot Name" before you hit "Enter" on your keyboard would cancel the change
and the original value is restored.
You rarely need to reboot USB dongle via UI. You can reboot USB dongle by pulling USB connector and
plug it back in.
You rarely need a factory default reset. Only if you think you mis-configure something and don't know
where it is, you may factory default it.

FAQ
1) Q: Do I have to plug the USB dongle in PC?
A: No, you don't have to plug it in PC. You can plug it in USB power bank (e.g. Figure 14) and put
them in your backpack. Then use your smart phone to connect to the "Personal Hotspot" and
manage/use the USB dongle.
Just a heads-up that your wireless link between smart phone and USB dongle may be cut off
when you configure WiFi part, e.g. connect to different WiFi network, change hotspot
name/password, etc.
Figure 14 USB Power Bank Example
2) Q: What OS supports your USB dongle?
A: For "Windows 7", "Windows 10" and "Ubuntu Linux", the USB dongle is plug-n-play. No
driver is needed, neither is configuration needed.

12
For other favor Linux, no driver is needed. But you may need to set up network manually. e.g.
run command "ifconfig usb0 192.168.10.2" explicitly.
For Mac OS, the USB part is not stable. Please use WiFi to connect to HTTPS-VPN dongle.
3) Q: Most public WiFi hotspot would require a "disclaimer" / "acknowledge", etc. before WiFi
connection is usable. Would your USB dongle work in this case?
A: Yes, our HTTPS-VPN USB dongle would work in such case. Before WiFi connection is usable,
the VPN tunnel is not created. The "disclaimer" / "acknowledge" page would be automatically
forwarded to the device (smartphone / PC) that first access internet. Such device can check
"acknowledge" or click "disclaimer" button. After that, VPN tunnel can be created and
everything works as it should.
Just a heads-up that, usually such WiFi hotspot would require you to do "disclaimer" /
"acknowledge" thing once a hour. VPN tunnel can be blocked after one hour. It will time out and
reconnect in about one minute. If you cannot wait, you can login to the VPN UI page (Figure 10).
Then disable VPN and enable VPN again.
4) Q: I notice that in the "Advanced --> About" section, the subscription ends in 365 days. What
does that mean?
A: Each USB-Dongle comes with 1 year VPN service subscription. The subscription info is in this
"About" section.
After subscription expires, you have a few options.
a) Buy a new USB-dongle which would come with 1 year subscription.
b) Re-use the USB-dongle and renew VPN service subscription. Email us the 32 byte long
string in the "HW Signature" part. We will send you a download link for the
software+subscription that only works only on this hardware.
c) Disable VPN and use this dongle as USB-to-WiFi adapter or WiFi repeater.
Actually, there is another option. That is, set up your own HTTPS-VPN server. We have HTTPS-
VPN server & client pair combo for sale. email [email protected] for further
information.
5) Q: Other than some foreign countries, any other places that monitor your internet traffic or
block VPN service?
A: As a matter of fact, there are more places than you can think. Even in US, there are a few
places that legitimately monitor your internet traffic. e.g. Your work place may provide free
internet access. But you are explicitly told that your internet activity is subject to being

13
monitored. If you read the "disclaimer" / "acknowledgement" when you connect WiFi hotspot,
you will find some of them explicitly says you are monitored.
In a lot of school systems and shopping malls, they provide free WiFi. But their DPI firewall also
blocks standard VPN. Typically, in such case, you will find that your WiFi connection is cut off
right away whenever you try to connect IPsec or OpenVPN .
If you don't feel comfortable being monitored legitimately, this HTTPS-VPN dongle is your
choice.
