How to use the VPN on Windows

You’ll need to connect to the VPN for remote connection to an edit suite and/or to gain access to the Tempshare for a specific production.
 

Firstly, you’ll need to download the required program for Windows. This will be the installer & the Argonon.ovpn file.

1. Download the installer & Argonon.ovpn file from the link above. Run and install OpenVPN-2.6.0-I005-amd64.msi

2. Right click the icon in the task bar. If there isn’t a ‘Connect’ option, you’ll need to import the Argonon.ovpn configuration file.

 

3. Locate to the Argonon.ovpn file and select ‘Open’

 

4. Right click the icon and select ‘Connect’.

 

5. You’ll then be prompted with a username & password panel. Enter your edit credentials that were sent to you.

The username will always be edit.xx – xx replacing the edit crate number, unless you are using your Windfall credentials.

An example of this would be:

Username: edit.07 (EP’s would use firstname.lastname instead)
Password: Hello World (EP’s would use their Windfall password)

 

Press ‘OK’. The icon in the task bar should turn green.

You are now connected to the VPN on Windows.
