4. By default files are downloaded to /tmp/ folder on your linux. In our case exact file location of zipped OpenVPN certificates is /tmp/Astrill-Linux-CLI-OpenVPN.zip. I have created a new folder on Desktop, called Astrill-OpenVPN, exact location is /root/jovica/Desktop/Astrill-OpenVPN, I change current location to that directory. To unzip OpenVPN certificates, type in unzip /tmp/Astrill-Linux-CLI-OpenVPN.zip

5. Run the OpenVPN client with the downloaded client config file. You can use any VP server, type in sudo openvpn --config 01-USA-Dallas-1.ovpn. If you see Initialization Sequence Completed, that means you are successfully connected to Astrill OpenVPN.
