AriaVPN User Guide: Secure Your Online Experience Easily
AriaVPN User Guide
AriaVPN is a young and growing privacy-centric VPN service committed to providing secure online experiences. In the absence of branded client applications (under development), the AriaVPN website serves as an integrated solution enabling customers to download plain OpenVPN SSL-based certificates directly from our VPN servers via PHP and BASH scripts. These certificates can then be used with any compatible third-party OpenVPN client to connect to the AriaVPN network.
Our service is currently best suited for VPN users who prioritize privacy and security over the number of location options available and for those who prefer to use a custom, open-source client, such as NetworkManager on Linux, Tunnelblick on Mac, or OpenVPN Connect on any other platform.
We currently have a small but high-performing complement of VPN servers in USWest (LA), US-East (Ohio), Southeast Europe (Bulgaria), and Southeast Asia (Malaysia) and software solutions at the ready that enable us to scale on demand.
In our user guide below, we will walk you through accessing our servers from choosing a plan to connecting to our servers.
Here's how you can get started:
Step 1: Choose the Right Plan:
- Visit AriaVPN and navigate to the pricing section.
- Choose a plan that suits your needs and budget. Plans are available in various durations from one month, one year to five years.
Step 2: Select Payment Method:
- Decide on the cryptocurrency you'd like to use for payment. AriaVPN accepts Monero, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, and most recently, HIVE and HBD.
- Ensure you have the required amount of cryptocurrency in your wallet.
- Either click the address to copy it into your wallet or scan the QR code with your phone to be directed to your wallet of choice.
In the example above, we’re buying a plan with Monero. For the hardcore privacy advocates, we suggest paying with Monero due to its privacy features, including untraceable transactions, unlinkability, fungibility and resistance to analysis–not to mention that it aligns with our commitment to providing users with the highest standards of online privacy and security.
We Recommend CakeWallet:
If you’re looking for a light and user-friendly wallet that provides seamless Monero transactions, we suggest using CakeWallet. CakeWallet simplifies the process of managing Monero funds and is completely non-custodial and open-source and shares AriaVPN's commitment to privacy and security, making it a trusted choice for handling Monero transactions within the AriaVPN ecosystem.
Step 3: Make Payment:
- Send the exact amount of cryptocurrency to the provided address within the designated timeframe. Ensure accuracy to avoid plan length adjustments.
Step 4: Download OpenVPN Certificates:
- Once the payment is confirmed, you'll receive access to download OpenVPN certificates.
- These certificates are essential for establishing a secure connection to AriaVPN servers.
- Choose the server location you prefer and download the corresponding certificate.
Step 5: Set Up VPN Connection:
- Install a compatible OpenVPN client on your device. Options include NetworkManager (Linux), Tunnelblick (Mac), or OpenVPN Connect (Windows).
- Import the downloaded certificates into your OpenVPN client.
In the example above, we’re using Tunnelblick.
Step 6: Connect to AriaVPN:

- Enter your credentials if prompted, and initiate the connection.
