Before starting your Lab, download and install OpenVPN Client (Connect

http://openvpn.net/index.php?option=com_content&id=357

Once the client is installed, reboot your system (you actually have to
reboot to avoid later issues).

B. CREATE USER AND PASSWORD


In order to connect through the VPN, you first need to create an
Username and a Password. To do that open the ‘Manage credentials’ tab

Note: Username and password works for all your VPN tunnels..

The new credentials applies from the next tunnel creation.

C. HOW IS MY TOTAL TIME CALCULATED WITH


ON-DEMAND MODEL?
You purchase an amount of hours to use on Hera Lab.

This amount of time is decreased when you use Hera Lab for exactly
the number of minutes of each of your session.

E.g.

You purchase 30 hours and you use the lab for 26 minutes you will
have 29 hours and 34 minutes left. After that you then use the lab
for exactly 72 minutes: you will have 27 hours and 22 minutes left.
Note: the time required for the Tunnel to be created/destroyed is not counted
towards your remaining minutes.
