How to set up QNAP with Surfshark OpenVPN protocol

Updated:

This article will show you how to set up your QNAP with the OpenVPN protocol.

 

You will learn how to:

 

To proceed, you need to have a QNAP and an active Surfshark subscription, which you can purchase on our pricing page.

 

 

Find your login details

Surfshark service credentials are different from your Surfshark account credentials, namely your email address and your password. You’ll need Surfshark service credentials to connect to the VPN using the manual OpenVPN configuration method explained below.

Here is how you can get your Surfshark service credentials:

  1. Go to this page, where you will find all of the details required for a manual connection.

    You may need to log in before proceeding to this page. In that case, enter your email address and your password, then click Log in.

  2. Click on the Credentials tab at the top. You will find the Surfshark service credentials here.



    It's a good idea to keep this page open for now. You will need these credentials a bit later.

 

 

Choose a Surfshark server

Every server (location) has a configuration file that you will need to connect to the VPN. You can download all of the configuration files from our website.

  1. Go to this page. It’s the same page where the Surfshark service credentials are stored.

  2. Select the Locations tab, where you will see all of the Surfshark servers. 



  3. You will need an OpenVPN configuration file for the location of your choice. For example, if you wish to connect to Germany, download Germany - Berlin or Germany - Nuernberg server by clicking on the location and then on UDP to download the configuration file. 

 

 

Configure the OpenVPN client

  1. Access your QNAP and go to QVPN Service -> VPN Client -> Add -> OpenVPN.
