SoftEther VPN setup
From the SoftEther download page, most users should select from the dropdown menus:

OpenVPN Connect
1. From your proxy portal, download the OpenVPN Profile (UDP Default) and extract the .zip folder.
If you experience issues, try downloading the UDP Alternate profile instead.
2. Open OpenVPN Connect. Select Upload File, then Browse, and then navigate to the extracted folder and select the .ovpn file. Click Connect.
The included .conf file needs to be present in the same directory as the .ovpn file. Drag and drop will not work because it will not include the .conf file in the import.
3. On the first connection, you will see a warning about a missing external certificate. Simply check the box for Don't show again for this profile, and click Continue. You should now be connected to your proxy via VPN.
Alternative: OpenVPN GUI

C:\Users\*Username*\OpenVPN
3. Drag and drop the extracted OpenVPN profile (include both the .ovpn and .conf files) into the config folder located in
C:\Users\*Username*\OpenVPN\config
4. Once the files have been moved into the config folder, open OpenVPN GUI and connect to the newly added profile.
You should now be connected to your MobileHop proxy by VPN.
