## Common questions

### Where do I put the OpenVPN configuration file and login data?

Add your .ovpn file(s) to the config folder and edit logindata.conf.

### Which ports should proxy clients use?

Privoxy listens on port 8118, and SOCKS is available on port 1080.

### How do I keep local network traffic from routing through the proxy?

Set LOCAL_NET to comma-separated CIDR ranges for local addresses that should bypass the proxy.

### Can I manage VPN users after the initial setup?

Run the installer again to add more users, remove some users, or completely uninstall OpenVPN over HTTP.
