Free OpenVPN Server Finder Extension

This tool discovers and downloads free OpenVPN servers (download the OVPN configuration file for you). The extension is built on the VPNGate experimental project, which serves as an academic research service from the Graduate School of the University of Tsukuba, Japan.

4. You can now batch download multiple VPN profiles in a ZIP archive format
