Step 2: Create a Server on the UH VPN Website
The UH VPN website is the command and control centre for the VPN deployment. All VPN settings are managed through this interface. The first step is to create an account. Then once logged in, click the management tab and then press the “Create New Group” button. One is then presented with the following page:

If you’re just using UH VPN for a single device, go ahead and click the “Free Plan” button. However, if you’d like access to more features such as custom app branding, unlimited devices and advanced VPN options, then choose the premium plan.
Choose an appropriate name for the group E.g. Personal and then leave the timeout set at 86400. Then press the “Submit” button and the group will be created.
Click on the group name that has just been created and the following page will be presented:
