HotBrick VPN Client can import or export a VPN Configuration. With this feature, IT managers can prepare a

configuration and deliver it to other users.

• Importing a configuration, select "File > Load configuration".

• Exporting a configuration, select "File > Save configuration".

All configuration files will have a ".tgb" extension.

You can open and modify an exported configuration file (extension .tgb) with any word processing e.g. Notepad

end users.
