title: Does OpenVPN encrypt my traffic between my computer and VPN server?
body: <p>I set up my own VPN by installing OpenVPN on a Ubuntu server, then I download <code>client.ovpn</code> file from Ubuntu server to my Windows laptop. And then, I import that <code>client.ovpn</code> to <code>OpenVPN GUI</code> app on Windows and finally, I connect to my Ubuntu VPN server and everything work fine. </p>
  
  <p>I installed OpenVPN on Ubuntu server using this instruction: <a href="https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/angristan/openvpn-install</a></p>
  
  <p>So i think traffic flow will be like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>My computer (browser,...) --&gt; Ubuntu OpenVPN server --&gt; Internet.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My question is does OpenVPN GUI encrypt traffic between my computer to Ubuntu OpenVPN server?</p>
  
  <p>And as always, thank you so much.</p>
