An OpenSeizureDetector user, Steve Lee has been looking at how to make it work and has found that by using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) the user’s and carer’s phones can communicate even over mobile internet. Thank you, Steve for the following instructions:
- Create an openvpn cloud account by going to https://openvpn.net/cloud-vpn/ and then click Activate your free three connections

- Click on link in the verification email and then enter a secure password and other details.
