@MurielA

How far in the setup process have you gotten before you've ran into problems?

Does your Chromebook have Google Play Store on it?

I don't have a Chromebook myself, but apparently if it has the Play Store you can install an OpenVPN Client that supports setup via configuration file from there and then the setup process would be the same as on any Android phone or tablet.

On the Archer A7 I recommend you just use the default settings for protocol, port and subnet address. Then "Generate" the certificate and then "Export" the configuration file.

Then copy that configuration file to the Chromebook and open it with the OpenVPN client.
