Hi all 👋🏽

I own quite a few GL.iNet and I use Mullvad as a VPN provider. Trouble is Mullvad limits me to 5 certs/devices. Entering my account number from Mullvad on my GL.iNet router is a nice and easy way to get all the configs set up but it takes up 1 out of my 5 devices. **Is there a way to copy the configs to all my other routers (via ssh, scp, etc) without have to register each device?** Only one router would be using the VPN at any given moment, but I do have more than 5 so what I have been doing is removing devices and onboarding them as needed which is a little tedious.

Thanks!
