3. Launch the OpenVPN Connect app, and if you are already on the 'Upload File' screen, choose the 'BROWSE' tab to start adding a profile.

  • If you already have profiles loaded in your app, you will need to either click the '+' button in the lower right or the menu icon in the top left and choose 'BROWSE'.

 

4. Locate where you downloaded the .ovpn file from step 2, select it, and then hit 'Done' > on the next step choose 'OK'.

6. Click the 'Connect' button at the bottom and hit 'Continue' on the Select Certificate popup (no need to select a certificate). 

 

 

7. To disconnect, you can tap the green bar in the profile to set it back to a disconnected state. If you are looking at the status of the connection, simply click the 'DISCONNECT' button.

If you wish to add another server, you can repeat instructions, starting at #3, to import another .ovpn file.
