Designed for use with OpenVPN’s zero-trust business VPN solutions, this app enables secure remote access to internal networks, cloud resources, and private applications.

OpenVPN Connect Reviews

Used in Oz

Thank you, I would use you again if in another country, as it allowed me to keep up with my usual uk viewing on my 4 week holiday

Not fit for purpose

Vaujanolo on

United Kingdom

If you look at the screenshot above entitled fast and secure you’ll see where it says to upload a profile you go to the Finder. There is no Finder on an iPad. These instructions are for a Mac not for an iOS device. Whoever wrote this app clearly has never used an iPad or an iPhone. It would be simple to add a file upload option where you can upload a profile as it is I have no idea how you’re supposed to do this. I don’t have a URL to use because I’m not using a VPN server as such. I am using my own router Which can download profiles. I have got it working but not using open VPN connect. I had to use the third-party app which makes this app completely and utterly pointless.

Problems easily sorted out

I had a couple of issues at the beginning using this app but email contact with The administrator got them easily sorted out. He was very informative and it works perfectly thank you very much.

VPN keeps dropping immediately and repeatedly in a loop

my2¢ents on

United Kingdom

OpenVPN connects and immediately drops, in a constant loop. This has been a persistent problem for a couple of months on iOS and iPadOS devices. I had hoped an update would fix it, but this version DOESN’T. ⭐️ NIP: iOS reported network status unavailable ⭐️ OS Event: NET UNAVAILABLE (PAUSE): Internet:NotReachable/W- ------- ⭐️ Stop tunnel requested with reason: 1 EVENT: DISCONNECTED

For blank black screen try this

JalboBaggins on

United Kingdom

I hadn’t used this app for a while and had set up a new VPN server today. I opened this app to try to configure it as a client of the new VPN but on trying to open the app all I got was an instant black screen. Checking in the App Store I found the app had an update button so I updated it. Same thing - black screen. Saw similar recent reviews and thought the app must be broken. After a while I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. Now it was working - no more black screen. Might not fix every case but surprisingly it fixed my problem. I hope this helps someone.
