Step 3
Next, we need to install our server options into the OpenVPN App.

There are 2 different types of configuration files, if you are connecting from a restricted location (UAE, Saudi, China, Egypt, etc) please use the 'NoHosts' link shown below.

Open the appropriate link below in Chrome, these contain our Android OpenVPN configuration files

Step 4
With the link in Step 3 open, you will see a list of configuration files, similar to the below screenshot.

You should select the location you want to appear to be in; UK for UK sites, USA for USA sites, etc.

Tap on an option name, to download that configuration file. The configuration file will then be downloaded to your device, in the background.


Which options should I use?!

  • Port 1 is labelled 'Performance', these are typically the fastest
  • Port 2 is labelled 'Fallback', these may be required from some restricted locations
  • We recommend you experiment, to see which works best for you.

Start the OpenVPN Connect App that you downloaded in Step 2 from the Play Store.
