Overview of the process in a YouTube walk-through-video below, step-by-step instructions below the walk-through-video on this page.
Step 1
Retrieve your VPN username and password, if you are a new member this is contained in the StreamVia Account Information email you received after ordering.
Step 2
Install the OpenVPN Connect App from the 'App Store' (i.e the Apple 'App Store' on your device). Make sure you continue reading below, as you will also need to install the StreamVia configuration files in order to connect.
Step 3
Open the below link in Safari, not a 3rd party browser, to download the OpenVPN Connect configuration files. Most people will require 'Standard' configuration files:
Download 'NoHosts' Configuration
Required from extreme censored/restricted locations; China, Iran, UAE, etc.
Step 4
From the list of configuration files (link above) tap the OpenVPN Configuration file you want to import, i.e where you want to appear to be.
We STRONGLY recommend you repeat these steps, to import ALL options for your chosen location, for example all UK, USA options. This will allow you to experiment, to see which works best from your physical location.
'Option 2' will probably work best from censored locations, China, Iran, UAE, etc, but try 'Option 1' as well.
Step 5
Tap Open in OpenVPN
Step 6
Tap the + sign, to import the configuration file
