How to install OpenVPN on Android

Actions

  1. Install Arne Schwabe's OpenVPN for Android. It is the most frequently updated and secure OpenVPN client for Android.

  2. Download the .ovpn file you need in your account and save it somewhere on your Android device.

  3. Open the OpenVPN for Android application and import the .ovpn file. It will create a new profile from the configuration file.

  4. Your login & password are the same as on our website.

(Optionally) Edit the imported profile and set your username and password if you do not want to be asked every time.

You can now connect to that profile. On connection it will show the log while trying to connect. If it fails to connect, you can use the menu here to send the log by email to support at xeovo.com or copy it in a support ticket.
