WHAT IS OPENVPN CONNECT?

The OpenVPN Connect app does NOT independently provide a VPN service. It is a client application that establishes and transports data over an encrypted secure tunnel via the internet, using the OpenVPN protocol, to a VPN server.


WHICH VPN SERVICES CAN BE USED WITH OPENVPN CONNECT?

OpenVPN Connect is the only VPN client created, developed, and maintained by OpenVPN Inc. Our customers use it with our business solutions, listed below, for secure remote access, enforcing zero trust network access (ZTNA), protecting access to SaaS apps, securing IoT communications, and in many other scenarios.


- CloudConnexa™: This cloud-delivered service integrates virtual networking with essential secure access service edge (SASE) capabilities such as firewall-as-a-service (FWaaS), intrusion detection and prevention system (IDS/IPS), DNS-based content filtering, and zero-trust network access (ZTNA). Using CloudConnexa™, businesses can quickly deploy and manage a secure overlay network that connects all of their applications, private networks, workforce, and IoT/IIoT devices without owning and operating a multitude of complex, hard-to-scale security and data networking gear. CloudConnexa™ can be accessed from more than 30 worldwide locations and uses patent-pending technologies to create a full-mesh network topology for improved performance and routing to private applications—hosted on multiple connected networks—simply by using the application name (for example, app.mycompany.com).

- OpenVPN Access Server: This self-hosted VPN solution for remote access and site-to-site networking provides granular access control and supports SAML, RADIUS, LDAP, and PAM for user authentication. It can be deployed as a cluster to provide active/active redundancy and for operating at high scale.

OpenVPN Connect can also be used to connect to any server or service compatible with OpenVPN protocol or running the open source Community edition.


HOW TO USE OPENVPN CONNECT?

OpenVPN Connect receives configuration information for the VPN server using a “connection profile” file. It can be imported into the app using a file with a .ovpn file extension or a website URL. The file or website URL and user credentials are provided by the VPN service administrator.

Pros and cons of OpenVPN Connect – OpenVPN App app for iPhone and iPad

OpenVPN Connect – OpenVPN App app good for

My VPNs wouldnt work with the last version, but they work with this update. Thanks! :)
A widget would be great in order to quickly turn the VPN on! Beside that, the app works like a charm and the UI now looks great on new iPhones!
Works fine, no problem at all! But, please add widget support for quick connect in Notification Center!
Thats how a change log looks like! Great work and thanks for the support, work and time you put into this!
I am very pleased that the app working with no single issue on my iPhone and other devices.
The interface could use some modernizing but its functional and easy to use. I wish theyd add 3D Touch support for quickly connecting to a default VPN.

Some bad moments

I have the following error: apple_digest_error. It was working fine until the update
It was working fine, then the latest update causes issue. I tried going to into Settings App under OpenVPN. But there is nothing (blank) after clicking on OpenVPN. No good.
The additional steps required after step 1 are confusing to seniors, the unschooled or ESL types.... click on help and get nowhere❗There are plenty of other free VPNs that are MUCH simpler / user friendly.... Sad, only sophisticated geeks can figure out how to use this‼️ Elitist snobs. Deleting this.
Ive found the application to be reliable when connecting to a number of OpenVPN services, including commercial services and our own corporate VPN. What the application does need, is to take advantage of touch ID, since the application itself can be used to connect to sensitive (enough) networks, while not having a facility to use a password manager, which can make hardened VPN passwords too challenging to type in repeatedly. The other major drawback is theres no way to insist the VPN be used at all costs (or that it stays connected), but thats more likely an Apple/iOS thing. Other than interface being abysmal, its reliable and hey, its free!
Version 1.0.7 destroyed my connection with OpenVPN on QNAP NAS. Version 1.0.5 worked fine. After upgrade I losted VPN. Be carefully.
If you didnt already, dont upgrade to the latest version-it doesnt work!
