Report an issueOpenVPN Connect is the official OpenVPN client app developed by OpenVPN Inc., the creators of the OpenVPN® protocol. 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. A zero-trust VPN is a virtual private network that requires continuous identity and device verification for every access request, adhering to the principle of 'never trust, always verify,' regardless of the user's location.

It is meant for use with OpenVPN’s business Zero-trust VPN solutions: • Access Server (self-hosted) • CloudConnexa® (cloud-delivered)
KEY FEATURES • Fast, secure VPN tunneling with OpenVPN protocol • Strong AES-256 encryption and TLS 1.3 support • MDM-friendly with a global configuration file • Device posture checks** • Import of connection profile with URL** • Captive Wi-Fi portal detection • Web authentication for SAML SSO support • HTTP proxy configuration • Seamless split-tunneling and auto-reconnect • Works over Wi-Fi, LTE/4G, 5G, and all mobile networks • Easy setup & import of .ovpn profiles • Kill switch for fail-safe protection • IPv6 and DNS leak protection • Support for certificate, username/password, external certificate, and MFA authentication

8 of 15I would love to change this to 5 stars if this bug is fixed.
The toggle switch doesn’t look like a toggle switch anymore. Small but annoying.
App doesn’t register the .ovpn file handler, so you can no longer share to, or open with, a .ovpn profile. This is really dumb you can’t just open a profile from within the app!
The little oval that surrounds the “on/off” switch is missing after I updated to iOS 26. Without that oval, you can’t really tell if the switch is in the left or right position. This makes it so the only indication of whether the connection is on or off is if the button is grey or green, which is probably isn’t good for color blind people.
I think it's time for ios users to get an update for OpenVPN. After upgrading our phones to ios 26, we heared nothing from OpenVPN team untill now. Also I can't find OpenVPN in the "Background app refresh" menu of the ios. It automaticaly disconects everytime I lock my phone. It is so annoying.
Cannot get the OVPN file read into the app. Useless program.
Excellent universal and classic VPN application, where developers do not collect user data. Please add Russian language for the comfort and convenience of users.
Excellent functionality for our business vpn needs.
