Weekly Tip: How to use OpenVPN on an iPad or iPhone
until recently it was not possible to use the OpenVPN protocol on an iPad or iPhone (unless you "jailbreak" your device), such as VPN settings in iOS devices do not include OpenVPN option.
Fortunately, the good people over at OpenVPN, Inc. released an app in the App Store that allows the creation of an OpenVPN connection, and you can use this in conjunction with your HMA Pro VPN Account .
of all you need to download the OpenVPN application from the App Store on your Apple device First.
Then you must import the profile HMA Pro VPN server you want to connect. This can be done in a number of ways.
- Use Dropbox
- Use your computer and email
If you have the Dropbox app installed, you can create a link to this public dropbox, and add it to your Dropbox folder list.
then select from TCP or UDP protocols and open the folder. Then select from the list of servers and open the file. Click the icon in the top corner to the right, giving you the option "Open in OpenVPN" - and select this option.
On your PC or Mac go to http://hidemyass.com/vpn -config /vpn-config.zip and download and extract the files to your computer.
you can then send the configuration file you want to use for yourself and open the email on your iPad or iPhone. Once you have the attachment, you can click on the "Open in" and select OpenVPN.
Whichever route you use, now you started the OpenVPN application. Then click on the "+" button to add the profile, then add your username usual HMA Pro VPN and password.
Finally, you simply move the connection switch on the application "on" and you're done!
You can repeat these steps and install various VPN servers, if you have a range to choose from.
We will soon publish our own native iOS application for iPad and iPhone, but now it's probably the best way to implement.
