Note : You can only generate and use the standard Openvpn profiles. You cannot use "Split Routing for China" profiles due to size limitation imposed by Openvpn Connect app. Split Routing profiles are meant to be used on computers only.


After tapping on the server you wish to use and it would start downloading the profile on your device. Tap on Accept and it will import OVPN config file into OpenVPN Connect app.
