# Connection

These sections provide information about connecting and disconnecting to a VPN server with OpenVPN Connect.

> **Important**
>
> **OpenVPN Connect doesn't provide VPN service**
>
> OpenVPN Connect works with all OpenVPN protocol-compatible VPN servers or services but **doesn't offer a built-in VPN service**. Instead, it's the way you connect with your VPN service through a [connection profile](https://openvpn.net/connect-docs/connection-profiles.md).
>
> Refer to [How to Get Your Connection Profile](https://openvpn.net/connect-docs/get-connection-profile.md).
