# How to Edit a VPN Profile in OpenVPN Connect

To edit a profile on your device:

1. Tap or click to open the **Menu**.
2. Tap or click **My Profiles**.
3. Find the profile to edit from the list and tap or click on the **Edit** icon.
   - The profile parameters display.

     > **Note**
     >
     > If you have an active connection with this profile, the message will display, "This profile is connected." You can't edit a profile with an active connection.

     > **Tip**
     >
     > On the edit screen, you can change certain parameters, depending on your profile type, such as:
     >
     > - **Profile Name:** Give the profile a name that displays in the app. The default is the username at the server domain.
     > - **Server Override:** (Optional) Manually enter a value to override the **Server Hostname** field populated above.
     > - **Proxy:** Include a proxy when connecting. This requires creating a separate [proxy](https://openvpn.net/connect-docs/create-a-proxy-configuration.md) configuration.
4. Tap or click **Save Changes**.
