How to Get Your Connection Profile
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. You need a connection profile to connect to an OpenVPN protocol-compatible VPN server or service. This file contains the directives, parameters, and certificates required to establish the client-server VPN connection.
Below, you'll find the options for getting your connection profile.

Using an OpenVPN-compatible VPN service or server?
OpenVPN is a de facto VPN standard many consumer VPN providers use, and many recommend using the OpenVPN Connect app to access their services.
If you signed up for a consumer VPN, contact them for further instructions on obtaining a connection profile to connect to their service.
If you are trying to connect to an OpenVPN-compatible router or server, check that router/server manufacturer's website for instructions.
