Help Transferring a Profile to Android
If you're having trouble importing a profile on Android, try these steps:
1. Ensure all files are in the same directory
When you import a .ovpn file, ensure all files referenced by it, such as ca, cert, and key files, are in the same directory on the device as the .ovpn file.
2. Check formatting and size
Profiles must be UTF-8 (or ASCII) and under 256 KB in size.
3. Use the unified format for OpenVPN profiles (option 1)
Consider using the unified format for OpenVPN profiles, which allows all certs and keys to be embedded into the .ovpn file. This simplifies OpenVPN configuration management by integrating all configuration elements into a single file.
3. Use the Android Keychain (option 2)
Another approach to eliminate certificates and keys from the OpenVPN profile is to use the Android Keychain. For information about this, refer to Android FAQs for OpenVPN Connect.
