Connecting to Access Server with Android

Overview

Access Server supports VPN connections from Android devices using a VPN client app. Our Android app, OpenVPN Connect, makes it easy to do that.

Install OpenVPN Connect

You can download OpenVPN Connect for free from the Google Play Store. Follow the instructions in our OpenVPN Connect documentation to install and connect to the Access Server: Install OpenVPN Connect on Android.

Tip: Ensure you follow the steps for Access Server. The OpenVPN Connect documentation also provides steps for our cloud product, CloudConnexa, and generic OpenVPN servers.

Other OpenVPN clients

Access Server is compatible with the OpenVPN protocol — an open-source standardized protocol. Apps that support the OpenVPN protocol can connect to Access Server.

The OpenVPN for Android app on the Play Store works well with Access Server. It's targeted at advanced users. It's based on the community version of OpenVPN, and the community considers it their "semi-official" client app.

Other OpenVPN clients on the Play Store are likely compatible, but we have no information about them here.
