The Android platform comes with APIs that let developers create virtual private network (VPN) solutions. These apps offer VPN protocols that the built-in client can’t support, and can help you connect to the VPN service without requiring a complex configuration.
This article explains how to use OpenVPN on your Android device to connect with NordVPN servers. This article also shows how to manually configure the connection using the NordVPN application and an OpenVPN Profile. This is more difficult but it allows you to have greater control over the quality of your connection as well as mobile data.
To get started to begin, download the OpenVPN Connect app from the Google Play Store. Then, you will need to obtain the OpenVPN configuration files from your VPN service provider. These config files have a.ovpn extension and can be downloaded from the VPN provider’s website or by contact their live chat service for assistance. After downloading the config files to your computer or Android device, you can transfer them to. You can download directly to your device, or use an app such as ZArchiver.
Launch the OpenVPN application and then tap “+” to create an existing VPN profile. Select a server, and then tap “Connect”. Once connected, all Internet traffic is directed through the secure tunnel to the server you have selected. The app also displays the status and the details in the Status tab. The app also has an all-day-long VPN option that keeps the connection alive even when the app isn’t active.
