About this app

WHAT IS OPENVPN CONNECT?
OpenVPN Connect is the official OpenVPN client app developed by OpenVPN Inc., the creators of the OpenVPN® protocol. Designed for use with OpenVPN’s zero-trust business VPN solutions, this app enables secure remote access to internal networks, cloud resources, and private applications. A zero-trust VPN is a virtual private network that requires continuous identity and device verification for every access request, adhering to the principle of 'never trust, always verify,' regardless of the user's location.

Great app! Works really well, I have a stable connection to my home network. This version however seems to have a bug. Whenever my screen auto rotates to protrait mode, it disconnects my connection and I have to manually restart it. That gets annoying when using it to watch movies. Would love to see it fixed!

Could you please clarify one thing, if you remove app from recents when your VPN is connected, is connection dropping as well?

Really wanted this to work but it wouldn't. i followed all the tutorials and it would connect but would always "hang" indefinitely. almost like it worked 60 percent of the way and then couldn't resolve somehow. Tried tailscale and it worked buttery smooth. I won't give up on openvpn yet, maybe an updated version or some revelation will come to light. Id prefer no middleman and dont want a google,ms, apple id to use tailscale. i really like the self hosting and privacy aspect of openvpn.

great interface, but I found some annoying moments. 1 - if the application is not in the foreground, then attempt to connect to vpn server unsuccessful if you click on the button tile in the status bar. It would also be cool if instead of creating a launcher, you could make a server selection for connection with a long click
