How to set up OpenVPN connection on iPad/iPhone

The following is required to set up OpenVPN on iOS:        
  • A secure FastVPN connection, if you do not have one - sign up here.
  • Access to your FastVPN account panel in order to get your network credentials.
  • OpenVPN Connect app (which you can get for your iPhone or iPad from App Store).
Once OpenVPN Connect is installed and ready to go, to complete the configuration, upload a config file that defines the settings or preferences for the OpenVPN connection.

You can download all of the config files for all of our servers directly from here or from the FastVPN Account panel:
