Connect to OpenVPN from a mobile device
- [Instructor] To connect to an OpenVPN server from a mobile device, or, really, any other device, you'll need to install the OpenVPN client. You'll also need to securely provide the clients the relevant connection information. That'll be the client.ovpn profile, or another profile that you've configured for them to connect. You'll need to make sure some ports are open. OpenVPN uses UDP 1194 and TCP 443. And the OpenVPN server provides an administrative website on TCP port 943. Once you have the OpenVPN client installed on a device, you can send the profile over there. On iOS, opening the profile opens up the OpenVPN application and presents you with the opportunity to add a profile. Once the profile is added, you can flip the switch and connect. You'll be prompted for your password, and once you type that in, you'll be connected.
