VPN setup on iOS / iPadOS

If you have not already done so, first install the OpenVPN Connect app. To do this, download it from the App Store and install the app on your device.

Once the installation is complete, please open the OpenVPN Connect app. Confirm the privacy policy by clicking on AGREE.

If you already have an existing VPN configuration, please delete it first. To do this, open the OpenVPN Connect app. Click on the pencil to the right of the current VPN configuration to enter edit mode. Now select DELETE PROFILE at the bottom. Confirm the deletion with YES.

Have your valid user certificate (as a ovpn12 key file) and the corresponding certificate password ready.

Open the "Files" app and navigate to the folder containing the user certificate.

Click on the user certificate and send it to the OpenVPN Connect app using the share icon. Select ADD to add it. Complete the import by entering the certificate password and clicking OK. Verify the successful import via Menu ☰ → Certificates.

If you have not already done so, please download the VPN profile.

Open the downloads. Click on the VPN profile and send it to the OpenVPN Connect app using the share icon.

Select ADD to add it.

Enter your username (URZ account).

Under Certificate and Key, click Assign, select the previously imported user certificate and click CONFIRM.

Click on CONNECT. Allow the VPN configuration to be added to the system (confirm with PIN or fingerprint if necessary).

Finally, enter the password for your URZ account and confirm with OK.

To establish the VPN connection, click on the grey button to the left of the current VPN profile and enter your password.

To terminate the VPN connection, click on the green button to the left of the VPN profile.
