Leave a Review OpenVPN Connect
Version 3.4.2 has problems. (Edited. Problem fixed!)
Version 3.4.2 will not allow me to connect to devices on my home network. Prior to Version 3.4.2, everything was working great and I have made no changes on my end. Currently, with Version 3.4.2, I am able to establish the VPN connection with my VPN server (TP-Link ER7206 Router), but cannot access any devices on my home network. I deleted and then recreated the VPN profile on the ER7206. I deleted/reinstalled the app on both of my iOS devices and re-imported my profile. Nothing works. Just to make sure it is not a problem with my server, I connected remotely to my server with a PC using the Windows OpenVPN app version 3.4.3. I was able to connect and reach all of the devices on my home network. As a side note, I have an iPad and iPhone that are both running version 3.4.2. Both devices worked perfect until the 3.4.2 upgrade and now neither device will connect with devices on my network. Both devices simultaneously stopped working immediately after the 3.4.2 upgrade.
Edit: Was finally able to get this working by modifying the compression line in my profile.
The original line was: comp-lzo no
I modified it to: comp-lzo adaptive
After making this modification, I re-imported the profile into both iOS devices. Immediately, I was able to connect with my VPN Server and reach all devices inside of my network.Show lessMike 3001

Using ovpn files from the local iOS file system doesn’t work. I want the option to browse the file system from the app. Creating new profiles is awful because iOS doesn’t see OpenVPN as an available app for opening .crt or .key files and there is no way to select them from in the app. Opening them from the mail app also doesn’t work as it won’t let you import the certificate and key files. Why not just add the feature to manually set up a VPN either rather than having to use a profile? When it works it’s fine but getting setup is way too much of a pain with the stupid overly simplified UI.Show lessAfflaic
