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.

There is one major problem... And it just keeps getting worse with every release... the "seamless tunnel" option does not work as advertised. It will "leak" under certain circumstances. The connection will get dropped when the phone or device goes to sleep and it will continue to allow communications outside the secure tunnel. Sometimes it will even randomly drop the VPN connection while you are actually using the device. Not trustworthy at all.

Works exceptionally well. Very easy to import connection files. I've used this for several years now and had no major issues. My one and only gripe is the connect/disconnect switch is sometimes difficult to click. It responds to clicks (animation changes) but does not actually switch. Outside of that, excellent job.

This issue did not exist in the previous version, and I am using the exact same .ovpn config file. It seems that in the new version, credentials are not persistently cached and get lost during reconnection attempts, especially after device sleep. 🔹 Request: Please fix the credential handling bug in reconnection logic in the next update. Many users are experiencing the same issue, and the only workaround for now is to downgrade back to 3.3.4, which worked perfectly.
