hello i want to connect to my open vpn server from my android mobile phone using the open vpn connect app with out copying over the config file to the mobile but instead using the import from URL option on the app. is it possible via the pfsesne open vpn server? and if so how do i configure this?
using the import from URL option on the app. is it possible via the pfsesne open vpn server?
No. Install the confgi file like most people do… There is some kind of security in that…
OR, put the config file in your own web server somewhere and let everyone import it.
You need a 2nd pkg for DL the file…OpenVPN-client-export that will allow input to create the config file for different types of systems. A username on the pfSense is frequently needed for each user to authenticate from. Then transfer that file securely to the device and import it from the OpenVPN app…then remove the file from the device. That file is your “key” so to speak
There’s vids that do a good job of walking you through the setup
thank you for ur reply. i am not concerned about the security atm this is all in a test environment. i just wanna know how to get this function to work. so u said it is not possible to do it directly from the pfsense but instead to put the config file in any webserver and app will import it from there?
put the config file in any webserver and app will import it from there?
Yes, if everything is set right permission wise on the www server…
i am getting this error when i import it using my web server ip or my open vpn server ip - Failed to import profile incorrect response from server.
