The Android platform comes with APIs that allow developers to build virtual private network (VPN) solutions. These apps offer VPN protocols that the built-in Android client is not able to support. They can help you connect to VPN services without complex configuration.

This article explains how you can use the OpenVPN app on your Android device to connect to NordVPN servers. This article also shows how to manually configure the connection using the NordVPN application and an OpenVPN Profile. This method requires a little more knowledge, but can give you a greater control over your mobile data as well as the quality of your connection.

To get started to begin, download the OpenVPN Connect app from the Google Play Store. After that, you’ll need to obtain the OpenVPN configuration files from your VPN service provider. The configs come with a.ovpn extension file and can be obtained from the VPN provider’s website or through their live chat support. After http://openvpnandroid.com/improved-analytics-for-data-structuring-as-a-new-feature-of-vdr-providers/ downloading the config files to your computer or Android device, you can transfer them to your device. You can download directly to your device or use an application like ZArchiver.

Launch the OpenVPN application and tap “+” to add an VPN profile. Choose a server, then tap “Connect”. Once connected, the tunnel is secured to all Internet traffic to the server. The app shows the status of the connection and the details in the Status tab. The app also comes with an always-on VPN option that keeps the connection alive even when the app’s not active.
