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.

​In the latest update, the UI text labels and placeholders are completely invisible during the profile import/setup screen (appears as a blank dark screen with only the input line and the 'Next' button). This seems to be caused by a theme contrast issue or a bug with RTL/Arabic system language. Please fix this rendering glitch in the next update.

Works great... But not consistently I have a von server at home. I use a desktop app to connect my computer constantly. I would do the same with this app, and set my android VPN settings to always on, but the app regularly crashes when in the background and/or with the phone locked. Otherwise the app works great. Just not constantly, which defeats the purpose. Only missing feature: whitelisting of home WiFi (not even sure if that's possible though).

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.
