This article will guide you on how to make use of OpenVPN on your Android device to connect with NordVPN servers. It also explains how to set up the connection using the NordVPN app and an OpenVPN profile. This is a more complicated method however it gives you greater control over the quality of your connection as well as mobile data.
To begin 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. These configs have an a.ovpn extension file and can be downloaded from the VPN provider’s website or through their live openvpnandroid.com/nordvpn-vs-ipvanish-vs-expressvpn-vs-openvpn/ chat support. Once you’ve downloaded the config files and saved them to your Android device (or PC). You can download directly to your device or use an application such as ZArchiver.
