Once installed an icon will be placed on your home screen where you can find the app. Look for the words "openvpn connect" and the application will show up in the search results. To obtain the OpenVPN Connect app, go to the Apple App Store on your Apple iOS device. The OpenVPN Connect app is able to remember multiple different servers, but only one can be active at a time. Trying to connect to two different servers at the same time is a function we did not build into our official OpenVPN Connect app, and it is also not possible because the underlying operating system does not allow this. This program supports only one active VPN tunnel at a time.

On the official Apple App Store, the client you can download and install for free there is called OpenVPN Connect. However, we are currently the only one developing and maintaining an app on this platform. We do not intend to limit our customers and cause a type of vendor lock-in situation. So a client program is required, and there is only one client available that works on standard Apple iOS devices. And of course, the reverse, to decrypt the return traffic. Therefore a client program is required that can handle capturing the traffic you wish to send through the OpenVPN tunnel, and encrypting it and passing it to the OpenVPN server.
