App crash when launched. Please help!

Hi,
I used to use OpenVPN Connect (IOS 7) for a period of time, which worked well. Recently, I update my iPhone5 to IOS 8.1, and got it JB. Then I found I can't use the app anymore. The app will crash when launched. I've updated the app to Version 1.0.5 which should be the most updated version till now. Please help.

Thanks!

I have the same issue, but I think I found the culprit.

I also have a Cisco IPSEC VPN profile installed for work (this isn't for use with OpenVPN). If I delete this IPSEC profile, OpenVPN Connect doesn't crash any more. If I recreate the IPSEC VPN profile, it starts crashing again.

Please can we get this fixed? OpenVPN shouldn't care about other VPN profiles installed.

Thanks
Billy

Delete any non-openvpn VPN profiles you have and you'll be able to open the app again.

Note that you can still actually use/connect to the openvpn VPNs directly from the Settings-VPN page, so don't even need to use the app as much now.

There's a bug filed with openvpn for this.

Cheers

PS: Maybe you can explain differencies between OpenVPN and Guizmovpn from Cydia? Both now are using utun...
