OpenVPN & NETunnelProvider

Post by laoba » Sun Jul 31, 2016 6:37 pm

Hello,

This may be the wrong board to post on, but I figured maybe the iOS app devs read this board and thus be able to help!

I am writing an iOS app that that uses the NETunnelProvider network extension entitlements (already received from Apple) to connect to our vpn servers.

I am able to get the .ovpn file on our end, and I added it to the OpenVPN app manually, and it did connect to the VPN as expected.

I am having a hard time, however, figuring out how to combine NETunnelProvider with OpenVPN in order to connect with the Network Extension frameworks that were released in iOS 9.

Does anyone have an example code or any experience at all doing this? Hopefully someone has been able to pair the two together previously :)

Thanks in advance!

None and no help from the OpenVPN team either. I wish they would opensource their iOS solution so we could integrate their VPN protocols!
