Open VPN on a restricted iPad

Post by ualdrivr » Thu Jan 25, 2018 1:11 am

Hi guys,

Maybe a dumb question. I have an iPad that I would like to install OpenVPN on. The iPad is limited as far as to what apps can be installed on by the owner of this iPad which I work for. They only allow apps that they approve and access to the Apple App store is impossible through the iPad, it's completely non existent on it, locked out. Is there any other way to use my OpenVPN that I have setup on my router with this iPad without having to install the OpenVPN app?

Thanks

I don't think you can. The app has to come from the AppStore. However, it seems like your admin does not want you to run a VPN, otherwise it would have allowed the OpenVPN Connect app. For this reason I don't think it's a good idea to support this case :)

That's what I thought. Thanks for the reply.
