OpenVPN in iOS

Post by yuvismahi2 » Sat Jul 04, 2020 5:45 am

Can the openvpn protocol or modified versions of openvpn protocol be implemented in apps in iOS? VPN providers claim their iOS app don’t have openvpn because of apple’s policies, but I wonder if this is actually the case.

Openvpn is open source.

If by the above you mean can iOS per-app VPN use OpenVPN as transport, the answer is yes, but using per-app VPN requires applications be devlvered using a management platform (MDM/UEM software).

He are my notes on setting up the profiles:

My Proton VPN iSO app uses IKEv2 & OpenVPN so it's not blocked my Apple. That said I have had issues using OpenVPN on High Sierra.
