.ovpn file invisible to OpenVPN Connect

Post by civi1ian » Wed Mar 11, 2015 1:13 pm

Hi, I'm trying to import my .ovpn config file but when I navigate to the directory on my SD card where the file is located it is not visible to OpenVPN Connect. When I navigate to the directory with My Files I see it so I know it's there. If I connect my phone to a computer I can see the file as well. Any idea what might be happening here? I'm running android 4.4.2 on a Samsung Galaxy S4.

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

You must open the .ovpn config file in Notepad++ or similar and convert it to UTF-8, and go to File>Save as, and save it as: all types (*.*) Make sure you didn't save it as .txt, and you should be fine.
