OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi everybody,
please help me. I want to import an ovpn file to the iphone via url from my local webserver.

I know that it is possible because I found a page where it works: http://www.vpngate.net/en/do_openvpn.as ... 3&hid=6186
After open the offered ovpn file with safare the iphone offers to open the file with openvpn app.

If I try to do this with nginx webserver my iphone always opens the file and shows me the content.
After analysing the code of vpngate.net I recognised that they use a kind of downloading script. That means they don't open the ovpn file directly but the use:

a href="...openvpn_download.aspx?...&vpngate_118.108.96.82_udp_1194.ovpn"

I tried already to create a php file and to manipulate the header() entries but without success.
Please help me!

Thanks and best regards
Christoph

example php code sorry my english.

hi chayakornc,

thanks for your reply. It tried this already but it didn't worked. For a Android Phone I tried it worked but my iPhone always asked me how to open it.

Currently I solved it differently. I added the following line to the /etc/nginx/mime.types: If somebody has questions to my solution, please contact me via the phone number of my homepage: http://www.ionas.com.
Best regards

Probably because your nginx is taking care of the HTTP session headers and not paying attention to what comes from PHP.
