The Android platform has APIs that let developers create virtual private networks (VPN) solutions. These apps can provide VPN protocols that the built-in clients don’t support, and can help you connect to the VPN service without the need for complex configuration.

This article explains how you can make use of the OpenVPN app on your Android device to connect to NordVPN servers. This article also explains how to manually configure the connection using the NordVPN application and an OpenVPN Profile. This method requires more specialized knowledge but can give you greater control over your mobile data and the quality of your connection.

To begin, download the OpenVPN Connect app from the Google Play Store. Next, obtain the OpenVPN config files from your VPN provider. The config files come with a.ovpn extension and can be downloaded from the VPN provider’s website or by reaching their live chat team for assistance. Once you’ve downloaded the config files and saved them to your Android device (or PC). You can download directly to your device or use an application like ZArchiver.

Start the OpenVPN application and then tap „+“ to add an VPN profile. Select a server and then tap „Connect“. Once connected, the tunnel secures all Internet traffic to the server. The app will also display the status of the connection and the details in the Status tab. The app has an option to keep the VPN connection in use even when it’s not being used.
