−
<li>start the "<strong>OpenVPN installer</strong>" and let it install the OpenVPN binaries</li>
+
−
<li>create a folder with the name "<strong>openvpn</strong>" on your sdcard</li>
+
−
</ul>
+
−
<p>Now you can either do the configuration manually, or use our prepared configuration package.</p>
+
−
<p><strong><br /></strong></p>
+
−
<p><strong>a) Prepared configuration package:</strong></p>
+
−
<ul>
+
−
<li>Download this file: <a href="http://hmastuff.com/android/HMA_OpenVPN_on_Android.zip"><strong>HMA_OpenVPN_on_Android.zip</strong></a> - extract its content into the "openvpn" folder you just created on your sdcard.</li>
+
−
<li>Open the file "<strong>password.txt</strong>" and replace the lines with your VPN account username and your password.</li>
+
−
<li>The package contains 1 sample TCP config file (Dusseldorf, Germany) and 1 sample UDP config file (Copenhagen, Denmark)<br />You can just replace the server IP at the bottom of the config files with the IP from a different VPN server.</li>
+
−
</ul>

</div>
−
<div class="image-container floatleft"><strong>b) If you want to do the configuration manually, follow this steps:</strong><br />
+
 
−
<ul>
+
 
−
<li>Download the keys and certificates from <strong>http://hidemyass.com/vpn-config/keys</strong> - put them into the "<strong>openvpn</strong>" folder you just created on your sdcard</li>
+
 
−
<li>Create a textfile called "<strong>password.txt</strong>" in the "<strong>openvpn</strong>" folder - open this textfile and enter your VPN account username as the first line, and your account password as the second line. Save it.</li>
+
<div class="wrapper">
−

−
<li>Now, start the app "<strong>OpenVPN settings</strong>". It should show the config file you just downloaded. Tap it and hold, then select "<strong>Edit config file</strong>".</li>

<span class="plainlinks">[https://wiki.btguard.com/images/openvpn_win2.4_3.png https://wiki.btguard.com/images/openvpn_win2.4_3.png]</span>  
−
<li>Change the line "<strong>auth-user-pass</strong>" to "<strong>auth-user-pass password.txt</strong>".</li>
+
  </div>
−
<li><strong>ATTENTION: Since we are using inline certificate and key files within the *.ovpn config files now, this might be absolete!</strong><br />Check the lines regarding the certificates and keys, e.g. if they are like "<strong>ca ./keys/ca.crt</strong>", you need to put the keys and certificates in a subfolder named "<strong>keys</strong>".<br />Or you can remove the "<strong>./keys/</strong>" part and leave the keys and certificates in the same folder as the <strong>*.ovpn</strong> config files.</li>
+
</div>  
−
<li>Remove the line "<strong>show-net-up</strong>", "<strong>dhcp-renew</strong>", "<strong>dhcp-release</strong>"</li>
+
<div class="right">
−
<li>Save it. Now copy the config file into the "<strong>openvpn</strong>" folder.</li>
+
  <p>
−
</ul>
+
6. Go to '''C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\Config'''<br />
−
</ul>
+
If non-existant then go to '''C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\Config'''<br />
−
<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
<br />
−
<p>For connecting to the VPN, start the "<strong>OpenVPN settings</strong>" app, then do:</p>
+
You should have the following files in the Config folder.<br />
−
<ul>
+
<br />
−
<li>Check the checkboxes next to "<strong>OpenVPN</strong>" and next to the config file you want to use for connecting.</li>
+
''If the Self-Extractor didn't work, download the [https://wiki.btguard.com/uploads/openvpn2.4.zip ZIP] file and move those files manually.''<br />
−
<li>You should get notified that you're connected now. You can verify your IP at e.g. <strong>http://ipaddress.com</strong></li>
+
<br/>
−
</ul>
+
''If it won't allow you to unzip the files directly in the Config folder, try extracting them to the desktop then moving them to the folder ''<br/>
−
<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
  </p>
−
<p>If this does not work, you have not installed all necessary apps correctly or mistyped your username+password.<br />When you have enabled logging in the "<strong>OpenVPN settings</strong>" app, you can check the logs of your config file for the reason.</p>

<h1>Troubleshooting</h1>
+
 
−
<p><br /><strong>If you are unable to connect to the VPN from your Android device, please note:</strong><br />- Always try both protocols (PPTP+L2TP) and a few servers to compare the results. <br />- For PPTP or L2TP connections, make sure to use your <strong>PPTP password</strong>, not your account password.<br />- All passwords, logins, secrets are <strong>case sensitive</strong>, please watch for capital letters.<br />- If you are trying to connect via <strong>3G:</strong> please check if you provider is blocking the connection. Most mobile data plans don't include VPN support.</p>
+
 
−
<p><br />In case that you are connecting via WiFi, please check <strong>PPTP/L2TP passthrough</strong> options of your router.<br />For [[DD-WRT]] routers, go to <strong>Security &gt; VPN</strong><br />- Enable <strong>PPTP Passthrough</strong><br />- Enable <strong>IPSec and L2TP Passthrough</strong><br />- Click <strong>Save</strong><br /><br />Also, deactivate the integrated <strong>firewall</strong> of your router. <br />In some cases it's necessary to forward VPN related ports to your Android devices IP. (alternatively set devices IP as exposed host, = forwarding all ports)</p>
+
 
−
<p>&nbsp;</p>
+
<div class="wrapper">
−
<ul>
+
<div class="wrapleft">  
−
<li>Of course you can also connect your Android device to the VPN by using a VPN router. E.g. get a DD-WRT supported router, flash it with DD-WRT firmware. Then configure it for our VPN using the instructions from the article <strong>[[Router configuration]]</strong>. Once done, you can just let the Android device use the routers WLAN connection, then it will be automatically protected by the VPN.</li>
+
  <div class="left">
−
<li>An alternative (not recommended way though) is to use a local hotspot for the VPN, and then let the Android device connect to that hotspot. You can use the instructions from the article <strong>[[Blackberry]]</strong> for this purpose.</li>

== For qBittorrent Users! ==
 +
We have noticed that some IP leaks can happen with qBittorrent while using a VPN. <br/>
 +
<br/>
 +
To fix this we have 2 solutions.<br/>
 +
-The first one is to use an older version of qBittorrent. [https://sourceforge.net/projects/qbittorrent/files/qbittorrent-win32/qbittorrent-3.3.16/qbittorrent_3.3.16_setup.exe/download Click here to download v3.3.16]<br/>
 +
<br/>
 +
-If you prefer to use the newest version, please apply these changes in the settings.<br/>
 +
<br/>
 +
<br/>
 +

For qBittorrent Users!

We have noticed that some IP leaks can happen with qBittorrent while using a VPN.

To fix this we have 2 solutions.
-The first one is to use an older version of qBittorrent. Click here to download v3.3.16

-If you prefer to use the newest version, please apply these changes in the settings.


In qBittorrent, go to Tools - Options - Advanced and change the Network Interface from Any interface to the one OpenVPN is using.

Most likely it should be Local Area Connection but depending on your network setup on your computer it could be named differently.

To find the name, please follow the instructions below.

2. On the Network Connections page, look under Advanced network settings and click on Change adapter options

3. Find the one that says TAP-Windows Adapter V9.
In this case it is called Local Area Connection but it could be named differently on your end.

This is the one you want to select in the qBittorrent settings.
