Android 16

Android 16 phones and tablets should use Wirelayer's OpenVPN profiles with the official OpenVPN Connect app. Keep your Wirelayer credentials and a downloaded .ovpn profile ready.

  1. Sign in to your Wirelayer account and open the OpenVPN config section in the customer area.
  2. Download the .ovpn file for the server you want to use to your Android device.
  3. Open the Google Play Store, install OpenVPN Connect, and launch it once.
  4. On the app's import screen, choose File and select the downloaded Wirelayer .ovpn profile from Downloads or your file manager.
  5. Approve the profile import when OpenVPN Connect asks for confirmation.
  6. If Android asks whether OpenVPN Connect may set up a VPN connection, tap OK or Allow.
  7. Enter your Wirelayer username and password if the profile prompts for credentials.
  8. Tap Connect to start the VPN tunnel.
  9. When Android shows the VPN key icon and OpenVPN Connect reports Connected, your device is using Wirelayer.
  10. If you want the VPN to reconnect automatically, review Android's Always-on VPN option for OpenVPN Connect in the system VPN settings after the first successful connection.

You can import multiple Wirelayer server profiles into OpenVPN Connect and switch between them without reinstalling the app.
