VPN Setup help

Before you start

Register an Android device on the devices page and download its config in the phone's browser. If this is your first time, the overview in what you need to get started explains the whole flow.

Connect with the tunnel app

1. Install the official tunnel app from Google Play.
2. Open the app and tap the blue plus button.
3. Choose "Import from file or archive" and select your downloaded .conf file.
4. Allow Android to add the VPN connection.
5. Tap the toggle to connect. A key icon appears in the status bar.

Complete instructions, an example config, and troubleshooting are in the manual tunnel setup guide.

Useful Android settings

• Always-on VPN: in Android settings under Network, you can mark the VPN app as always-on so it reconnects automatically.
• Block connections without VPN: the same screen offers a kill switch that stops traffic if the VPN drops. The kill switch guide explains when this matters.
• After connecting, confirm it works with verifying your IP changed.
