Importing OpenVPN Configs on macOS

macOSOpenVPN

Introduction

On a Mac, install OpenVPN Connect and import a VPN Safe .ovpn. This is the path when WireGuard UDP is blocked or you already live in OpenVPN Connect.

App: openvpn.net/client (macOS)
Zips: vpnsafe.net/downloads/openvpn-udp.zip / vpnsafe.net/downloads/openvpn-tcp.zip

Import and connect

  1. Install OpenVPN Connect for macOS and open it.
  2. Unzip the UDP pack.
  3. Click + > File and choose a city .ovpn (example 10gb-unitedkingdom-london1.ovpn).
  4. Enter VPN Safe username and password.
  5. Allow the VPN / helper prompt in System Settings if macOS asks.
  6. Toggle the profile on. The Connect menu-bar icon shows connected.

Check vpnsafe.net/whats-my-ip. Enable Seamless Tunnel in Connect Settings if you want a kill switch. Launch Options can restore the last profile after reboot.
