crunkjuice1 Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 I had installed private internet access “PIA” with a laptop months ago. For whatever reason connection fails now. I don’t have no computer at the moment but I’m on iPhone. I can go to hybrid vpn section advanced enter username and password but can’t paste the pia openvpn configuration file. Has anyone ever setup hybrid vpn through iPhone????
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted August 2, 2019 Administrators Posted August 2, 2019 I'm not overly experienced with iPhones, but I think you'd need some kind of notepad app or coding app that can open files and let you see them in their text form. Does iOS even let you download files?
crunkjuice1 Posted August 2, 2019 Author Posted August 2, 2019 It has a notepad but I don’t know what to use to view the configuration line copy it and then paste it within the hybrid vpn configuration screen.
crunkjuice1 Posted August 4, 2019 Author Posted August 4, 2019 Do I just have the wrong files? Is it supposed to be openvpn configuration line code?
Administrators Netduma Alex Posted August 5, 2019 Administrators Posted August 5, 2019 You're supposed to copy the actual contents of the file. If you can't do it on an iPhone, send the file to me and i'll send you back the contents.
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 18, 2019 Administrators Posted September 18, 2019 Click reply to topic then click 'attach' and then select the file to upload.
crunkjuice1 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Posted September 19, 2019 I don’t want to post it in case it has personal account information for my account in pia
crunkjuice1 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Posted September 19, 2019 Is there a way to send you file in a email or private message???
crunkjuice1 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Posted September 19, 2019 Ok it is VERY possible to setup the hybridVPN using private internet access VPN service without the use of a computer. I used my wife’s android phone instead of the iPhone. I used a file manager app to see the line code and it was plain as day! I’m sure anyone that’s more savy with iPhone can get the same result, I just don’t know how. only thing now is it says “connected” I added my cell phone to list and when I go to PIA website it still shows me not being protected by the PIA I’m going to reboot router and see if that’s helps. well did reboot but phone is still not saving to add device list. do I need to add advance settings for ports beginning/end destinations?
Administrators Netduma Fraser Posted September 19, 2019 Administrators Posted September 19, 2019 The config file is a standard file provided by the VPN provider so no sensitive data there. You'll need to change the device to Do NOT VPN these services and it should then be protected by the VPN.
crunkjuice1 Posted September 19, 2019 Author Posted September 19, 2019 Cool thanks for the tip I’ll give it a try and see what it does.
