  • Inside the app, tap Import File and upload the provided OBF configuration file. When prompted, enter your VPN username and password.
  • After the profile is imported successfully, toggle the Imported Profile to initiate the connection.
  • Once connected, your VPN session will be active, and your internet traffic will be securely routed through the VPN.
  • You can verify that your VPN connection is working by checking your IP address on any IP checking website.
