Manual Method to create a unified `.ovpn` file

There are two(2) sections to our unified .ovpn file:

  1. The OpenVPN client conf section
    • The file is obtained from the Download Client Configuration above.
    • Open the myPhone.ovpn file and comment (put # at the start) or delete the lines that say auth-user-pass and auth-token-user USER. If you don't, the OpenVPN app on your iOS device will keep asking for a username and password that you don't have.
    • Scroll to the end of the myPhone.ovpn file and add the line below:
<ca>
  1. The Root Certificate (ca directive)
    • Open the OpenVPN webpage (Services > OpenVPN), scroll down to the Certificate Authorities and -Keys
    • Click the blue "i" icon in the line that says "Root Certificate". Copy everything between and including the BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE lines at the bottom of the page.
    • Paste what you just copied at end of myPhone.ovpn.
    • Add the following line after the END CERTIFICATE line:
</ca>

That's it!

As a side note, you can keep or delete the <pkcs12> section in the .ovpn file, it makes no difference either way.

This has been tested to work on iOS 26.3.1, OpenVPN 3.7.2 (6402) and IPFire 2.29 Core-Update 200.
