Step 4 : When the installation is complete tap Open. Reference screen shot below.

Step 5 : All your precious VPNs section will be highlighted. Tap on the import button on the top right of the screen.

Step 6: Navigate to the folder location where you copied the files in step 2.

Step 7 : Tap the server configuration file you would like to import. E.g. France Server config file. Press Select.

Step 8 : If the path to the certificate files was correct you should see no errors - You will just see multiple lines similar to 'Trying to read file from your file location (e,g

/mnt/sdcard/openvpn/ca.crt') - This means the import of the certificate files was a success. Tap the ‘import’ icon at the top of the screen.

Step 9: Tap on the settings button next to the server file imported in the right section.

Step 10: Type your cyberghostvpn username in the username field & keep Password

blank. Hit back button.

Step 11: Tap on the new server profile that you just created.

Step 12: Tap on the checkbox if you agree to trust the application.

Step 13: Enter your CyberghostVPN password - Tap OK to connect. Reference screen shot below.

Step 14: You will see a log being generated as the connection is in progress. Once

successfully connected you should see a lock icon in the notification area.

Step 15: If you pull down your notification bar you should see the 'OpenVPN for

Android' app listed showing that you are connected. If you tap on this button you should

see statistics about the connection including an option to disconnect. Reference screen shot below.
