Profile Management

Overview

Profiles are OpenVPN configuration files (.ovpn) stored and managed by the OpenVPN 3 Linux configuration service. The client never stores profile content directly.

Importing a Profile

Three import methods are supported:

• File — drag and drop or browse for a .ovpn file
• URL — paste an HTTPS URL that serves a .ovpn file
• Token URL — paste an openvpn://import-profile/... token URL

Via CLI:

ovpn-gui profiles import-file /path/to/profile.ovpn
ovpn-gui profiles import-url https://vpn.example.com/profile.ovpn

Managing Profiles

• Search — use the search bar to filter profiles by name
• Rename — click the edit icon on a profile card
• Delete — click the delete icon; this also removes the profile from the OpenVPN 3 configuration service

File Association

When installed via native packages, the app registers as the default handler for .ovpn files and openvpn:// URIs. Double-clicking a .ovpn file opens the import dialog automatically.
