General Setup via OpenVPN

Some devices are not yet supported by the SafeDNS Agent or cannot have it installed for various reasons. In this case, you can configure the SafeDNS filtering via the third-party app OpenVPN.

⤵Download OpenVPN

OpenVPN creates a VPN connection using the SafeDNS Configuration file that contains all settings of chosen filtering policy.

OpenVPN does not change or hide your Public IP, as regular VPN services do, it only receives filtering rules from your dashboard.

Multiple devices can use the same filtering policy, but each device should use its own Configuration file.

Devices filtered via OpenVPN remain protected in any network.

The installation process is the same for all platforms: you need to download the Configuration file, install OpenVPN, and import the Configuration file.
