Open SSTP Client

1. Open the Open SSTP Client app, and under the Home tab, input the following values:

  • Hostname: 4gvpn.net

  • Username: your proxy license ID (e.g., 1A2B-2024-12-02)

  • Password: your proxy portal login password (the proxy license UUID will also work)

2. Toggle the VPN activation switch. It will immediately toggle itself off and produce an error via notification, offering to allow download for the untrusted server certificate. Tap the notification, which will open the file explorer; create a new folder, and save the crt file.

  • If you do not see any notifications, you may need to manually enable notifications for the app.

  • A new folder must be created because on newer Android versions, Android will not allow apps full access to system folders, including Downloads.

3. In the app, go to the Setting tab, and toggle on Specify Trusted Certificates. Tap Select Trusted Certificates, and allow access to the directory containing the downloaded certificate.


4. Tap SSL Version and select TLSv1.3 (the other options work also, just not DEFAULT).

5. Swipe back to the Home tab and toggle on the connection.

You should now be connected to your MobileHop proxy via VPN.


OpenVPN Connect

1. On your Android device's web browser, navigate to your proxy license page and download the OpenVPN Profile (UDP Default).

  • Note: If you experience issues, try downloading the UDP Alternate profile instead.​


2. Locate the .zip file you downloaded and extract it; you can extract to your Downloads folder, or another location if preferred.


3. Open the OpenVPN Connect app, then switch to the Upload File tab. Select Browse, navigate to the extracted folder, and select BOTH the included .ovpn and .conf files. Select OK to complete the import.

4. After importing the profile, press Connect.


​5. You do not need a client certificate, so just tap Continue when prompted for it.

​​

6. You should now be successfully connected to the VPN.

  • If you are unable to connect after completing Step 6, then go back to Step 1, download our UDP Alternative profile, and repeat Steps 2-6.

  • If you still have issues connecting, please reach out to our support team for assistance.
