1. On your proxy license page, download the blue VPN profile labeled iOS/macOS Profile (Standard).

2. Open the vpn.mobileconfig file that was downloaded. You will see a Profile Downloaded pop-up; click OK to continue.

3. Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older macOS), and at the top you will see a new Profile Downloaded entry. Select it, and it will automatically take you to General > Device Management. Double-click the VPN profile.

4. At the next window, select Install, then select Install again in the next popup. Enter your password when prompted.

5. Now on the left in your settings pane, select VPN, and toggle on your MobileHop VPN to connect.

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


OpenVPN for Mac

1. Download the OpenVPN Profile (UDP Default) from your proxy license page.

  • If you experience connection issues, try downloading the OpenVPN Profile (UDP Alternate) instead.

2. Extract the downloaded .zip file, and you should see an .ovpn and a .conf file inside; keep these two files together in the same folder.

3. Double-click the .ovpn file, and it should automatically open in OpenVPN Connect. Click OK when prompted to import the profile, and then click Connect.

4. You may see a pop-up asking to select a certificate; this is not necessary. Simply click Continue to connect to your proxy.

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