Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do if the IFN doesn't provide access to a website I need?

    If you require access to specific domains that are not yet covered by IFN, please add the list of domains to the request and we will review and add it to our list if approved.

  • Can I use IFN on more than 1 device?

    Yes. We allow to use up to 3 devices simultaneously. If more than 3 devices are connected, then one of the devices will be disconnected. To use the second and third device, login on the new device through the Connect app or download the new profiles through the OpenVPN Cloud portal.

  • Can I ask for access for a friend that does not have an email address?

    You can download your profile manually (follow instructions in the email) and then give the profile to your friend using some other means. (note you can't both be connected using the same profile at the same time, but you can always request a second profile for yourself).
