  • Overview

      Overview
    The overview displays various information about the connection status.
    Symbol Status Description MSA v2.2.8 iOS-VPN-App Übersicht-en.png
    Internet connection and VPN tunnel active
    VPN-Tunnel active
    VPN-Tunnel inactive
    Network connection via WLAN or cellular network active
    Network connection via WLAN or cellular network inactive

    Pause VPN
    The VPN tunnel is interrupted for a specified period of time
    (1, 2, 4, 8 hours / Until tomorrow morning at 6 am).

    Start VPN
    Immediate re-establishment of the VPN tunnel

    Stop VPN

    Running connection

    Running connection
    Current information about the running connection is displayed here.
    Active profile: Mobile Security Displays the active profile
    Status: Disconnected
    Connected
    Displays the current status of the connection
    Received: 17.6 KB The amount of data received
    Sent: 176.0 KB The amount of data sent
    Received per second: 0.0 KBit/s The amount of data received per second
    Sent per second: 0.0 KBit/s The amount of data sent per second
    Connection time: hh:mm:ss The runtime of the connection in hours:minutes:seconds

    Course of time

    Course of time
    Shows the upload and download data volume of the current connection in two diagrams. The last 5 minutes are shown at the top and the last 100 minutes at the bottom.
    Each point in the 5 minute diagram corresponds to the average value over 5 seconds.
    Each point in the 100 minutes diagram corresponds to the average value over 1 minute.
    As long as no connection is active, no new values are generated and the past data is displayed. As soon as a new connection is started, the new data is included in the calculation of the average values. The display therefore refers to the last 5 or 100 minutes with an active connection. Regardless of whether there were breaks during this time.

    Profiles overview

    Add profile

    Add profile via portal
    notempty
    VPN Configurations for Roadwarrior
    require a UTM v14.0 or higher.

    notempty
    New from app version: 3.0

    Additional profiles can be added via the Securepoint Portal


    To do this, a new Roadwarrior is created under  Unified Security Consoleconfig for an existing core UTM using the  Satellit/Roadwarrior button.
    If a Roadwarrior connection already exists and only needs to be expanded, the desired profile can be selected via the button under the Profil option.
    Alternatively, if a suitable iOS profile is included in a Roadwarrior connection, the iOS device can be assigned to this profile.
    Once this VPN connection is published via  Publish or the iOS profile is saved, the VPN profile is added to the VPN app.
    Further information can be found in the Wiki article under VPN Configuration

    Add profile manually
    To add another profile, click on the button. The corresponding file is selected in the Files app that opens. Two different formats are accepted:
    • a zip file containing all required CAs, certs, keys and the ovpn file
      • an unzipped zip file via the import of the .ovpn file
        If all required CAs, certs and keys are also included there.
    • an inline-.ovpn-Config file, in which all required CAs, certs and keys are written into the .ovpn file via XML
