External IP-address - IP-address of the mobile phone, which End user is connected to via proxy access points or .ovpn config.

Proxy access points - ip/port/login/password used to connect to the proxy.

Config .OVPN - file with type .ovpn to run through the programs that support this file type.

iProxy.online has supported UDP, which is highly requested feature. It’s implemented by connecting via .ovpn config.

What is .OVPN config? What’s the difference from usual proxy access points?

.OVPN config is a file which is possible to create for each connection on the iProxy.online dashboard.

1. Install 470 version of the application or higher. Download it from Play Store or APK.

2. It is possible to connect to the phone’s traffic using .OVPN config. Install the program on your device first:

Windows: https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/

MAC: https://tunnelblick.net/cInstall.html

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.blinkt.openvpn

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/openvpn-connect/id590379981

3. Download .OVPN config from iProxy.online dashboard and open it using the program (from paragraph 1). Open connection settings - UDP section - ADD UDP connection. Download OVPN config.

All done! The traffic of the computer goes through the taffic of the phone.

The difference between .OVPN connection and usual proxy access points (TCP)

TCP

TCP is a usual way of connection to the proxy using ip/port/login/password. It is necessary to add ip/port/login/password of the proxy in each program in oder to use external IP-address in it.

.OVPN

The whole traffic of the computer goes through the proxy while connecting via .OVPN config, thus proxy access points are not used, it’s not necessary to insert them to the programs.

What are the advantages of .OVPN over TCP?

• Different ways of connection to the proxy. It is not necessary to insert proxy credentials.
• The whole traffic of the computer goes through the external IP of the phone, this means that all programs running on the computer will work through the external IP address, even those that do not have the ability to specify proxy credentials.
• Another and more modern way to transfer data. When working through .OVPN, configs successfully pass UDP, HTTP/3, QUIQ tests.
• It is possible to connect via the cofig not only from a computer, but also from phones (Android, iOS) or routers.

What is necessary to know about UDP, HTTP/3?

• All the major players now support HTTP/3 (Google, Facebook, etc).
• HTTP/3 (QUIC) protocol is mainly used to work with video/audio broadcasts.
• All the major browsers support HTTP/3.

This means, that when connecting through older protocols (TCP), the behavior is different from the most users who simply visit sites directly from their phones. Thus, working through UDP for websites looks as natural as for ordinary Internet users. Which ensures the maximum trust from the sites.

Features of the work with .OVPN configs

• Working through .ovpn configs is suitable for those who run work on remote virtual machines or physical computers without using anti-detect browsers.
• At the time of writing the article, .ovpn configs are not supported by antidetection browsers. Make requests to the antidetection browsers you work with a suggestion to support .ovpn.
