TunnelFleet supports two OpenVPN transports on the same server. Pick the one that matches the network you are on.

​
Protocols

You can enable both at once and give users separate .ovpn profiles.

​
Auth model

OpenVPN users authenticate with username and password. Profiles are shared per protocol on the server; credentials are per VPN user.
  1. Create a user on the Users tab (or use the default tunnelfleet user)
  2. Download the .ovpn for TCP or UDP
  3. Import into OpenVPN Connect (or another compatible client)
  4. Sign in with the VPN username and password

Client platforms

Windows

macOS

Linux

Android

​
Firewall

Allow TCP 443 for OpenVPN TCP and UDP 1194 for OpenVPN UDP on the VPS and in any cloud security group. Use Protocols → Repair Firewall if ports need to be re-applied.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Auth failed → wrong username/password or user still pending sync
  • TLS handshake timeout → port blocked on cloud firewall
  • Works on TCP but not UDP → network is filtering UDP; use the TCP profile
